Basic information about UV rays in spring

Difference Between UVA and UVB

There are two main types of UV rays: UVA and UVB . Each type has different effects on the skin. UVA penetrates deep into the skin, down to the dermis layer. This type of UV destroys the fibroblasts that support the firmness and elasticity of the skin, causing "photoaging" such as age spots, wrinkles, and sagging skin. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can accelerate skin aging.

On the other hand, UVB affects the surface of the skin, that is, the epidermis. This ultraviolet light is the main cause of "sunburn" that makes the skin red and sting. UVB is also involved in the development of age spots and freckles. Although the amount of UVB is less than that of UVA, the damage cannot be ignored.

Tip : UVA rays cause deep damage to the skin, while UVB rays affect the surface of the skin. Both types of UV rays require careful protection in the spring.

Characteristics of UV rays in spring

Changes in UV levels from winter to spring

In spring, the amount of UV rays increases dramatically compared to winter. In particular, from March to May, the amount of UV rays can be as strong as in mid-summer. During this time, the skin is weakened by the dryness and cold of winter, making it more susceptible to the effects of UV rays. In spring, it is important to take a fresh look at the UV protection measures that you may have neglected during the winter.

Trivia : In spring, UV rays reach the earth's surface even on cloudy days, so it's important to take precautions on cloudy days as well as sunny days.

The effects of UV rays specific to spring (causing skin aging and blemishes)

Spring UV rays have various effects on the skin. UVA rays in particular penetrate deep into the skin and destroy collagen and elastin. As a result, the skin loses elasticity and wrinkles and sagging become more noticeable. UVB rays also damage the surface of the skin, causing spots and freckles.

Continued exposure to UV rays in spring will accelerate skin aging. Furthermore, damage caused by UV rays accumulates, so it is important to take measures from a young age. Use sunscreen and foundation with UV protection to protect your skin.

Caution : Spring UV rays not only accelerate skin aging, but can also cause future skin problems. Early prevention is the key to maintaining beautiful skin.

SPF and PA Standards

The difference between SPF and PA and how to choose

When choosing a foundation, the SPF and PA values ​​are important indicators. SPF indicates the effectiveness of protection against UV-B, which affects the surface of the skin and causes sunburn and blemishes. On the other hand, PA indicates the effectiveness of protection against UV-A, which penetrates deep into the skin and causes photoaging such as wrinkles and sagging.

Point : The higher the SPF number, the better the UV-B protection, and the more "+" marks there are in the PA, the better the UV-A protection.

In terms of choosing a foundation, it is recommended to choose one with an SPF of around 30 and PA++ or higher for everyday use. These numbers are sufficient to protect your skin from everyday UV rays.

A guideline for suitable values ​​for daily use

For everyday use, light UV protection is required. For example, when going out to work or shopping, a foundation with SPF 30-35 and PA++-+++ is ideal. These numbers provide strong protection from UV rays without putting a strain on the skin.

Tip : If you are going to be outside for long periods of time or doing outdoor activities, it is best to choose a product with high UV protection such as SPF50 or PA++++.

Points to consider when selecting ingredients

Difference between UV absorbers and UV scattering agents

Foundations contain two types of UV protection ingredients: UV absorbers and UV scattering agents. UV absorbers protect the skin by absorbing UV rays and converting them into heat energy. On the other hand, UV scattering agents prevent the effects of UV rays on the skin by reflecting and scattering them.

Key point : UV absorbers are characterized by their light feel, while UV scattering agents are said to be gentle on sensitive skin.

The choice of which product to use will depend on your skin type and preference. For those with sensitive skin, we recommend products that contain UV scattering agents.

How to choose products that contain skin-friendly ingredients

To protect yourself from UV rays in spring, a foundation that contains ingredients that are gentle on the skin is the best choice. For example, products that contain moisturizing and antioxidant ingredients will reduce dryness and damage caused by UV rays. Also, choosing a product with less alcohol and fragrance will reduce irritation to the skin.

Tip : Check the ingredients list to see if it contains moisturizing and antioxidant ingredients like "hyaluronic acid" and "vitamin E."

How to choose the right type for your skin

Moisturizing foundation for dry skin

For those with dry skin, we recommend a foundation that is rich in moisturizing ingredients. For example, products containing hyaluronic acid and ceramides help retain moisture in the skin and prevent dryness. The UV rays of spring can easily dry out the skin, so by choosing a foundation with high moisturizing effects, you can keep your skin moisturized.

Recommendation : Funny Elves' Long-Wear Air Cushion Foundation contains moisturizing ingredients specifically designed for dry skin.

Sebum control foundation for oily skin

For those with oily skin, foundations with sebum control properties are suitable. Products that contain sebum-absorbing powders and matte-finishing ingredients will reduce shine and prevent your makeup from coming off. You can prevent your skin from feeling sticky while also protecting your skin from the UV rays of spring.

Tip : When choosing a foundation for oily skin, look out for keywords like "sebum-absorbing" and "matte finish."
