The Reason Why You Get Sunburn Even If You Apply Sunscreen

Even if I apply sunscreen, maybe it burns? That's because "You're not using sunscreen gel properly." If you use it like this, you will get sunburned skin.

  • Apply an appropriate amount out of the tube
  • Spread well over the entire face
  • I just applied it in the morning
  • I use the same sunscreen in every situation
  • Apply sunscreen only on sunny days and summer
  • I only apply sunscreen

In this article, we will show you how to use sunscreen in the correct way act as a sunburn treatment.

If you can think of a checklist, know why you get sunburn.

Wrong sunscreen usage

The first important thing is the amount of sunscreen used. Even if you apply sunscreen, it will burn if you use a small amount.

This is because the "correct amount" is required to obtain the effect of UV protection values such as "SPF" and "PA".

If there is a description in the instruction manual, use the specified amount by measuring it once.

Perhaps most people are surprised to say, "Isn't it necessary to use this much?" It can cause skin cancers.

If the amount is not stated, the standard is "1g". Approximately any Sunscreen gel has a UV protection effect, assuming that you apply "0.2 grams per square centimeter".

SPF and PA values are measured by applying 2 mg of cosmetics to the skin per square centimeter.

If this is converted to the entire face, it will be about 1 gram.

In other words, if you don't use at least this much sunscreen, the original UV protection effect will not be exhibited. With a cream-type sunscreen, 1g is about this amount. It should be more than you think.

You can also use things like aloe-vera gel, cold bath, and baking soda to the affected area of damaged skin.

Reapply Sunscreen Gel

"In the morning, apply sunscreen at the time of make-up and finish."

People who have not reapplied sunscreen will get sunburn.

Therefore, be sure to reapply Gel sunscreen every 3 hours.

The effects of sunscreen do not last all day.

"Sunscreen is only effective when it is on the skin. Once applied, sunscreen cosmetics can also be removed by touching your hands or clothing, or by sweating or wiping it with a towel or handkerchief. It is recommended that you reapply immediately when you think it has fallen off, or reapply (overcoat) every few hours otherwise"

Any sunscreen can be expected to properly block ultraviolet UV rays for about 3-4 hours after application.

That's because the sunscreen gel is getting worse than you think because of sweat, sebum, and rubbing.

To keep your skin protected from UV rays, reapplying sunscreen every 3-4 hours is the best way to avoid sunburn.

To prevent spots and wrinkles around your eyes, reapply

Even in such a case, "I can't reapply because I don't have enough time", I would like to introduce the points that I strongly want you to repaint "only here".

Since the face is exposed to a large area, it is easily exposed to ultraviolet rays.

In particular, the nose and forehead are protruding, so it is easy to get sunburned, but because the stratum cornea is thick, the skin is relatively upper.

However, even among these, the "eyes" are different.

As you can see from the fact that the eyes are easy to dry, the stratum cornea is not thick, and there is a dermis immediately after that.

In other words, the area around the eyes is where spots and wrinkles are likely to occur. "Easily exposed to ultraviolet rays, stains and wrinkles can also be easy to"

"When you are spots and wrinkles, not lingering" It's the eyes.

Therefore, even if you don't have much time here, I want you to repaint during the day.

How to reapply sunscreen around your eyes
  • Spread the milky lotion or gel over your face and

Remove the tissue off. Remove any sunscreen or makeup that is floating or falling on your face.

  • Apply milky lotion to the eyes
  • Apply Gel sunscreen with "stamping"
  • Hold down the powder foundation to finish
Type of Sun Protection

There are different types of sunscreens, each with its advantages and disadvantages.

The cause of sunburn is that it does not take advantage of its good shape.

Also, many people say, Replying, but I get sunburn."

Even though I've been repainting

  • Low usage
  • There is unevenness

There is a possibility that UV protection has not been achieved.

Let's correct the mistake in usage based on each precaution.

Gel Sunscreen

The gel sunscreen type, which is characterized by a light feel that is "non-greasy and does not appear white," stretches very well, so the amount used tends to be less than expected.

Also, as a tendency of people who choose this type, many people are not good at stickiness.

It seems that some people intentionally reduce their usage.

So, unfortunately, I get sunburned even though I'm painting it.

TIP: Dermatologist recommends using Sunscreen Gel with SPF 50.

Use a sunscreen with a waterproof function

The waterproof effect is water resistance. Sunscreens with this function, which means "resistant to sweat and water," are less likely to run off, making it harder to get sunburned.

No matter how much sunscreen you apply, it will be easily removed by sweat and sebum.

In the summer, even the act of wiping sweat has fallen considerably.

In our experiments, when exposed to UV light outside midsummer, sweat began to ooze in about 10 minutes and the sunscreen fell off in 15 to 20 minutes.
