SUNBURN vs SUNTAN | Skincare Knowledge

Hello my beauties !

Apa beza sunburn dengan sun tan ?

Our skin is like an organ that protects our body from harmful agents and function dia is as barrier. 

Kita ada 3 main types of skin layers. Kita ada :

Tapi sebenarnya kita ada banyak lagi layers of skin.

Macam mana sunlight penetrates the skin ?

Sunlight yang sampai dekat bumi ni ada 3 jenis. They are Infrared Rays, Visible Light and UV (ultraviolet rays). UV inilah penyebab SUNBURNS and SUNTANS.

UV pulak ada banyak jenis :

UVA rays (315 to 400 nm) also called as ‘black light’ and causes sun tanning.

UVB rays (280 to 315 nm) that cause sun burn.

UVC rays (100 to 280 nm) that never reach us.

Most of the time we get affected dengan UVA, which selalu present dekat2 dengan pantai and kawasan yang terlalu exposed dengan sun exposure.

Bukan tu je, UVB ni pun problem jugak. Dia cause problem macam , skin cancer, wrinkles dan lain2.

So macam mana pulak awak kena suntan ?

So bila awak kena exposed dengan sunlight, ada satu special skin (melanocytes) dia produce melanin.UV radiations stimulate the production of melanin, which absorbs UV radiations.

So tu lah macam mana suntan terjadi dekat kulit awak. Ada orang cepat produce melanin, ada yang ambil masa dalam sehari dua or more. Sebab tu ada orang cepat dapat suntan, and ada lambat sikit.

Bottom line, suntan is about developing brown colour.

Tapi sunburn tu apa ?

Bila awak terlalu exposed dengan sunlight, awak punya skin cells are likely to get killed. Awak punya body tu akan respond to by circulating more blood dekat bahagian capillaries and affected areas. Sebab tu muka merah2 tangan merah and lain2.

Sebenarnya suntan and sunburn ni is bad for skin sebab dia carry risk of skin cancer tu. So taka da such thing called ‘healthy tanning’ faham ?

“A burn is nothing more than the skin’s response to DNA damage of the skin cells,” says Dan Wasserman, MD, a dermatologist in Naples, Florida.

Things you have to alert bila nak pergi tempat yang terlalu exposed dengan sunlight.

1.   Pakai sunscreen (Broad spectrum)

2.   Jangan pakai chemical exfoliant (AHA)

3.   Keluar masa time tak terlalu panas terik

4.   Pakai something yang boleh protect your head and eyes. (Hat)

Sunscreen :

1.   Apply 20 minutes sebelum nak keluar. Bukan nak keluar baru apply.

2.   Apply dekat SEMUA tempat including your hair line for those yang tak pakai tudung.

3.   Reapply after 2 hours kalau awak betul2 exposed.
