For women, protecting their skin from UV rays has become common sense, just like makeup.

・Apply UV protection cream,

・Wear items that do not expose your skin,

・Wear a hat,

・Open your parasol...

Women who are taking various precautions are walking around the city.

UV protection should be perfect, but...

Why are there stains...

You can't go back to the past and start over just by lamenting, ``When I was younger...''

In fact, there are still things you can do now!

The surprising relationship between skin and eyes that most people don't know about

When UV rays enter through the eyes, the skin becomes darker = spots.

“No way!?”

Yes, it's true.

[Darkening of skin = spots] is caused by melanin.

When ultraviolet rays enter the eyes,

A command is sent to the brain saying, ``It's ultraviolet rays! Activate melanin!''

Even though the external measures on the skin should be perfect, melanin is activated from within without permission.

A major point in [UV protection] that many people do not know is ``protecting your eyes from ultraviolet rays.''

You can easily block UV rays by wearing UV-blocking glasses or sunglasses.

"I wear UV-blocking contacts, so it's okay."

Sorry, let's wear fancy glasses with UV protection!
