Lily Invites You to Build a 'Sunshine Defense Line' Together!
The scorching summer sun always tirelessly exudes its charm, but unfortunately, no one can resist its fiery enthusiasm for a long time. How to protect the skin from the troubles of tanning and sunburn? Lily has customized a scientific sunscreen guide for you, allowing you to enjoy summer without fear of the blazing sun.
1. Avoid Misconceptions, Protect Smartly
Misconception: Sunscreen is only about preventing tanning.
Truth: UVA in ultraviolet radiation can penetrate the dermis layer, causing collagen loss and deepening wrinkles, while UVB can cause sunburn and redness of the epidermis. True sun protection means guarding against both tanning and skin damage while preventing sunburned and aging. Reasonable selection of sunscreen products can comprehensively resist dual band ultraviolet rays, which is more conducive to protecting the deep health of the skin.
Misconception: Higher SPF is better.
Truth: Choose different products according to skin type and environmental needs. The higher the SPF index, the higher the content of sunscreen ingredients added to the product, and long-term contact with the skin is prone to adverse reactions. Do not use sunscreen with a high SPF index unless exposed to extreme sun conditions such as beaches for a long time.
Misconception: Apply sunscreen just before going out? Insufficient usage?
Truth: Sunscreen should be applied 30 minutes in advance, and the amount applied should form a thin and complete coating on the surface of the skin. Reapplication is also important, and it is recommended to reapply every 2 hours, especially after swimming or sweating, as water can reduce effectiveness.
2. Multiple Measures, Complete Defense
Before trying to use sunscreen, don't forget to do physical sunscreen, it's the first line of defense in the sun. Choosing UPF50+ sun-protective fabric for umbrellas, hats, and clothing can effectively block over 90% of ultraviolet rays. If possible, it is also effective to avoid going out during peak UV periods or to choose shaded areas such as tree shade for activities.
Take physical isolation measures and consider sunscreen products that are suitable for the usage scenario to provide precise protection.
Lightweight and breathable is key for daily commuting. Sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or below is sufficient to meet the needs, while products with a clear and translucent texture can better reduce the burden on the skin.
When engaging in outdoor activities, especially playing at the beach, it is necessary to develop more effective sun protection measures. The outdoor sunscreen spray of SPF50+ can resist ultra long wave UVA, and can provide stable protection even when exposed to the sun.
For children and people with sensitive skin, physical sun protection is more reassuring. Users with sensitive skin who want to use products with high SPF index should also apply a protective base layer in advance. However, Lily still suggests that you should not stay in the sun for a long time. It is more necessary to prepare a parasol!
Sunscreen is not about last-minute cramming, regular skincare is the key. It is recommended to use Lily's hand cream, face cream and body lotion to keep your skin healthy and not afraid of hot weather!
3. Maintain Balance, Reject Excess
Don't panic too much in the face of the scorching sun. Occasionally sunbathing can be beneficial for the skin and other parts of the body. Sunbathing the arms and legs for 15-20 minutes every day can promote Vitamin D synthesis and prevent osteoporosis. Of course, the premise is to avoid noon!
In addition, consuming foods rich in Vitamin C and Vitamin E - the former can be obtained from various fruits, while the latter is mainly nuts - can enhance the skin's antioxidant capacity.
Be fully prepared with Lily and let's welcome this wonderful summer together!
