The sun is strong in summer
Ultraviolet rays can easily damage the skin
Therefore, it is important to pay extra attention to sun protection
Then go out in the summer
What color clothes are best worn for sun protection?
The answer is red!
At noon on July 6, on the streets of Nanjing, the reporter saw that everyone generally did a good job of sunscreen. Sun-protective clothing, sun-protective hats, sun umbrellas, sleeve guards...... Many people invariably choose light-colored clothes.
The reporter asked the public which color of clothing they thought was the most sunscreen, and everyone unanimously replied: light color. However, the opposite is true, dark clothes provide better sun protection.
The doctor said that under the same fabric, the darker the color, the better the sunscreen effect. Red is better than black, and black is better than orange.
This is because dark-colored clothes can absorb a lot of ultraviolet rays in the sun, which is suitable for long-term outdoor activities, and light-colored clothes are indeed cooler because they receive relatively little heat radiation, but they do not have much effect on ultraviolet rays and are not suitable for long-term exposure to the sun.
The choice of sunscreen fabrics is also particular. Generally speaking, heavy, tightly woven fabrics such as denim and corduroy provide the best sun protection, but this fabric is certainly not suitable for wearing in the summer.
The doctor further explained that at present, the main material of sunscreen clothing is chemical fiber composition, and polyester is the main component of chemical fiber, and the sunscreen effect of polyester is slightly better than nylon.
Hard and soft! The scalp should also pay attention to sun protection
There are also a few sunscreen knowledge points to remind that loose clothes are better than close-fitting sun protection. Secondly, everyone will wear long sleeves when protecting from the sun, and even cover their faces with veils and masks, but they ignore the head and expose the entire scalp to the sun. Doctors remind that the scalp is delicate and should also pay attention to sun protection.
Scalp sunscreen is divided into "soft sunscreen" and "hard sunscreen": soft sunscreen mainly uses a spray of scalp sunscreen, but the disadvantage is that every time you use it, you have to wash your hair every time. Hard sunscreen is still what we usually say about wearing a hat and an umbrella, as well as wearing the kind of sunscreen clothing with a hood.
