The sun beats down mercilessly, with temperatures soaring above 40 degrees. Even sitting in a car can feel unbearable. This raises the question: is it necessary to wear sunscreen? According to a 29-year-old man from Hanoi, the answer is yes.
The intense heat and harmful UV rays can cause fatigue and discomfort, with the heat being absorbed by fabrics and even affecting you inside a car with closed windows during long trips or hot rush hours. Car windows may not fully block UVA and UVB rays, so it is advisable to take protective measures like using sunscreen.
To protect your skin, it is recommended to cover exposed areas such as the face, neck, and parts that come in contact with the steering wheel. Choosing sun-protective clothing, like long-sleeved jackets and gloves, can shield your skin from sunlight. Fabrics with high coverage, tight weaves, and darker colors such as denim or cotton can help prevent UV damage, soothe the skin, and reduce irritation.
Wearing a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and using sunscreen with SPF 30-50 can provide additional protection. It is also important to stay hydrated, avoid prolonged sun exposure
