Burmese people often apply yellow powder on their faces

The climate in Myanmar is hot all year round, and the hot sunlight can easily burn the skin. People often put yellow powder on their faces. The yellow powder is made from the neem tree, a natural sunscreen unique to Burma, pronounced "Tenaka" in Burmese, which translates to "cool powder" in Chinese. This tree has the same fragrant smell as sandalwood and camphor. The Burmese believe that the powder ground from the branches of the neem tree is not only fragrant and refreshing, but also protects against ultraviolet rays and has the effect of cooling, beauty and mosquitoes.

Sun protection regardless of season and age

Sun protection is a basic daily maintenance work, because the aging of the skin is 100% related to UV aggression, sunlight will cause photoaging, making the skin produce dark spots freckles! Sunscreen does not distinguish between seasons and ages, and can be used daily to truly achieve the purpose of sun protection. The higher the SPF, the better the protection. In fact, the larger the SPF value, the worse its permeability, which will prevent the normal secretion and breathing of the skin, resulting in blocked pores, the skin will also feel greasy and uncomfortable.

Sunscreen products should be used at the right time

Sunscreen can't be used before applying makeup, nor can you apply sunscreen just before going out. Sunscreen and the general skin care products, it takes a certain amount of time to be absorbed by the skin, so 10 to 20 minutes before going out should be coated with sunscreen. The method of application should be appropriate: take an appropriate amount in between the fingers or palm, gently haloed in the parts that need sunscreen pat open, pat even. Sunscreen molecules are very large, do not rub, more massage hard to squeeze it into the pores, it is easy to "rub mud", will also block the pores, but reduce the effectiveness of the sunscreen.

The higher the sunscreen index the more oil

More and more people like the pure physical sunscreen sunscreen products, because they do not need to be absorbed by the skin, only to form a "protective film" on the surface of the skin to reflect UV rays, thus not stimulating the skin, sensitive skin can be safely used. But the problem is that the physical sunscreen agent titanium dioxide, zinc oxide are only soluble in oil powder, so the more the amount, the higher the sunscreen index, the more oily the product will be. Some brands have come up with a solution: the physical sunscreen agent mixed in a muddy solvent, before using "click click click" to shake well, very lubricated when applied, a while solvent evaporated, the skin surface is only a layer of sunscreen powder mist, completely fresh and not oily.

Sunscreen is not waterproof

Even if it is a waterproof sunscreen, the exact meaning is only "water-resistant", can be maintained to a certain extent after the efficacy of water stability, but in a sweat, after sweating, or should be timely replenishment cream.
