Do you apply sunscreen in other seasons than summer?
In fact, it is said that in spring, the amount of UV-A waves, which cause wrinkles and sagging, is three times higher than in winter.
Also, in May, we are entering the most sunny season.
If you are not wearing sunscreen or not applying it correctly, you may be unknowingly causing wrinkles and sagging in the spring. ......
When you hear such things, many people are in a hurry to take sunscreen measures right away.
So, in this article, I will show you how to apply an effective sunscreen.
Criteria for choosing a sunscreen
Many of you may have seen "PA" or "SPF" listed on sunscreens.
PA" is for UV-A (A ultraviolet rays) and "SPF" is for UV-B (B ultraviolet rays).
"The higher the number of + and the higher the value, the more effective it is. ++++ is the maximum value for PA, and 50+ is the maximum value for SPF, which means 50 or higher.
Be careful when picking up sunscreen.
When applying sunscreen, shake it well before use or it will not be fully effective.
Also, most people dab sunscreen directly on their skin, but you need to be careful how you apply it.
Direct application is effective for arms and legs, but not for face and neck.
For the face, it is said that it is best to use a 1 yen coin size and place it on the cheeks, forehead, nose, and chin, and then spread it over five areas, and for the neck, use a 10 yen coin size and spread it over several areas.
At this time, it is more effective to blend from the bottom to the top.
Be careful not to leave too much on!
However, even if you apply it effectively, it will be useless if you leave any residue.
Especially around the neck, the areas that tend to be left unattended are the hairline, between the eyebrows, eyelids, ears, sides of the nose, lips, face line, and back of the neck.
On the body, the back of the hands, the back of the feet, the sides and sides of the body, the knees, and the backs of the knees are the areas that are often forgotten to apply.
The skin of the lips in particular is thinner than the rest of the body and has less melanin pigment, making it more susceptible to UV rays.
The cheeks, nose, neck and back of the chin, which are close to the sun and are easily exposed to the sun's rays, should be carefully covered with sunscreen.
How often should I reapply?
No matter how well you apply sunscreen, its effect will gradually wear off as you sweat or swim for long periods of time.
Therefore, it is necessary to reapply every two to three hours.
It is especially difficult to apply sunscreen to your face because you are worried about your makeup falling off, so it is best to remove excess oil from the surface of your skin and then spray sunscreen on your face.
Let's protect ourselves from UV rays even in spring!
Since strong ultraviolet rays are still flying in spring, sunscreen protection is important.
