Exactly why should you use sunscreen?
Applying sunscreen daily, even if you work in an air-conditioned office, is a brilliant idea.
Wearing sunscreen helps prevent damage to the skin caused by the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays. UVA and UVB are the two forms of ultraviolet radiation that may damage skin. UVA is the kind of light whose long wavelength allows it to reach the dermal layers of the skin.
Damage from UVA may be cumulative over time, leading to wrinkles and age spots on the skin. ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation, which has a shorter wavelength and penetrates the skin more profoundly, causes sunburn. The most effective sunscreens block 100% of UVA and UVB rays. Sunscreens with these characteristics are called "broad-spectrum" or "full-spectrum" products.
You won't usually need sunscreen in the evening, which is one of the most typical times you won't be outside. If the sun has set and you won't be exposed to UV radiation, you don't need to reapply sunscreen after showering or washing your face.
While it's dark outside or there's no indirect sunlight, such as sleeping, you don't need sunscreen either.
Benefits and drawbacks of sunscreen
As we explore the sunscreen world more deeply, it's crucial to be aware of its benefits and drawbacks. The COSRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream improves upon the already impressive features of traditional sunscreen formulations. It provides excellent protection from UVA and UVB radiation thanks to its high SPF50 PA+++ rating.
The infusion of aloe vera not only calms the skin but also helps to moisturize and nourish it, leaving behind a radiant and revitalized appearance. It absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy film, making this composition ideal for everyday usage. People with known allergies or sensitivities to any components should use caution and do a patch test before adding it to their regular skincare regimen.
Pros of using sunscreen
Sunscreen's ability to deflect or soak up potentially cancerous ultraviolet light is a significant advantage. Sunburn, accelerated aging, skin discoloration, and an increased risk of skin cancer are all possible outcomes of prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Sunscreen protects against the sun's harmful rays, mitigating their effects.
Reduces the risk of skin cancer
Skin cancer is one of the most common worldwide, and exposure to the sun's UV rays is a significant risk factor. The risk of skin cancer, including melanoma, may be reduced by using sunscreen regularly, particularly with a high sun protection factor (SPF).
Prevents skin aging
UV radiation from the sun causes premature wrinkling, fine lines, and sagging as it breaks down collagen and elastin. Sunscreen helps prevent photoaging by defending against the sun's damaging ultraviolet A and B radiation.
Fights hyperpigmentation
Too much sun exposure can cause the body to make too much melanin, which causes dark spots and uneven skin tone. Hyperpigmentation may be avoided, and its appearance minimized by using sunscreen.
Sunscreen's Downsides
Chemical Ingredients and Allergies
Some sunscreens contain chemical ingredients like oxybenzone and octinoxate, which can cause skin inflammation, allergic reactions, or hormonal changes in some people. Mineral-based sunscreens, which employ chemicals like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, are becoming more popular since they have a lower risk of triggering allergic responses.
Effects on the Environment
Some chemical sunscreen ingredients can harm marine life and coral reefs if they get washed into oceans and other bodies of water. You may lessen this effect by protecting your skin from the sun while also protecting coral reefs by using a reef-safe sunscreen.
False Sense of Security
Sunscreen is an excellent way to protect yourself, but depending on it alone may give you a false sense of security. Sunscreen is only effective when combined with other sun safety precautions, such as staying in the shade, using protective clothing, and staying inside during the sun's peak hours.
How to Apply Sunscreen
Sunscreens are skin-only. Follow product packaging instructions. Consult your doctor or pharmacist.
- Apply sunscreen liberally 30 minutes before sun exposure. 1 ounce (30 grams) covers the body.
- Reapply sunscreen after swimming, sweating, towel-drying, or rubbing off.
- Reapply sunscreen every two hours while outside. Apply lip balm just on the lips.
- It's combustible in spray form. Do not smoke or keep this drug near heat or open flame if using the spray.
- Avoid getting sunscreen in your eyes while applying. Rinse sunscreen from the eyes.
- Use with caution or avoid use on skin that is irritated.
- Use sunscreen on babies under 6 months only if instructed by a doctor. Babies should wear caps and long sleeves/pants outside to protect themselves from the sun.
- If you get a severe sunburn or suspect a significant medical issue, seek medical assistance immediately.
Expert Opinion
The American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) advises that sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher be used, with liberal application over all exposed skin and subsequent reapplication at 2-hour intervals or after swimming or heavy perspiration. They stress that sun protection measures should include the use of sunscreen.
The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends applying sunscreen that protects from UVA and UVB radiation, thus the term "broad-spectrum." They also emphasize the need to use sunscreen in your regular skincare regimen and put it on all exposed skin, regardless of skin tone.
Environmental Working Group (EWG): The EWG recommends using mineral-based sunscreens with chemicals like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. Their sunscreen buying guide includes brand ratings based on their safety and efficacy.
Wrapping Up
Sunscreen is essential for preventing sunburn and repairing skin damaged by the sun's ultraviolet rays. Experts agree that it has several advantages, including protection against skin cancer and senility. Nonetheless, one must take into account the possibility of allergic reactions, and the effect on the environment,
