These days more than ever, due to global coronavirus pandemic, home isolation has been the lifestyle of many of us! But beyond this not at all normal panorama, there are some habits of self-care, skin and body that should not save us despite the conditional circumstances in which we are.
So, one of the typical questions that the vast majority of dermatologists in the world are facing today is this: should we use sunscreen even during our time at home ?! We need to know first that it is the UVA rays that make the skin “miserable”! Because they are long rays and can penetrate windows and consequently reach our skin. So it is necessary to use sunscreen with sunscreen even during the stay at home, experts say.
So it is necessary to use a cream, but which one should you choose?
Considering that inside the walls of the house there is also the “radiation” of blue light, which can generate free radicals that damage the skin causing stains and wrinkles, antioxidant formulations will be needed.
“Since there is not enough research on how to block blue light, I suggest using sunscreen that contains mineral blocking ingredients, such as zinc oxide, combined with an antioxidant serum that will protect you from UVA rays and also it can be useful for blocking blue light, ”says Dr. Joshua Zeichner from Mount Sinai Hospital in New York for The Cut. Why mineral cream? Because this type of cream protects us from the sun and creates a physical barrier on the epidermis that reflects all the light.
