Notes on sun protection: Correct use of sunscreen is crucial

Regarding the precautions for sun protection, it is crucial to use sunscreen correctly. If you don’t use sunscreen, it is easy to cause sun spots.

Notes on sun protection

Hello, my dears, you must have heard about the Hundred Miles Hiking event held in Changsha last weekend. What about me? Participating in this event also taught me a lesson: Be sure to wear sunscreen when you go out.

Why sun protection ?

Ultraviolet rays will directly cause aging and pigmentation, making your skin no longer young and fair. Any skin problem can be aggravated by UV damage. For example, acne-prone skin can be affected by ultraviolet rays and stimulate the sebaceous glands to secrete more oil. With the ozone layer hole caused by air pollution, ignoring the damage of ultraviolet rays will also bring the risk of skin cancer.

No sun protection leads to sunburn

Sunburn is an acute damaging response of the skin to intense sunlight exposure. Erythema, edema, and even blisters occur in exposed areas, often in late spring and early summer before the skin becomes tanned. If you are exposed to the sun for a long time, spots will appear on your face, which are most common around the cheekbones.

Not using sunscreen may lead to skin cancer

Australia, with its thin ozone layer, has always had the highest incidence of skin cancer. Therefore, do not underestimate the harm of sun exposure to the human body. If you don't use sunscreen and are exposed to the sun for a long time, be careful of skin cancer.

How to use sunscreen correctly?

01Clean your face with facial cleanser.

02 Apply water, lotion and cream (no need to use cream in summer), and make circular motions on your face to allow the skin to fully absorb.

03After absorption, apply sunscreen, apply from bottom to top, and pat gently. Remember not to circle on the face like lotion, otherwise it will cause pores to be clogged.

04Sunscreen needs to be reapplied every 2 hours, otherwise it will have no effect.

05 After coming back from outside, the first thing to do is to clean your face with facial cleanser. It is best to apply water and lotion after washing. Don’t forget to moisturize at any time.

From the above hazards, we can see that we must actively protect ourselves from the sun, whether it is applying sunscreen, using a parasol, wearing a hat, or wearing long sleeves and long pants, which can all resist ultraviolet rays. Take action and don't let your skin get hurt.
