Summer is approaching, and prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays unknowingly puts the skin at risk of tanning and aging. Whether hiking, going to the beach, or even just going out for a stroll, don’t forget the importance of sun protection in summer. Even if you are ready before going out, you must not have a lucky mentality and forget to reapply sunscreen according to the different SPF levels. Be fully prepared for sun protection from all angles, as sun protection is anti-aging!
// Sunscreen Tips //
Everyone applies sunscreen, but does everyone know how to use sunscreen correctly? When everyone has emptied their essence, moisturizer, and foundation bottles several times within a year, but sunscreen is barely used once a year, you must pay attention to your sunscreen habits. In fact, not only in summer, but all year round, even on cloudy days, you must do a good job of sun protection. The UV intensity on cloudy days is actually 70% of that on sunny days, so you must not take it lightly.
When choosing sunscreen, SPF and PA ratings are the main concerns for most people. SPF is used to protect against UVB rays, with higher numbers indicating stronger protection. PA, on the other hand, is used to protect against UVA rays, with more plus signs indicating stronger protection. In addition to ratings, texture is also a key factor in choosing sunscreen. Generally, physical sunscreens are harder to spread and can be a bit sticky, but they are more suitable for sensitive skin and children. If you prefer a refreshing and lightweight texture, you should opt for chemical sunscreens.
As for the frequency and intensity of sunscreen reapplication, if you don’t want to remember the complex formulas that vary by sunscreen product series, basically, sunscreen products with SPF25 or higher should be reapplied every two to three hours in a cool place to enhance protection. Finally, thoroughly clean the areas where sunscreen was applied with makeup remover to remove any residue.
