Sun hat covers face and neck

Women's skin is delicate and easily affected by adverse environments, which can cause various skin problems such as dry skin, acne, red blood streaks, and spots. If the skin is sunburned by ultraviolet rays, it will often cause irreversible damage to the skin. When summer comes, all kinds of sun protection tools for women have appeared one by one. For example, the sun hat that can cover both the face and the neck has been popular in recent years and is very popular among female friends.

1. The necessity of sun protection

When the skin is overexposed to the sun, it will damage epidermal cells, accelerate pigment synthesis, destroy the skin's moisturizing function, make the skin dry, and produce fine lines. Under strong radiation, it can also cause skin inflammation and burns. In abnormal cases, it may turn into pigmented skin cancer, etc. After a single prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays, chronic erythema (sun spots) may develop over several hours to more than 10 hours. The skin may become bright red, swollen, and in severe cases, may even develop blisters. The skin erythema reaction reaches its peak on the second day after sun exposure. After about a week, the erythema subsides, there is scaling and pigmentation, and the skin feels burning and painful.

2. Apply sunscreen in the morning

For people with normal skin type, an SPF value of 8-12 is appropriate; for those who are sensitive to light, an SPF value of 12-20 is appropriate; for office workers who only expose themselves to sunlight on the way to and from get off work, an SPF value below 15 is sufficient; when playing outdoors or swimming at the beach, the SPF value of sunscreen should be above 30.

TIPS: Remember, sunscreen must be applied half an hour before going out.

3. Wear sun-protective clothing

Between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. every day is the time when UVB (outdoor ultraviolet) radiation is the highest. If you walk outdoors at this time, you must wear sun-protective clothing.

TIPS: In addition to sun-protective clothing, sunglasses and UV-proof umbrellas are also necessary.

4. Avoid light-sensitive foods

Photosensitive foods include coriander, leeks, soy sauce, white radish, etc. Eating too much can aggravate the damage of ultraviolet rays to the skin in summer. Shark fin, eel, flounder, winter melon, broccoli and tendon all contain "sunscreen nutrients". Eating more of them can help you get moisturizing and sunscreen ingredients.

TIPS: The sun protection effect of strawberries is gradually becoming known to people. So after a meal, you can use strawberries as your after-meal fruit.

Soak a cotton pad in yogurt and apply it on your face for 10-15 minutes. This not only enhances the skin's resistance to UV rays, but also reduces the appearance of sun spots.

TIPS: If you accidentally get sunburned, be careful not to wash with hot water. Instead, use a cold towel to apply cold compress for 20-30 minutes.
