The summer heat is unbearable; going out is like being "publicly executed" by the sun. The high-temperature warning pops up from time to time, making people want to pass from home to the destination immediately. In addition to the temperature, as a skin killer, UV skills also directly point full! Therefore, sun protection is one of the necessary summer homework, and eye sun protection is an easy place to ignore; outdoor workers should pay more attention!
Why do we need eye sun protection?
Not in the first period, the latter difficult to do
Beauty bloggers always emphasize that "the most important step in skin care is sun protection," and this is also true for the eyes. Generally speaking, the thickness of the eye skin is about a quarter of the thickness of the facial skin, relatively more fragile and sensitive. Therefore, if it is not done in the first sunscreen, the later eye cream rubbed more expensive and not suitable, and the effect is also significantly reduced.
Easy to ignore the "eyes" sun protection
Sun protection for the eyes is not only about sun protection for the skin around the eyes. UV rays consist of three parts: UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C. The ozone layer absorbs UV-C, and very little of it reaches the ground. Thus, the primary UV radiation from the sun reaching the surface is UV-A and UV-B. Among them, UV-A is the main culprit of cataracts, while UV-B can cause cancer and corneal lesions in the eye.
UV rays are harmful and invisible to the naked eye and can be easily overlooked. Without proper protection, prolonged exposure to UV attacks may damage varying sizes, from the cornea and pupil to the lens, vitreous, and retina.
How to protect your eyes from the sun?
Wearing sunscreen
In fact, not only in summer, we have to rub sunscreen seriously all year round. Of course, this is for those who are more careful about skin management, and it's not a big problem to be lazy about applying sunscreen once in a while. However, when exposed to the sun for a long time, please weld sunscreen on your face to prevent sunburn.
Choose and wear the right sunglasses
First, consider whether the optional sunglasses have a UV protection function. When the human eye is strong, the pupil will become smaller to reduce stimulation; after wearing sunglasses, the pupil is relatively in a more significant state. Therefore, wearing sunglasses without UV protection will make your eyes more exposed to harmful UV rays.
Among them, polarized sunglasses protect the skin around the eyes, avoid UV damage to the eyes simultaneously, and filter the outdoor clutter light source on the interference of vision. To achieve the effect of anti-glare is a very cost-effective choice.
