Do I need a special sunscreen for my eyes and lips?

My first answer to this question is yes. But before I get to that, I need you to think about another question: Can I apply sunscreen around my eyes? I believe that many people with good skincare habits will have noticed that if you apply sunscreen around your eyes or accidentally rub it into your eyes, it can irritate your eyes, especially if you have just applied sunscreen and there is still some residue on your hands, which makes rubbing it in and out of your eyes very uncomfortable. Sunscreen will sting the eyes of most of the ingredients are chemical sunscreen, will produce mucosal irritation, which is also related to individual sensitivity, the same ingredients, some people feel stronger, some people do not have a special feeling. This is why some products state to avoid the area around the eyes. Nonetheless, chemical sunscreens have their own unique advantages, such as good sun protection, light texture, no greasy feeling, not easy to clog pores, etc., very popular with consumers. But what about the skin around the eyes that also needs sun protection? First of all, try to find a sunscreen that does not irritate the skin around your eyes or a special sunscreen for the eye area. If your skin is very sensitive, you can choose a physical sunscreen, or instead of using sunscreen on the skin around your eyes, you can choose a sunshade. There are many sunscreens on the market today for use on the eyes and lips, is it necessary to choose them? Yes, because the skin around the eyes and lips also needs sun protection and sun protection is very important for these areas as well! In the past, there were no dedicated sunscreens for the eyes and lips because of concepts and processes. Regular sunscreens may not be applied around the eyes and lips because they can irritate the eyes or have a smell. Instead, dedicated sunscreens are formulated with the gentlest ingredients that are chosen to avoid stinging sensations in the eyes. What’s more, these sunscreens have been professionally tested and are safer than regular sunscreens (when applied to the eyes and lips). Tip: Regarding sun protection, many beauty seekers ask me if they need sun protection indoors. There are 3 types of ultraviolet rays in sunlight, long-wave ultraviolet (UVA), medium-wave ultraviolet (UVB) and short-wave ultraviolet (UVC). The longer the wavelength, the greater the penetrating ability. Under natural circumstances, short-wave ultraviolet (UVC) is filtered out before it can pass through the atmospheric ozone layer and cannot reach the earth’s surface. Mid-wave and long-wave are the ultraviolet components we need to protect against. UVB has a stronger energy and causes a sunburn reaction in the skin, but its penetration ability is not as strong, and the UVB in general sunlight can be blocked by the glass. UVA has a weaker energy, and prolonged exposure accelerates the aging of the skin and has a synergistic effect with UVB, but with a higher penetration ability of UVA. Driving people have experience, if the sun is very big, even if there is a glass block, the arm is still sunburned hot, and will even be red and tanned. This is because long-wave ultraviolet light can pass through the glass to shine on people, long enough, but also can cause damage, especially in hotter weather, the heat effect of visible light will aggravate the damage of ultraviolet light. So, although it’s safer indoors, if you want to sunbathe in front of a sunny window, you can’t do it for too long.
