Do you only take measures against UV rays in the summer?

Sunscreen is necessary all year round

Are you okay?

Sunscreen is easy to forget on normal days

Summer is almost here.

It's a fun season to go out and enjoy outdoor activities and traveling.

On the other hand, for those concerned about beautiful skin, this is a time when ultraviolet rays will be of particular concern.

Of course, sunscreen is essential during leisure time.

You need to use sunscreen even when you go out for a short time, such as when you go to work or go shopping.

And this is true even outside of the summer when UV rays are strong!

Ultraviolet rays: the enemy of beautiful skin

Why you need sunscreen all year round


Sun protection is an important part of skin care. But did you know that it's also necessary in seasons other than summer and on days other than when you're not playing leisure activities?

Of course, those who are aiming for beautiful skin may already know this, but it's important to remember that sunscreen is important all year round.

If you forget or neglect it, your path to beautiful skin may become a long one!

日焼けは、お肌のダメージ

日焼け止めが大切なことは知っているけれど、なぜ必要なのでしょうか?なんとなく「お肌を守る」と思っている方も多いと思いますが

「日焼けしている=肌がダメージを受けている」

これは火傷と同様に、肌が炎症を起こしている状態です。ではなぜ紫外線を浴びると日焼けするの?

その理由は、紫外線をあびると身体が肌を守ろうとして「メラニン」を大量に作ります。過剰に生成されたメラニンが色素沈着をおこし、肌が黒くなったりシミやそばかすの原因になります。

さらにこの状態が蓄積されていくとお肌の、たるみやシワの原因にもなってしまいます。

紫外線は曇りや雨、屋内にも降りそそいでくる!

日焼け止めを、日差しが気になる夏場はマストにしている方も多いと思いますが、紫外線は一年中降りそそいでいます。

季節や時間帯によって変化や量は異なりますが、これは太陽が出ていない曇りや雨の日同様。

さらに紫外線は、窓ガラスも突き抜けてしまうため屋内や屋外においても日焼け止めは必要ということです。

そのため、日焼け止めは日常のちょっとしたお買い物や屋内でも、欠かすことができない大切なスキンケアなのです。

So which sunscreen should you choose?

SPF and PA values


SPF value

This indicates the protective effect against UVB rays, which can cause redness of the skin (sunburn), spots, and freckles, and can cause inflammation of the skin.

The effect is expressed as a number between 2 and 50, and if it exceeds the maximum value of 50, it is displayed as "50+".

PA value

This indicates the protective effect against UVA rays, which quickly darken the skin after exposure to sunlight and promote the production of melanin, which causes spots, wrinkles, sagging skin, and pigmentation.

It is expressed in four levels, from "PA+" to "PA++++", and the more "+"s there are, the greater the effect.

A higher number isn't always better!
