Use sunscreen correctly to avoid being afraid of the sun

The hot summer has arrived, and sunscreen must be a must-have for many people. Sunscreen can not only prevent us from getting tanned, but also protect the skin from UV damage. However, if the sunscreen is not used correctly, its effectiveness will be wasted. So how should sunscreen be used correctly?

1: Many people must be like me, who only use sunscreen when the weather is hot, because our skin can be easily tanned by the sun. In fact, not only in summer, no matter what season, even on cloudy days, the power of ultraviolet rays cannot be underestimated. Although it cannot be seen now, melanin slowly accumulates in our body, and it will affect the skin over time.

1: Make sure to apply sunscreen evenly. Don't just remember to apply it on your face, but forget about your neck, arms and other parts. Otherwise, you will find that everything except your face is dark, which is not very good looking! Don't forget behind your ears!

1: Sunscreen should be applied about 20 minutes before going out, because sunscreen does not have sunscreen effect immediately after application, it needs time for the skin to absorb it. And the sunscreen effect of sunscreen will not last all day, so when you sweat a lot or after applying sunscreen for a few hours, you should reapply sunscreen.

1: In order to completely protect themselves from the sun and keep their fair and tender skin, many people use several brands of sunscreen to pursue better sunscreen effects. This is wrong. Mixing multiple brands of sunscreen together will not only repel each other, but also fail to achieve the ideal sunscreen effect and may cause allergies. In fact, many excellent sunscreens have good sunscreen effects, so there is no need to use so many products.

1: Don’t think that you only need to use makeup remover when you are wearing heavy makeup. You still need to remove makeup after using sunscreen and primer to avoid sunscreen residues remaining on the skin and clogging pores, causing rough skin or acne and other problems.

1: Before using sunscreen, you should clean your skin first, then apply toner. If you have dry skin, you can apply a layer of lotion after applying toner, and then use sunscreen. If you are going to be exposed to the sun for a long time, I recommend that you use products with SPF30/PA+ or above. If you stay in the office facing the computer for a long time, then just use SPF15/PA+ products.

Sunscreen with a high UVA/UVB number and a less complex formula!!! It is not advisable to use day cream with sunscreen products at night! In the car or indoors, some ultraviolet rays will still penetrate, so you need to apply sunscreen as appropriate.
