If it gets into your eyes, nose or mouth, wash it quickly with water.
Spray type, recommended to spray on hands and then apply to face
As outdoor activities become more active in May, which is the month of the family, the use of sunscreen (sunscreen) becomes more frequent, and attention is also focused on how to use it safely. If sunscreen (sunscreen) gets into your eyes, nose, or mouth, immediately wash it off with plenty of water.
According to the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety on the 4th, sunscreen protects the skin from ultraviolet rays A and B. Ultraviolet A rays can cause tanning or aging of the skin, while ultraviolet rays B can cause burns on the skin surface in a short period of time.
The blocking effect for UVB is checked by the UV protection factor (SPF), and for UVA, the blocking effect is checked by the UVA protection grade (PA). The SPF index is indicated by individual numbers for those under 50, and 50+ for those over 50, and the PA grade is indicated as PA+, PA++, PA+++, and PA++++.
The higher the number and the more +, the better the blocking effect, but since a lot of UV blocking ingredients are used, it is necessary to check whether the skin is sensitive.
A product with SPF15/PA+ or higher is appropriate indoors, such as at home or in the office, or during relatively short outdoor activities, such as a walk in spring. When exposed to ultraviolet rays for a long time, such as during sports activities, it is advisable to choose a product with SPF50+/PA+++ or PA++++.
Additionally, at beaches and swimming pools where sunscreen can be washed off, ‘water-resistant products’ or ‘continuous water-resistant products’ must be used.
Apply an appropriate amount of sunscreen evenly to skin that may be exposed to sunlight and dry for at least 15 minutes. When exposed to sunlight for a long time, it may be removed by sweat, so it is recommended to apply it every two hours.
Stick-type products or cushion-type products may not have enough blocking effect if applied only once, so it is recommended to apply them multiple times. After using sunscreen, you must wash it thoroughly.
When using sunscreen, you must be careful not to get it into your mouth or eyes. If you spray a spray-type product directly on your face, it can get into your eyes, nose, or mouth, so it is recommended to spray it on your hands and then apply it to your face. If it gets into your eyes, wash immediately and thoroughly with water.
When using it for the first time on a child, it is best to apply a small amount to the inside of the wrist to see if the skin reacts sensitively. Infants under 6 months of age have a thin skin layer and may be highly sensitive to external substances, so they should consult a specialist when using sunscreen. If you experience skin irritation, such as an allergy, while using sunscreen, you should immediately stop using it and consult a specialist.
Additionally, when purchasing sunscreen, you should check with the Korea Pharmaceutical Safety Agency to see if the product has been recognized as a ‘functional cosmetic’ by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, and it is best not to purchase products whose safety and effectiveness have not been confirmed, such as those purchased directly from overseas.
