Is sunscreen for men useful? Here are some tips for men’s sunscreen!

It is the hottest time of the year. Environmental pollution causes strong ultraviolet rays that directly cause great harm to the skin. Usually men don’t use sunscreen very often, and many men don’t have sunscreen awareness. So, is men’s sunscreen useful?

1. Does sunscreen prevent tanning?

Of course not. Ultraviolet rays not only darken your skin, but can also damage and age your skin, and even cause photosensitive skin cancer. Therefore, the role of sunscreen is to prevent sunburn and help the skin prevent sun aging. If you are worried that using sunscreen will affect your skin's tanning, you can choose a sunscreen product with tanning effect.

2. How hot does it have to be before you should use sunscreen?

Men who are used to neglecting skin care will generally only realize why they forgot to apply sunscreen when they are "burned" by the sun. However, in fact, the use of sunscreen does not depend on the temperature, but on the intensity of ultraviolet radiation. In the hottest summer of the year, as long as it is sunny, there is still strong ultraviolet radiation even if the temperature is not high, so sunscreen must be used. Once you feel the burning pain after sun exposure, it means that sunburn has occurred, and some after-sun protection products are needed to relieve the pain.

3. After applying sunscreen, my skin always feels greasy and stuffy. What should I do?

Don't mix sunscreen products with your wife. Choosing an oil-free sunscreen specifically for men is the key to solving the problem. In addition, after washing your face in the morning, pat a toner containing a little alcohol on your face to help shrink pores and reduce oil secretion. Then before applying lotion, you may want to apply a layer of oil-reducing gel on the oily parts of your face such as the forehead, the sides of the nose and the chin, and then apply sunscreen, which can control the secretion of skin oil and sweat and keep your skin fresh.

4. What should I do if my skin peels due to sun exposure?

Peeling is caused by strong sun exposure. It usually does not occur immediately after sun exposure, but one to two days after sun exposure. When you find that your skin is peeling, do not pull it off with your hands. Instead, after washing your face every morning and evening, spray the injured skin with refrigerated mineral spray or toner, pat it gently for absorption, and then apply a layer of after-sun repair products. In addition, if the sunburn is serious, you can apply some ointment or take some medicines orally under the guidance of a doctor.
