Do I need to apply sunscreen when wearing stockings? Does sunscreen spray work on stockings?

Many girls wear stockings when wearing skirts in spring and summer. Wearing stockings will make the legs look more charming and have a skin-smoothing effect. So, do you need to apply sunscreen when wearing stockings?

Do I need to wear sunscreen when wearing stockings?

It depends. Stockings are a form of physical sunscreen, and their sun protection ability is generally determined by the thickness of the stockings. Generally speaking, the ultraviolet rays in the sun are stronger in spring and summer, and the stockings we wear are relatively thin, so the sun protection effect is not very good, and it is better to apply some sunscreen. In autumn and winter, the ultraviolet rays are relatively weak, and the stockings we wear are usually thicker, so there is no need to apply additional sunscreen.

Why don't stockings protect against the sun?

The material of stockings itself has no UV protection effect, especially in summer when stockings are thinner. After wearing them, many small holes will appear between the stockings due to pulling and skin stretching, so the skin is directly exposed to UV rays and has no sun protection effect. If you want to use stockings for sun protection, the most basic aspect of stockings is that they cannot be transparent. This way, the stockings can block some ultraviolet rays and prevent them from damaging the skin.

Is it useful to spray sunscreen on stockings?

Sunscreen spray is generally not sprayed on stockings. Sunscreen spray needs to be sprayed on the skin. It can absorb or reflect ultraviolet rays only after forming a sunscreen protective film on the skin, thereby protecting the skin. If you spray it directly on stockings, it will not form a sunscreen film and will not provide good sun protection for the skin. It is not recommended to spray sunscreen spray on stockings. It is recommended that you use the two together.

It is recommended to use sunscreen spray and stockings together

Sunscreen spray is generally used as a supplement to sunscreen. Compared with sunscreen, it is convenient and fast. However, if used alone, the spray will have large space gaps and the sun protection effect is not very good. As a textile, stockings also have large gaps. The thinner the stockings, the larger the pores. Therefore, their sun protection effect is very limited. It is recommended that the two be used together for better results.
