Already Maximum Protection Your Skin?



Ultraviolet (UV), which is part of the sun, in the long run proved to have adverse effects for the skin. Sunburn (sunburn), irritation, skin dull, dry, until the skin cancer, are some examples. However, we do to prevent the adverse effects of sunlight on the skin seems not maximized.


"There are still many people who assume all risks can be overcome by covering the entire body," said Vivi Tri Andari, Technical Management Manager of PT Unilever Indonesia, Tbk, when the talk show "SPF and the City" in Yogyakarta, some time ago.


Some of the most popular ways to do to prevent exposure to UV light into the skin is to use an umbrella, sheltering under a tree, or use a long shirt. However, "It can not block 100 percent of UV rays into the skin," he explained.


A. Umbrella
Umbrella glance it may help to protect you from the sun's heat. However, it was sheltering under umbrellas still can reflect UV rays from the trampled ground or sidewalk. Soil or sand was able to reflect 25 percent of UV rays into the skin through the bottom that is not protected. Meanwhile, the pavement can reflect as much as 45 percent of UV rays.


2. Water
When in the water, do not think that you are protected from UV exposure. "The water is still able to reflect UV rays to the skin for up to three percent," said Vivi. When swimming, UV rays can still penetrate to a depth of 9 meters.


3. Under the tree
The trees may be able to protect your head from the sun. However, just as the land and pavement, the grass was also able to reflect UV rays to the skin as much as 3 percent.


4. Clothing
When going out during the day, usually we will equip ourselves with clothing that covers all members of the body such as long pants or long sleeves. Successful? Not necessarily. "This shirt will absorb up to 60 percent of UV rays to the skin, so it covered the body with clothes it does not succeed," he said.


To overcome the negative effects of UV rays, the most appropriate way is to use sunscreen on all parts of the body. After that, complete with a leather protection on ways to skin a double protection.

Sinar ultraviolet (UV), yang merupakan bagian dari sinar matahari, dalam jangka panjang terbukti memiliki efek buruk bagi kulit. Kulit terbakar (sunburn), iritasi, kulit kusam, kering, sampai kanker kulit, adalah beberapa contohnya. Namun, yang kita lakukan untuk mencegah dampak buruk sinar matahari pada kulit tampaknya belum maksimal.
"Masih banyak orang yang menganggap semua risiko ini bisa diatasi dengan cara menutupi seluruh tubuh," ungkap Vivi Tri Andari, Technical Management Manager PT Unilever Indonesia, Tbk, saat talkshow "SPF and the City" di Yogyakarta, beberapa waktu lalu.
Beberapa cara yang paling populer dilakukan untuk menghambat paparan sinar UV ke dalam kulit adalah dengan menggunakan payung, berlindung di bawah pohon, atau menggunakan baju panjang. Namun, "Cara ini tidak bisa menghambat 100 persen sinar UV yang masuk ke dalam kulit," jelasnya.

1. Payung
Sekilas payung memang bisa membantu untuk melindungi Anda dari panas matahari. Namun, ternyata berlindung di bawah payung masih bisa memantulkan sinar UV dari tanah atau trotoar yang terinjak. Tanah atau pasir ternyata bisa memantulkan 25 persen sinar UV ke kulit melalui bagian bawah yang tak terlindung. Sementara itu, trotoar mampu memantulkan sinar UV sebanyak 45 persen.

2. Air
Ketika berada di dalam air, jangan berpikir bahwa Anda terhindar dari paparan sinar UV. "Air masih dapat memantulkan sinar UV ke kulit sampai tiga persen," tambah Vivi. Ketika berenang, sinar UV masih bisa menembus sampai kedalaman 9 meter.

3. Di bawah pohon
Rimbunnya pepohonan mungkin dapat melindungi bagian kepala Anda dari cahaya matahari. Namun, sama seperti tanah dan trotoar, rumput ternyata juga bisa memantulkan sinar UV sebanyak 3 persen ke kulit.

4. Pakaian
Ketika akan keluar rumah di siang hari, biasanya kita akan melengkapi diri dengan menggunakan pakaian yang menutupi seluruh anggota badan seperti celana panjang atau baju lengan panjang. Berhasil? Belum tentu. "Baju akan menyerap sinar UV sampai 60 persen ke kulit, sehingga menutupi tubuh dengan pakaian rasanya kurang berhasil," tukasnya.

Untuk mengatasi efek sinar UV yang negatif, cara yang paling tepat adalah dengan menggunakan krim tabir surya di seluruh bagian tubuh. Setelah itu, lengkapi perlindungan kulit dengan cara-cara di atas agar kulit mendapatkan perlindungan ganda.
