British "hot"! I went out for an hour and my face was sunburned into a steamed stuffed bun. What harm does ultraviolet light do to your skin?
Recently, a British woman shared a video in the British media, which attracted a lot of hits after it was released. The British woman was still smiling when she sent the short video, but according to her, it was not funny at all. The woman originally just wanted to go out to bask in the sun and bathe in the sun. Unexpectedly, her face suddenly became red and swollen in just one hour. This really makes everyone uncomfortable. Does her face look like? Flour buns? There is a feeling of being baked. Therefore, too strong ultraviolet rays do great harm to the skin, and the relevant British media have also warned people to stay indoors in hot weather, minimize going out and avoid taking public transport.

Damage of ultraviolet rays to skin in hot weather.

Britain has been like a steamer recently. The continuous high temperature is unbearable for many people. The highest temperature in some parts of Britain reached 42 degrees Celsius, so the Meteorological Bureau issued a high-temperature red warning. Many local roads began to melt under high temperature conditions. It is no exaggeration to say that every time people walk on it, it is like walking in water. If they stand still, they will sink their feet. The road is like this, not to mention our skin. Ultraviolet rays with different wavelengths have different degrees of damage to the skin. Generally, ultraviolet rays are strongest in summer, but they need sun protection all year round. Generally, ultraviolet rays will first act on the surface of the skin, making the skin pigment deeper and thicker, and the skin will be black for a short time. Strong ultraviolet rays will penetrate the dermis and act on the elastic fibers and other tissues of the dermis, which will change the collagen of the dermis and cause inflammation such as skin redness and swelling in a short time. If you work outdoors for a long time and don't know how to protect yourself from the sun, you will also get skin cancer.

How to prevent sun exposure when ultraviolet rays are too strong?

If the ultraviolet rays are strong, the best way is to reduce the chances of going out. If you have to go out and do important work, don't expose your skin directly to the sun. Apply sunscreen products half an hour before going out, and be careful not to stay outdoors for too long.
