Sunscreen when the UV index is high!
As summer approaches with high UV indexes, protect your skin from sun damage, freckles, and aging with sunscreen. Apply it 30 minutes before going out and reapply every 3-4 hours, especially after sweating. Remember, regular masks don't block UV rays.

Sunscreen when the UV index is high!

Summer is approaching, bringing with it higher UV indexes.
Since UV rays directly affect skin health, extra caution is needed.
‘Sunscreen’ helps prevent skin diseases from summer UV rays and
maintains healthy skin.
Today, let's learn more about sunscreen.
To prevent UV-related skin conditions such as melasma, freckles, and skin aging,
it's best to avoid going out during peak UV hours, but if you must go out,
it's recommended to apply sunscreen at least 30 minutes before leaving.

During outdoor activities, reapply every 3-4 hours,
and if you sweat a lot, it's good to apply it more frequently.
Also, after returning home, we recommend showering with cool water to lower your skin's temperature.
Furthermore, many people use masks.
Many believe that masks block UV rays, but
this might be slightly different from what you think.
Masks designed to block sunlight may have UV protection, but
health masks, such as KF-94, are made of non-woven fabric to block viruses,
making UV protection difficult.

In addition, sunscreen alone might not be enough, so
it's advisable to prepare clothes made of sun-blocking material, wide-brimmed hats, parasols,
and masks that can cover your face.
