Ultraviolet rays can cause skin aging and reduce the content of elastic fibers and collagen fibers. Ultraviolet rays on cloudy days are weaker than those on sunny days, but ultraviolet rays still exist, so you should also pay attention to sun protection.

1. Sun protection equipment

Wear outdoor sun protection equipment, such as large-brim sun hats, sun protection clothing, parasols, and sun protection sleeves. Because there is ultraviolet radiation all year round. I prefer to carry sun protection gear that is easy to stack and lightweight, and foldable hats and sleeves. Parasols may be relatively inconvenient to carry and easy to lose.

2. Sunscreen

Sunscreen products include lotion type, gel type, spray type and other types. You also need to choose according to skin type or use occasion, but no matter what texture For sun protection, try to choose refreshing ones in summer. In addition, the amount of sunscreen applied must be sufficient. Generally, about two fingertips are needed for the face and neck. Be sure to remove sunscreen completely every night, so don't rest and sleep with it on.

3. Fruits and vegetables that help protect against the sun

Ingest an appropriate amount of yellow and red fruits and vegetables: red, orange fruits and vegetables and dark green leafy vegetables, such as carrots, mangoes, tomatoes, papayas, water spinach, etc. , all contain a large amount of carotene and other phytochemicals, which help to resist oxidation and enhance skin resistance. Vitamin C is known as the "holy product of beauty" and is one of the most important antioxidants.

Eating more of these fruits can prevent your skin from getting sunburned and give you healthy and fair skin. Kiwi, lemon, navel orange, grapefruit, strawberry, grape, etc. are all fruits rich in vitamin C. Eating more can protect you from the sun. Most of the vegetable oils in nuts are rich in vitamin E, which can help resist oxidation and eliminate free radicals. Drinking green tea or using skin care products containing green tea ingredients can reduce peroxides that cause sunburn, sagging and rough skin due to sun exposure by about 1/3. Generally, healthy people drink tea to maintain health. 2-4 cups a day is more suitable. You can also drink different types of tea.

Summary: The disadvantage of sunscreen is that it has poor photostability and needs to be reapplied repeatedly after being exposed to the sun for a long time. I will try my best to choose sun protection equipment for sun protection first, and then apply sunscreen lotion, because I often wear makeup when I go out, so it is not convenient to apply it repeatedly.
