Ultraviolet Rays That Cause Melasma
Why are resorts more dangerous than cities?
In July and August, people head to the sea or valleys to escape the summer heat, a time when ultraviolet rays are at their strongest.
This is the season when wrinkles and pigmentation become more active, so you must protect your skin right now!
We reveal the secret to perfectly protecting your skin during vacation season!!

Now, when summer ultraviolet rays are strong,
is this the golden time to protect your skin?
Among dermatology doctors, this is said to be September, the “month of darkness,” when the skin becomes darker.
In July and August, many people enjoy their vacations while being exposed to intense ultraviolet rays.
Because of strong ultraviolet rays, the skin becomes damaged, and wrinkles and pigmentation caused by collagen degeneration become more active.
This is the time when wrinkles and pigmentation rise, making the face look dull and darker.
Treatment does not get resolved quickly!
Wrinkles and melasma that appear in summer can take anywhere from a few months to as long as over a year to go away.
You must protect your skin right now!

A major operation to protect the skin in summer!
We checked the skin age of Ms. Bae Yeon-jeong and Mr. Ahn Moon-hyeon to see whether they are protecting their skin from summer ultraviolet rays.



Ms. Bae Yeon-jeong has redness and dry skin.
The biggest problem with dry skin is wrinkles!
Wrinkles are a problem, but pores can also become enlarged.
You need a certain amount of moisture to maintain firm skin with elasticity and without wrinkles.

Ms. Bae Yeon-jeong said she goes to saunas often.
Going to a sauna does not make your skin better. On the contrary, it can cause moisture to evaporate from the skin!
If you do go to a sauna, you should apply moisturizer before the moisture disappears.
You should apply it while the skin is still damp so the moisturizer can retain that moisture and absorb it.
