“Figure first, skin second,” goes the old saying, and it still holds true today. So, how do you keep your skin youthful and healthy under the scorching tropical sun? The secret lies in using sunscreen correctly, especially hybrid sunscreen. But how do you use hybrid sunscreen effectively? Let’s explore with HOC LAM!
What is Hybrid Sunscreen?
Hybrid sunscreen might sound fancy, but it’s actually quite familiar. It’s a type of sunscreen that combines the advantages of both physical and chemical sunscreens. Physical sunscreens act like a “shield,” reflecting UV rays. Chemical sunscreens, on the other hand, absorb UV rays and convert them into heat that is released from the skin. This combination creates an optimal skin protection “barrier,” both reflecting and absorbing UV rays, helping to prevent dark spots, skin aging, and skin cancer. Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan, a dermatologist at the National Hospital of Dermatology and Venereology, in her book “Beautiful and Healthy Skincare,” also affirms that hybrid sunscreen is an ideal choice for sensitive skin.
How to Use Hybrid Sunscreen Effectively
So, how do you use hybrid sunscreen to achieve the best results? Don’t worry, HOC LAM will guide you step-by-step:
Step 1: Cleanse Your Skin
Before applying sunscreen, cleanse your face with a facial cleanser and toner. This helps the sunscreen absorb into the skin better.
Step 2: Apply an Adequate Amount
Take an adequate amount of sunscreen, about two finger-lengths, and apply it evenly to your face and neck. Don’t skimp on sunscreen! If you apply too thinly, the sun protection effect will be significantly reduced.
Step 3: Apply Sunscreen 20 Minutes Before Sun Exposure
Apply sunscreen about 20 minutes before going out in the sun to give it time to absorb and create an effective protective layer. As the saying goes, “prevention is better than cure,” applying sunscreen before going outside is just like that.
Step 4: Reapply Every 2 Hours
If you are active outdoors a lot, reapply sunscreen every 2 hours to maintain effective skin protection. Especially after swimming or sweating a lot, you should also reapply sunscreen immediately.
Important Notes When Using Hybrid Sunscreen
In addition to knowing how to use it, you also need to note a few things to use hybrid sunscreen effectively and safely:
- Choose a sunscreen with an SPF level appropriate for your needs and skin type.
- Store sunscreen in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight.
- Check the expiration date before use.
According to Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tran Van Minh, a dermatologist at Hanoi Medical University, choosing a sunscreen suitable for your skin type is very important. If you have sensitive skin, you should choose a sunscreen that is fragrance-free and alcohol-free.
Spirituality and Skincare
Vietnamese people often have the saying “teeth and hair are the root of a person.” Skincare is also part of maintaining beauty, showing respect for oneself. Healthy, beautiful skin not only brings confidence but also reflects balance and harmony in life.
