JAKARTA - Most people only use sunscreen when doing activities in the sun. However, that's not enough. In fact, the skin can be exposed to various types of dangerous light, even when you are home.

Dr. Pankaj Chaturvedi, Director and Head of Dermatologist, MedLinks Group of Clinics, told the India Times, Thursday, July 10, saying, "I always recommend the use of sunscreen every day, either traveling or not. There are two reasons for that. First, if you use sunscreen regularly, it will become a habit and you don't forget to use it even though you have to travel randomly. Second, exposure to blue rays and visible light in the room is also very high lately, and people are also working in front of the LED screen which also causes skin damage. Therefore, it is mandatory to use sunscreen indoors too."

Laptops, cell phones, and television screens emit blue light, which damages the skin. This can cause dull skin, sunburnt, and premature aging. In addition, lights with bright light that are used at home today can affect your skin, especially if you already have pigmentation problems.

Many people do not realize that the skin is damaged even while inside the house. The light we use today is very bright, and the time spent in front of the screen is increasing every day.

"The laptop and computer screen emit blue light, and this light is known to damage the skin. Currently, the lights inside the house are very bright. In addition, if a person has pigmentation conditions, they must use sunscreen because in this case, this type of light can also cause damage," explained Dr. Pankaj Chaturvedi.

That is, people who are sensitive to light or have skin problems should be more careful. Even if you are not outdoors, the use of sunscreen once a day can help protect the skin from slow but definite damage.

Sunscreen is not only for those who always travel. Even school children who spend time indoors with screens and light need protection. Skin damage can occur slowly and without realizing it.

Sunscreens are mandatory and even for school children are now available sunscreen, and sunscreen is needed. Not only for people who always go out to sell or work in the field. But also for people who are indoors and work in front of computers, blu-rays, all of them damage skin, fine wrinkles, and premature aging, all caused by ultraviolet light effects, "explained Dr. Koushik Lahiri, consultant dermatologist at the Wizderm Skin and Hair Clinic in Kolkata.

In addition, Dr. Borni also explained that look for sunscreen with an SPF between 15 and 30. He also reminded that the sunscreen defense only lasts up to three hours, so it is necessary to re-implement it every three hours.

Sunscreen should be part of a daily routine just like brushing teeth. Apply once if you are indoors and apply it back every three hours if you go in and out of the room or spend more time outdoors.

Taking advantage of the use of sunscreen helps you stay ready to face sudden plans and keep your skin protected all the time. Whether you work at a desk, take online classes, or just relax at home. The skin still needs maintenance. Sunscreen is not only specifically used for bright but good days to use every day.
