Can I apply sunscreen on my eyes? How to choose sunscreen for my eyes?

With the arrival of summer, the ultraviolet rays outdoors are getting stronger and stronger. Many sisters have done a good job of sun protection on their faces and bodies, but they don’t know if sunscreen can be used on the eyes. So let’s take a look today - should sunscreen be applied around the eyes?

Can I apply sunscreen to my eyes?

You can apply sunscreen on your eyes. Not only can you apply it, but it is also necessary to use sunscreen around your eyes. The skin around the eyes, although very delicate, is thin and sensitive, and is prone to wrinkles when dry. Eye sunscreen needs to be mild and non-irritating to the eyes. If you can wear sunscreen sunglasses when going out, it will have a stronger sun protection effect.

What are some mild eye sunscreen products?

Shiseido Sun Protection Eye Cream SPF 32

The skin feels very comfortable and silky. With the addition of zinc oxide, this may be a good choice for those with sensitive eyes.

La Roche Posay Hydraphase UV Eyes SPF 29

The active ingredients in this formula are OMC and titanium dioxide. Although it is only SPF29, I believe it is a little more protective than Shiseido. We need to remind everyone that the isononyl isononanoate in this formula is more likely to cause acne and remove blackheads, so you can test it behind your ears for a few days before using it. If there is no problem, you can continue to use it.

CeraVe Sunscreen Stick SPF 50

This product is relatively gentle. It is a pure physical sunscreen composed of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. It also has some barrier repair functions. It can also be tried by people with sensitive skin.

How to choose eye sunscreen

It is best to use thick eye sunscreen products (apply directly on the sunscreen stick) so that they do not easily flow into the eyes. It is best to choose one that contains no or little preservatives, is fragrance-free, and contains less miscellaneous plant extracts - no one knows which ingredient in it will irritate your eyes.

The correct way to use sunscreen

You have to be willing to use a certain amount. The generally recommended amount is the size of a one-yuan RMB coin, but if you are going outdoors, it is best to apply a few more layers. Apply sunscreen at all times and in all places, whether it is sunny or cloudy, indoors or outdoors, at the seaside or in the city. Please remember that ultraviolet rays are everywhere, so please always remember to apply sunscreen. You need to remove makeup after using sunscreen, especially physical sunscreen and hybrid sunscreen.
