Please, Please wear sunscreen
If you think sunscreens are only for the
beachy holidays or basking under the sun, you may want to reconsider.
According to the U.S.’ Environmental
Working Group, about 2 million cases of skin cancers are reported. And majority
of the cases are expected to be prevented had the ultraviolet rays have been prevented
from affecting the skin.
Moreover, ultraviolet rays are known to
prompt ageing of the skin, thus resulting in wrinkles, not to mention freckles.
So please, please wear sunscreen.
These are some of the rules of choosing and
applying the sunscreen properly, according to Metro newspaper in South Korea.
1.
Choose the sunscreen that can
screen both UVA and UVB.
2.
The recommended amount of sunscreen
is 2grams per square centimeters but if you do not want to wear heavy amount, you
can always reapply in the middle.
3.
Wear sunscreen even indoors.
Ultraviolet rays are emitted from the lighting and also the sun ray that
penetrates your window can affect your skin in great amount.
4.
Remember to apply the sunscreen
30 minutes before you go out so that the cream can be absorbed into the skin
and protect the skin properly.
5.
Please apply the sunscreen in rainy
days and cloudy days. UVB is always active during those non-sunny days.
6.
Cleanse thoroughly after use.
The remains can cause skin troubles.
Sun-screening is
at the end of the basic skincare, so it is the best to use before applying foundations.
