Hats and sunglasses for physical UV protection when going out

While sunscreen is the foundation of skincare, chemical protection alone has its limitations. It is essential to combine it with physical protection, such as using hats and sunglasses, especially during times when the UV index is high. A wide-brimmed hat protects not only the entire face but also the scalp and behind the ears, areas where sunscreen is often missed.

Furthermore, since the skin around the eyes is very thin and ages most rapidly, you must wear sunglasses with UV protection to directly prevent photoaging. This is highly effective not only for preventing freckles and blemishes but also for protecting your eyesight and preventing wrinkles around the eyes. The habit of adding an extra layer of physical barrier on top of sunscreen will dramatically slow down the rate of skin aging.
