Welcome Outdoor Activities! Sunscreen Application: The Start of Skincare

With social distancing measures lifted, outdoor activities are rapidly increasing, aren't they?

However, UV rays are an inevitable part of outdoor activities.

These UV rays are the main culprit behind pigmentation disorders like melasma and freckles, as well as skin aging.

Therefore, the importance of sunscreen to defend against UV attack is emphasized.

So, let's check out the correct way to apply sunscreen.

★ Apply sunscreen 30 minutes before going out.

Apply sunscreen 30 minutes before going out to allow it to be fully absorbed into the skin.

It's best to squeeze out an amount about the size of one segment of your index finger and apply it generously over your entire face.

★ Apply sunscreen in small amounts multiple times.

Sunscreen is more effective when applied in small amounts, patted in for absorption, and reapplied multiple times.

★ Remember to reapply sunscreen every 2-3 hours.

The moment you are exposed to UV rays, the blocking effect begins to diminish, so you should reapply it every 2-3 hours.

If it's difficult to reapply sunscreen, it helps to apply a thick layer of a moisturizing type product with SPF50 or higher.

★ Actively utilizing auxiliary tools for sun protection is also good.

Using auxiliary tools like sunglasses, hats, and parasols can also be helpful.

★ Sunscreen is essential even indoors.

They say that even in the shade, indoors, or on cloudy days, you cannot escape the danger of UV rays.

Since UVA rays pass through glass, it's good to always apply sunscreen when driving or by a window indoors.

Apply it on cloudy days as well.

In fact, due to clouds, UV rays can be reflected and scattered, potentially leading to a higher amount of UV radiation than on clear days.

If UV rays are not properly managed, skin damage such as melasma, freckles, age spots, wrinkles, and dryness will worsen.

Furthermore, skin aging is accelerated, and in severe cases, it can even lead to an increased risk of skin cancer.

Especially for children under 15, excessive exposure to UV rays increases the incidence of skin cancer, so please be sure to use sunscreen.
