The Importance of Eye Sunscreen
The Importance of Eye Sunscreen
Eye skin is one of the thinnest areas of human skin, very delicate and fragile. If not careful with sun protection, it can cause a series of problems, mainly including the following aspects:
1. Ultraviolet rays can cause the loss of collagen activity in the skin, leading to dryness, roughness, sagging, and the formation of wrinkles;
2. Ultraviolet rays can stimulate the generation of melanin in the skin around the eyes, forming pigment deposition type dark circles under the eyes;
3. Ultraviolet rays can also cause the rupture of stratum corneum cells, forming invisible wounds and stimulating the formation of fat particles;
4. Long time excessive ultraviolet rays entering the eyes will lead to a series of eye diseases, including cataracts and eye cancer. Ultraviolet rays are relatively strong in plateau areas, and the incidence rate of cataracts is far higher than in other areas. Ultraviolet rays are the main culprit.
How to do sun protection around the eyes
1. Sunglasses and sunscreen
The best way to protect the eyes from sunlight is through physical barriers. Including sunshade umbrellas, hats, and sunglasses with sun protection index. Due to the scattering effect of sunlight, umbrellas and hats cannot completely block ultraviolet rays, resulting in many fish escaping the net. The real killer of eye sun protection is sunglasses, which can effectively block 99% of ultraviolet rays. You don't have to worry about the burden of sunscreen on the skin around the eyes, and you don't need to remove makeup. It looks good.
However, not all sunglasses have sunscreen function, only sunglasses labeled with "UV" have sunscreen function. Sunglasses with UV protection function are generally labeled in the following ways:
(1) Mark "UV400" to indicate that it can provide full band protection against ultraviolet radiation and block 98% of ultraviolet radiation;
(2) Mark "UV" and "Anti UV" to indicate that it can protect against UV rays with a wavelength of 380nm, and can block 98% of UV rays with a wavelength of 380nm;
(3) Labeling "100% UV absorption" indicates that theoretically it has 100% protection against ultraviolet radiation, but in reality it can block 99.5% of ultraviolet radiation.
