Ukuvikelwa kwelanga

Izinguquko eziningi zesikhumba, njengomdlavuza wesikhumba, imibimbi, namabala amadala kubangelwa ukuchayeka elangeni. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi umonakalo odalwe yilanga uhlala unomphela.

Izinhlobo ezimbili zemisebe yelanga engalimaza isikhumba i-ultraviolet A (UVA) ne-ultraviolet B (UVB). I-UVA ithinta izingqimba ezijulile zesikhumba. I-UVB ilimaza izingqimba ezingaphandle kwesikhumba futhi ibangele ukushiswa yilanga.

Indlela engcono yokwehlisa ubungozi bokushintshwa kwesikhumba ukuvikela isikhumba sakho elangeni. Lokhu kufaka phakathi ukusebenzisa i-sunscreen nezinye izindlela zokuzivikela.

• Gwema ukuvezwa yilanga, ikakhulukazi kusukela ngo-10 ekuseni kuya ku-4 ntambama. lapho imisebe ye-UV iqine kakhulu.
• Khumbula ukuthi lapho ukuphakama kuphakama, isikhumba sakho siyashesha ukushiswa yilanga. Ukuqala kwehlobo kulapho imisebe ye-UV ingadala umonakalo omkhulu wesikhumba.
• Sebenzisa ukuvikelwa kwelanga, noma ngezinsuku ezinamafu. Amafu kanye nenkungu akukuvikeli elangeni.
• Gwema izindawo ezibonisa ukukhanya, njengamanzi, isihlabathi, ukhonkolo, iqhwa nezindawo ezipendwe mhlophe.
• UNGAYisebenzisi amalambu elanga nemibhede yokushuka (ama-salon). Ukuchitha imizuzu engu-15 kuya kwengu-20 endaweni yokucwala ukhuni kuyingozi njengosuku oluchithwa elangeni.

Abantu abadala nezingane kufanele bagqoke izingubo zokuvikela isikhumba elangeni. Lokhu kungaphezu kokufaka i-sunscreen. Iziphakamiso zezingubo zifaka:

• Amahembe enemikhono emide namabhulukwe amade. Bheka izindwangu ezikhululekile, ezingabiyelwe, ezilukiwe. Lapho uluka luqina, ingubo ivikela ngokwengeziwe.
• Isigqoko esinomphetho obanzi ongasitha ubuso bakho bonke kusuka elangeni. Isigqoko se-baseball noma i-visor ayizivikeli izindlebe noma izinhlangothi zobuso.
• Izingubo ezikhethekile ezivikela isikhumba ngokumunca imisebe ye-UV.
• Izibuko zelanga ezivimba imisebe ye-UVA ne-UVB, kunoma ngubani ongaphezu kweminyaka yobudala engu-1.

Kubalulekile ukuthi ungathembeli esikrinini selanga kuphela ekuvikeleni ilanga. Ukugqoka i-sunscreen nakho akusona isizathu sokuchitha isikhathi esiningi elangeni.

Ama-sunscreen amahle kakhulu ongawakhetha afaka:

• Ama-sunscreen avimba i-UVA ne-UVB. Le mikhiqizo ibhalwe njengobubanzi obubanzi.
• Isikrini selanga esibhalwe ukuthi SPF 30 noma ngaphezulu. I-SPF imele ukuvikelwa kwelanga. Le nombolo ikhombisa ukuthi umkhiqizo usivikela kanjani kahle isikhumba ekulimaleni kwe-UVB.
• Lokho okungamelana namanzi, noma ngabe imisebenzi yakho ingafaki ukubhukuda. Lolu hlobo lwe-sunscreen luhlala esikhunjeni sakho isikhathi eside lapho isikhumba sakho simanzi.

Gwema imikhiqizo ehlanganisa i-sunscreen nokuxosha izinambuzane. Isikrini selanga sidinga ukuphinda sisetshenziswe kaningi. Ukuxoshwa kwezinambuzane ezisetshenziswa kaningi kungaba yingozi.

Uma isikhumba sakho sizwela kumakhemikhali emikhiqizweni yesikrini selanga, khetha isikhuseli selanga samaminerali njenge-zinc oxide noma i-titanium dioxide.

Imikhiqizo engabizi kakhulu enezithako ezifanayo iyasebenza kanye naleyo ebizayo.

Lapho ufaka i-sunscreen:

• Yigqoke nsuku zonke lapho uphumela ngaphandle, noma isikhashana.
• Faka imizuzu engama-30 ngaphambi kokuya ngaphandle ukuthola imiphumela emihle. Lokhu kuvumela isikhathi ukuthi isivikelo selanga singene esikhunjeni sakho.
• Khumbula ukusebenzisa i-sunscreen ebusika.
• Faka inani elikhulu kuzo zonke izindawo eziveziwe. Lokhu kufaka ubuso bakho, impumulo, izindlebe, namahlombe. Ungakhohlwa izinyawo zakho.
• Landela imiyalo yephakheji emayelana nokuthi uphinde ufake isicelo kaningi kangakanani. Lokhu kuvame okungenani njalo emahoreni ama-2.
• Phinda ufake isicelo njalo ngemuva kokubhukuda noma ukujuluka.
• Sebenzisa i-lip balm ene-sunscreen.

Ngesikhathi ziselangeni, izingane kufanele zimbozwe kahle ngezingubo, izibuko zelanga nezigqoko. Izingane kufanele zigcinwe zingangeni elangeni ngezikhathi eziphakeme kakhulu zokukhanya kwelanga.

Ama-sunscreen aphephile ezinganeni ezisacathula nasezinganeni. Sebenzisa imikhiqizo equkethe i-zinc ne-titanium, njengoba iqukethe amakhemikhali ambalwa angacasula isikhumba esincane.

UNGAYisebenzisi i-sunscreen ezinganeni ezingaphansi kwezinyanga eziyisithupha ngaphandle kokukhuluma nodokotela wakho noma udokotela wezingane kuqala.
