Key points for using outdoor yoga vests for sun protection

When doing yoga outdoors, the key points for sun protection with a vest are as follows:

Key points for Using Sunscreen

Choose high-SPF sunscreen: When doing outdoor yoga, the skin is exposed to the sun for a long time and the intensity of ultraviolet rays is high. It is necessary to use sunscreen with a high enough SPF value (at least SPF50+) and a PA value of PA+++ to provide comprehensive protection. For instance, Armani Black Key Sunscreen is a light and thin cream with a refreshing skin feel. After forming a film, it feels dry and stress-free during exercise. Moreover, it contains sun-resistant ingredients and is suitable for outdoor yoga.

Reapply sunscreen in time: The sun protection effect of sunscreen will weaken over time. Even on cloudy days or after activities in water, it should be reapplied every two hours to ensure the sun protection effect.

Apply sunscreen correctly: Before practicing yoga, apply sunscreen evenly to exposed skin, especially the face, neck, arms and other areas that are prone to sun exposure. When applying, be gentle and avoid excessive pulling on the skin.

Key points for matching sun-protective clothing

Choose a sun-protective vest: Some sports vests have UV-blocking functions and are made of professional UV-protective fabrics, which can provide additional sun protection. For example, sun-protective clothing with a UPF value can effectively block ultraviolet rays and protect the skin.

Pair it with other sun-protective clothing: In addition to sun-protective vests, you can also pair it with long-sleeved sportswear, sun-protective shawls, etc., to increase the sun-protective area. At the same time, choose light and breathable sun-protective clothing, which can not only effectively protect against the sun but also maintain comfort during yoga practice.

Wear sun protection accessories: Wear wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses and other sun protection accessories to further protect the scalp, eyes and facial skin. Wide-brimmed hats can not only provide shade but also keep the head cool and reduce the risk of heatstroke. Sunglasses should be chosen with UV400 protection to safeguard the eyes from ultraviolet rays.

Key points for choosing sun protection time

Avoid high-temperature periods: In summer, the sun is scorching. Try to avoid outdoor yoga practice during the period from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. when the sun is at its peak. Choose to practice in the early morning or late evening. During these two periods, the temperature is relatively low and the sunlight is gentle, which is more suitable for outdoor sports and can reduce the damage of ultraviolet rays to the skin.
