People are paying more attention to their personal image. Skincare is no longer only for women. Men's grooming is now become an important part in cosmetics. Summer has already come, many people like to go to the beach to swim, surf or even have a sunbathing. Though the sun is beneficial in order for the human body to get its daily dose of vitamin D, unprotected excessive sunlight can cause extreme damage to the skin, or even worse, cancer.

UV radiation and skin cancer

We all know that sunscreen is a basic and must for us to protect our skin from sunlight. But we may feel confused when choosing the right one for ourselves, especially when salesperson is giving a kind introduction to every sunscreen product and talking about "UVA" or "UVB". So, what is UVA/UVB?
The most common reason of skin cancer is the exposure to the ultraviolet(UV) radiation. UV radiation is present in sunlight constituting about 10% of the total light output of the Sun.(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet) Based on whether it can pass through glass or not, UV radiation can be divided into two types, Ultraviolet A (UVA) & Ultraviolet B (UVB).

Tips for choosing the RIGHT sunscreen?

It is important to protect your skin from both UVA and UVB radiation. There are two types of sunscreen, physical sunscreens or chemical sunscreens. Both of them can help to block sunlight, but in different ways. Physical sunscreen will reflect the sunlight, while chemical sunscreen will absorb the UV light. Chemical sunscreen won't damage our skin when absorbing the UV light, but we still recommend physical sunscreen to children and pregnant women.Both of them have their own advantages, so many products are not only block sunlight in one way. Physical & Chemical combination sunscreen are common in use in nowadays.

Another word that you should know about about sunscreen is SPF(sun protection factor). It measures the fraction of sunburn-producing UV rays that reach the skin, so it's used to rate and label sunscreens. For example, "SPF 15" means that 1/15 of the burning radiation reaches the skin through the recommended thickness of sunscreen. But does that mean, the higher the number is, the better the sunscreen is? The fact is, the sunscreen you choose should at least 15. It's better to choose the most suitable SPF in consideration of your own situation.

Recommended SPF for different people

 There are other important factors that you need to consider when choosing sunscreen. For example, if it's waterproof? Does it smell good? If you have oily skin or are prone to acne, you need to be careful and choose water-based sunscreen, it could be spray or lotion instead of cream.

How to track my Japan Post package?

Personally, I prefer either physical sunscreen or the physical & chemical combination sunscreen. The truth is, Japanese sunscreen does protect my skin well and it works long enough even sometimes I forgot to reapply. It's impossible fly to Japan very often, and those sunscreen in my country is much more expensive than in Japan. So I've tried cross-border online shopping and ask friends in Japan to send it to me through Japan Post a lot.
However, every time I want to check where's my package, I need to use my computer to open the website, which is very inconvenient. Moreover, the internet is so slow so I need to wait for a while to get the information. This problem hasn't been solved until I find a great tool to track my Japan Post package. Trackingmore, a Japan Post Tracking tool, which perfectly solve my problem.
The design is so clean and easy to use. There are also cute icon like
it means the package is ready for shipping
or
it means the package is delivered
which highlight the important information to attract your notice. For more information about the meaning of each icon, you can refer to "A newly added function for tracking status".
The sun is so hot and our skin is so precious. It's time to use sunscreen to protect us from the harm of sunlight. One more thing, make sure you have applied enough sunscreen, because ENOUGH is the only way that ensures your skin is well-protected.
