Do sunscreens in colder countries offer better or less protection than those in Thailand?
I've seen many friends and patients who mistakenly believe that cold climates like Korea and Japan don't get as much sun. In reality, the UV levels are just as high as anywhere else in the world, including Thailand. Anyone who's been to Korea in the summer will understand how hot it gets. In some months, the sun is so intense that the temperature is even higher than in Thailand. The doctor said that choosing the right sunscreen based on the season and lifestyle is the best approach.
When choosing sunscreen, the most important thing is to look at the protection factor (SPF). If the patient chooses a product that... SPF50+ and PA++++ (or Broad spectrum (For sunscreens in America/Europe) this means protection against all types of radiation. Provides complete protection against UVA and UVB rays. And it has the necessary features. Water and sweat resistant It can effectively protect delicate skin from the scorching Thai sun, just as effectively as sunscreens produced domestically.
But above all, it is... Choosing the right product based on the patient's activities and skin condition. And last but not least, Correct usage Yes, the doctor emphasized that the patient must... Apply an appropriate amount (about two fingertip-sized amounts for the face and neck). Reapply every 2-4 hours. Especially if the patient is outdoors for long periods or sweats excessively, no matter how great the sunscreen is, if it's not applied correctly or reapplied, it may not provide complete protection. Please be confident and choose the right sunscreen for your skin!
