There are three common misunderstandings about daily sun protection that many people ignore

First, there is no need for sun protection on cloudy days and winter.

The intensity of UVA in ultraviolet rays does not change much throughout the year, and a considerable proportion can penetrate clouds even on cloudy days. Daily commuting, working by the window, and long-term accumulation will also make the complexion dull and accelerate aging. It is recommended to treat sunscreen as a daily habit like brushing your teeth, rather than something "only done in the sun".

Second, put on sunscreen and you'll be fine

Sunscreen is only one part of protection. If the dosage is insufficient and not reapplied in time, the actual protection will be significantly reduced. A more secure approach is to combine "hard sunscreen + sunscreen": hat, parasol, try to avoid the strong light period at noon, and then apply it in sufficient quantities. Sensitive skin can be preferred to physical occlusion.

Third, only protect the face, ignore the neck and back of the hands

The neck and the back of the hands are also affected by ultraviolet rays, which is prone to color difference and fine lines. When applying, bring your hands to the front of the neck and the back of the hands, and you can reduce future unevenness for tens of seconds. Overall care is more important than local fineness.

summary

The core of sunscreen is "daily, sufficient amount, combined with shading". Turning it into a daily habit with a low threshold is more meaningful than an occasional high-intensity protection. If the skin has special conditions, or is undergoing a medical aesthetic project, it is recommended to refer to the guidance of a professional doctor.
