Winter dryness & UV protection

Although the weather is getting colder day by day, it has become a pleasant winter season. I think people are getting used to coexisting with the coronavirus, the number of infections is decreasing, and opportunities to go out are increasing.

Sunlight is essential for the human body, but it is UV rays that we want to protect against. Don't you feel safe just because the sunlight is mild in winter? In winter, UV protection is necessary .

If the amount of ultraviolet rays in summer is 100%, about 30 to 40% are ultraviolet B rays, which cause age spots and dullness. Ultraviolet A rays, which cause wrinkles and sagging skin, account for around 50%. Even in winter, the amount of UV rays is not 0 . In addition, the reflectance of ultraviolet rays is 10% on asphalt roads and 80% on fresh snow . Those who live in areas with a lot of snow or who participate in winter sports are at even higher risk.

Although the effects of UV rays in winter are not felt as rapidly as in summer, the damage to the skin gradually accumulates. Then, around spring, visible problems appear all at once. That's why it's important not to neglect UV protection in winter.

The cold winter weather causes poor blood circulation to the skin, leading to dullness, age spots, and sagging skin. In addition, the barrier function decreases due to dryness and turnover is disrupted, making the skin more susceptible to UV rays, which leads to the accumulation of melanin, which causes age spots.

For this reason, in winter, it is necessary to take measures against UV rays and dry skin . However, sunscreens usually contain ingredients that dry out the skin, and applying sunscreen to dry, parched skin will only further dry out the skin.
