Chapter 62 Do enough sun protection in summer
For a 30-year-old woman in summer, sun protection is the most important face-saving issue.In the hot summer, strong ultraviolet rays will ruthlessly invade your skin and kill your skin at will. The most obvious problem is the appearance of pigmentation.Almost 30% of people will have spots of different sizes on their faces after the age of 30, and the biggest culprit is ultraviolet rays.The skin has a memory function for ultraviolet rays: when one day, the small memory storehouse of the skin is full of ultraviolet rays, the spots will appear on the face without warning.Therefore, for a [-]-year-old woman in summer, sun protection is the most important face-saving issue.Even indoors and on rainy days, sun protection is required. In order to prevent themselves from getting sunburned, some women always put on full armor, such as sunhats, sun umbrellas, sunglasses, gloves...all the tools that can be used for defense are used. Get up; some people are still hiding in the house all day... But does this really provide complete sun protection?In fact, this does not completely block the damage of ultraviolet rays.Because ultraviolet rays are everywhere, it can not only directly shine, but also reflect.Even if we stay in the house, it can still reflect on our body through doors and windows.And even on cloudy days there are ultraviolet rays.Therefore, even if you are indoors or on a rainy day, you must do a good job of sun protection.External use of sunscreen to block ultraviolet rays. Many women like to apply a lot of cosmetics to their faces. In fact, it is not necessary to do so, and sometimes it can induce inflammation because of sensitive skin.

Especially in summer, we only need a good sunscreen, and then apply some isolation cream properly.When choosing sunscreen products, you can't ignore the SPF.Usually sunscreens on the market are divided into different grades by SPF number.The larger the number, the longer the sun protection time.The calculation method is: assuming that the intensity of ultraviolet rays does not change over time, if a person who does not take any sun protection measures stays in the sun for 20 minutes, the skin will turn red. The time, that is, the skin will be red after 8 minutes.Generally speaking, at noon in summer, when the sun is strong, you should choose SPF8 sunscreen; if you are swimming in the sea, you need to choose SPF120 or above.Of course, this does not mean that the higher the SPF, the better the sun protection effect.You must choose different sunscreen products according to different occasions.Both internal and external are the kingly way. External cosmetics are just skin care. If you want to cultivate good skin, you must also take good care of the inside. Only by practicing both internally and externally is the kingly way!Here, I recommend to you a few foods that can support both the inside and the outside! 30. Tomato is among all the foods, it can be said to be a better sun protection food.This all depends on the antioxidant it contains - lycopene.Studies by scientists from Germany and the Netherlands have shown that if everyone eats 15 grams of tomato paste per day, the risk of being sunburned will be reduced by 1%.

It is said that if the tomato is crushed into a sauce and applied on the face for about 15 minutes, then washed with warm water, it can heal the skin damaged by the sun.In terms of eating method, cooked tomatoes will be better than raw ones, and it will be more effective if they can be eaten with some potatoes or carrots at the same time.If you are really lazy or have no time to scramble a plate of tomatoes and eggs, you can squeeze a glass of tomato juice to drink. 2. Watermelon Watermelon contains a lot of water, which is especially suitable for supplementing the loss of water in the human body; and the nutrients it contains have better effects on moisturizing, nourishing, sunscreening and whitening the facial skin.But watermelon is cold in nature, it is better for female friends to eat less, especially during menstruation. 3. Strawberries In addition, strawberries, lemons, oranges, kiwis, these foods are all helpful for skin whitening.Of course, most fruits are cold in nature. Whether you have a weak constitution or a normal constitution, it is advisable to eat less.Please remember: the greatest wisdom of keeping in good health is "moderation". ?Warm reminders that will benefit you for a lifetime: About sun protection: 1.
