Applying sunscreen directly on the face can cause serious damage to the skin

We all know that sunscreen is an important weapon against ultraviolet rays in summer. It has various types, from powder liquid to air cushion type sunscreen, as well as the popular sunscreen spray, which has always remained vibrant. But many people apply sunscreen directly on their faces, which is actually very harmful to our skin. Applying sunscreen in this way will not only fail to provide protection but will also make your skin condition worse. Let’s learn about applying sunscreen.

1. Sunscreen skin care products

In summer, due to the abundant sunlight, the radiation of ultraviolet rays and other rays to the human body also increases, causing the secretion of melanosomes in the granular layer of the skin. The speed of melanocytes increases, which can easily cause pigmentation or increased pigmentation. Therefore, ladies should pay special attention to avoid excessive sun exposure, especially those with pigmentation. In addition, after ladies have completed skin care in the summer, the use of exfoliating products will make their skin thinner and their corresponding resistance will be weaker than usual. They should be more careful not to expose themselves to the sun or work in the sun. Another point worth noting is that you can do more to replenish moisture to the skin in summer, but when it comes to full skin care, don't do it too often to avoid damaging the skin.

2. Avoid applying too much sunscreen

The sunlight is too strong in summer, so many people choose to apply sunscreen to resist ultraviolet rays and strong light. It is enough to apply a thin layer of sunscreen on the face (except around the eyes). Remember to reapply it every two or three hours. There is no need to apply too thickly each time. Otherwise, the skin will not be able to breathe, the pores will be blocked, and too much oil will accumulate, causing various acne and pimples.

3. Side effects of excessive sunscreen application

Side effects of physical sunscreens

Physical sunscreens mainly contain oil ingredients such as zinc oxide and titanium oxide. Although they have advantages such as being mild and non-irritating, their common disadvantage is that they are relatively greasy. If you use physical sunscreens with a high SPF and do not pay attention to the order of makeup removal and use, it can easily cause clogged pores and even acne or pimples. Therefore, you should choose a sun protection factor that matches the sun protection environment, and develop the habit of removing makeup and the correct order of use.

Side effects of chemical sunscreens

Chemical sunscreen is an important category of sunscreen. Its ingredients are usually chemical ingredients. Although it has good permeability, its disadvantage is that it can easily irritate the skin. Allergic problems such as skin redness and swelling are related to the blind or improper use of chemical sunscreen. Its function is to absorb ultraviolet rays and then decompose them into heat and discharge them. Therefore, in order to avoid irritation to the skin, it is necessary to wash it with water. At the same time, correct usage habits are also very important.
