Why do we need to protect ourselves from the sun in winter? Recommended sunscreen products for winter

Using sunscreen is a necessary means to protect our skin, but in winter, when the sunlight does not seem to be strong, we seem to ignore the importance of sunscreen and feel that it is not so necessary. But in fact, we also need sun protection in winter. Why is that? Let’s take a look together below.

Why do we need sun protection in winter?

1. The ozone layer becomes thinner in winter, so ultraviolet rays take advantage of the opportunity to enter and damage our skin. Especially on rainy days, although there seems to be no sunshine, the ultraviolet rays can be high enough to damage the skin. People generally ignore the importance of sun protection in winter, so the skin will be damaged without realizing it.

2. Skin metabolism slows down. Affected by climate and air conditioning, the skin's circulation and metabolism function slows down, and the skin's renewal and repair functions are weakened. At this time, the melanin produced by the skin under the exposure of ultraviolet rays will be difficult to be discharged from the body and will form annoying spots. Therefore, if you do not do a good job of sun protection, you will most likely become a cat.

What should you pay attention to when sunbathing in winter

1. Change to a moisturizing sunscreen.

In summer, due to the high temperature and excessive oil production on the face, everyone will use refreshing sunscreen. However, with the arrival of autumn and winter, the skin becomes dry, so we need to use moisturizing sunscreen to protect our skin.

2. Pay attention to the sun protection index

The higher the SPF, the greater the damage to the skin. The ultraviolet rays in winter are not that strong, about 15 to 30 are enough, which will not put more burden on the skin.

3. Add sunscreen products

In addition to sunscreen products, you can also add a layer of foundation and isolation products with sunscreen function. If you want the sunscreen to adhere better, you can use a makeup sponge to apply it. The best effect is to keep the makeup sponge 80% wet.

4. Reapply sunscreen

When you need to reapply sunscreen, if your skin is too dry, you can apply a layer of moisturizer before reapplying sunscreen. It is best to apply it by patting.
