Extreme Heat Weather, Experts Do Not Recommend Using Korean Sunscreen

Dream - The extremely hot weather not only makes everyone feel uncomfortable. Intense exposure to sunlight is also very dangerous for skin health.

"Not only does exposure to sunlight increase the risk of skin cancer, but it can also worsen other skin problems such as acne and hyperpigmentation. Especially if you, Sahabat Dream, often use certain active ingredients at night such as retinol and high-concentration glycolic acid. That's why you should use the right skincare to effectively protect your skin from the dangers of sunlight exposure."

"Usually sunscreen becomes a mainstay for protecting the skin from the dangers of sun exposure, but it turns out its use is not highly recommended by experts. Especially during hot weather like now. Why?"

"Sunscreen Vs. Sunblock"

"Magister Anti-aging and founder of Privee Clinic, Almond Wibowo recommends the use of sunblock rather than sunscreen. So, what is the difference between the two? "Sunscreen tends to be slightly oily, so hot air or steam (from within the body) has difficulty escaping. In other words, it clogs the face," said Almond as quoted from Liputan6. He also revealed that the main difference between the two types of skincare lies in their composition."

Apart from that, sunblock works by blocking UV rays by forming a physical protection. Meanwhile, sunscreen absorbs UV rays to prevent them from reaching the surface of the skin.

"Sunblock only blocks UV rays, but the evaporation of water levels (in the skin) can still occur (especially in hot weather). Evaporation happens to lower body temperature, that's why moisturizers and skin barrier products are used to maintain water levels, so that the skin does not become sensitive and dry."

"Not only recommending the use of sunblock, it also does not recommend the use of Korean sunscreen products because of their tendency to have a more moisturizing and glowing texture when applied. Especially since the weather in Indonesia is quite humid."

Using sunscreen that makes the skin oily can cause the product to fade quickly and ultimately reduce its effectiveness even if it is reapplied multiple times a day. Therefore, Almond recommends using sunblock after moisturizer to keep the face moisturized even during activities where there is a loss of moisture.

"Acne-Prone Skin Still Needs to Use Moisturizer"

"our skin has two glands; sweat glands and oil glands. Sweat glands never form pimples, it is usually (formed) by oil glands. Bacteria indeed grow more easily in oil than in water, so a moisturizer that is primarily water-based will be safe," suggests Almond. The use of a water-based moisturizer will feel lighter when applied. Meanwhile, a moisturizer that makes the face feel sticky and uncomfortable may contain oil."

Friends of Dream can find out the main content of the moisturizer by reading its content. If "water" is in the first place, it means that the moisturizer contains more water. Meanwhile, moisturizers that contain oil will have a lot of writing with the word 'oil'.
