Experts are emphasizing the importance of using sunscreens.
According to foreign media such as the Daily Mail, a TikTok video of the Austin Skin Clinic in Texas has more than 2.5 million views, making headlines.
The video shows a stark contrast between the man's arms exposed to the sun for 70 years and the skin condition of his legs, which were always covered with pants.
The man in the released video is known to have worked outdoors all his life, and has never used sunscreen.
As a result, his arms are dark brown, deeply wrinkled and full of age spots, but his legs, which were covered in trousers, remain close to white and soft.
In response, a foot specialist in L.A. said on his social media, `This video is a strong reminder of the need for sunscreen.' The man did not wear sunscreen on his arms and hands, but his legs were protected by wearing pants every day. The difference is significant not only in skin aging but also in skin cancer risk, he warned.
UV rays are invisible rays contained in sunlight, and moderate exposure is conducive to vitamin D synthesis, but excessive exposure can seriously affect health, including sunburn, skin aging, skin cancer, and cataracts.
It is recommended to apply sunscreen that acts as a skin 'protective barrier' 30 minutes before going out and apply it every 2-3 hours. PA++, SPF25~30 or higher are sufficient for simple outdoor activities. Disposable use is usually enough to apply only one or two fingers when applying only the face. It is also necessary to wear sunglasses and hats and wear Yangsan. Also, it's 11 a.m. when UV rays are strongIt's better to refrain from going out at 3 p.m.
