Miss C Recommendation presents five must-have sun protection items
I’m sure many of you have heard the saying, “Thailand has three seasons, summer, super summer, and optimum summer.” The hottest time of the year is during April and May. Besides the high temperatures, summer comes with the scorching sun. Although morning sun is good for processing Vitamin D, strong sunlight can damage your skin. Today, I want to introduce five essential sun protection items.
Sunglasses
Strong sunlight can affect your eyesight and damage your eyes. Wearing proper sunglasses can prevent pinguecula and keratitis. Sunglasses labeled UV400 provide UV protection.
UV umbrella
Umbrellas can prevent us from direct exposure to the sun and block ultraviolet radiation which can damage our skin cells, and cause skin cancer. You should select a high-quality umbrella that can block UV rays. Umbrellas are available in a vast variety of sizes and colors to suit your taste and usage.
Hat
A hat is a simple portable item that should always be in your bag. Hats are available in different styles such as caps, floppy hats and boaters. You can choose a style that fits your personality and go out without worrying about the sun’s rays. I have some tips for selecting and wearing a hat. Don’t choose a hat that is too tight because you might feel uncomfortable. You should adjust the angle of the hat to suit the shape of your face.
Long-sleeved shirt
You should wear long-sleeved shirts that are made of light fabrics to protect your skin from the sun’s rays when going out. You can shop for high-quality long-sleeved shirts at affordable prices in Big C’s clothing department.
Sunscreen
The last essential item I recommend for this summer is sunscreen. When selecting a sunscreen, choose one with SPF (Sun-Protection Factor) 30+, and that has sweat-proof and waterproof properties. You should apply sunscreen at 15 – 30 minutes before going out. The top 3 popular sunscreens that I recommend are:
- • KA UV White Magic Cover Protection SPF 50+ is suitable for all skin types. It can protect your skin from UVA and UVB. Moreover, it contains moisturizing, anti-ageing and skin cell regeneration boosting ingredients.
- • NIVEA Sun SPF50+ PA+++ for sensitive skin. This sunscreen is fragrance and paraben free. It contains L-Carnitine which can help reduce excess sebum and acne.
- • Srichand Luminescence Fabulous UV Shield SPF50 is suitable for sensitive skin. It has a light texture, is absorbed quickly and effectively prevents UV radiation.
