If you don’t protect yourself from the sun, you will age quickly. Here are some tips for men to protect themselves from the sun in summer.

Many people think that sunscreen is a female specialty and men don't need it. This idea is really wrong. Since the ultraviolet rays in the sun are harmful to the skin, if you don't do a good job of sunscreen when you are young, as you age and your testosterone level decreases, the aging of men's skin will accelerate. Therefore, men also need to do a good job of sunscreen.

1: Sunglasses are the most widely accepted sunscreen product. A simple and decent pair of sunglasses can not only help you effectively block ultraviolet rays, but also enhance your personal temperament. Therefore, in summer, why don't men choose a pair of sunglasses that suits them?

1: The choice of sun hat is one step more fashionable than sunglasses. Small hats come in different shapes and can be matched with different clothes. They can clearly show a person's mood and state at the time, and at the same time they can provide good sun protection, killing two birds with one stone.

1: Clothes of different textures and colors have different sun protection effects. For example, the SPF value of cotton clothes is about 15-40; the SPF value of polyester light-colored clothes is about 7-10; the SPF value of knitted light-colored clothes is about 4-9. Dark red or navy blue synthetic clothing is the most ideal sun protection clothing. Men are best to avoid wearing light-colored clothes.

1: There are many foods that can protect against UV rays in our daily diet, such as vegetables and fruits, especially strawberry and tomatoes, which have strong UV protection functions. Scientists from Germany and the Netherlands have conducted in-depth experiments and found that if each person eats 40 grams of ketchup every day, the risk of sunburn will be reduced by 40%.

2: If you add 10 grams of olive oil, the sun protection effect will be better. Scientists believe that this may be because safflower plays a major role in sun protection.

1: Sunshade can only reduce direct sunlight and reduce the invasion of ultraviolet rays to a certain extent. If you stay outdoors for a long time, it is recommended to use sunscreen appropriately. Men have oily skin, so it is best to choose a relatively refreshing chemical sunscreen. You can also use toner before using sunscreen, which has the effect of controlling oil. Remember to reapply after washing your face or when the sunscreen expires.

2: Apply sunscreen 20-30 minutes before going out. If you stay outdoors for a long time, reapply it every 80 minutes. You must also reapply sunscreen after sweating during heavy exercise. In addition, you should maintain good hygiene habits and promptly remove sweat stains and dirt accumulated in your pores. This is the most fundamental and effective way to care for your skin in summer.

3: Apply sunscreen as much as possible before going out. If you are really lazy and don't want to use any equipment, then try to avoid going out during the midday when the ultraviolet rays are the strongest. When going out, try to avoid direct exposure to the sun. It is best to walk in the shade of trees or under the eaves of shops along the street to avoid direct sunlight.

If you get sunburned while going out or doing outdoor activities, you should repair and care for it in time and apply some after-sun repair cream. If necessary, you should seek medical treatment.
