In the previous article, we reviewed the effects of UV rays on the skin. I hope you have felt the importance of UV protection.
In this article, I will introduce some specific ways to do so, and I hope you will put them into practice.
How to prevent UV rays
When it comes to UV countermeasures, the first thing that comes to mind is probably sunscreen.
However, sunscreen cannot completely eliminate UV rays.
This is because sunscreens do not nullify the attack on the cells, but delay the time of sunburn by covering the skin.
So, in addition to sunscreen, what other measures should we take?
In order to prevent UV rays, it is important to avoid direct exposure to the sun as much as possible.
Therefore, using a parasol and wearing long sleeves can prevent some of it.
Masks are also a physical measure to prevent UV rays.
In recent years, there are UV-cut type masks that protect against UV rays, so please check them out.
Sunglasses are also effective against UV rays scattered in the air.
Some foods are effective against UV rays!
In fact, there are many foods that can help prevent UV rays.
Vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin E are said to be the most effective nutrients in preventing sunburn.
Strawberries are a good source of these three in balance, and they also have a great whitening effect.
However, they may be difficult to obtain during the summer, in which case, you may want to consume green peppers or pumpkins.
These two also contain a good balance of the three vitamins.
Bell peppers in particular are summer vegetables, so if you take them in the summer, they are full of nutrition.
On the other hand, food can also aggravate UV rays.
In particular, "solarene" has the property of promoting the absorption of UV rays.
Therefore, when you are out and about exposed to UV rays, be careful of foods that contain solaren.
Specifically, it is said that solaren works for about two hours after ingestion, so use two hours as a guideline.
Foods rich in solaren include cucumbers, celery, parsley, mitsuba, shiso, figs, kiwi, acerola, and citrus fruits.
