Can I wear a mask for sun protection?

Except for masks with special sun protection function, general masks have no sun protection function. Ordinary disposable non-woven mask can only block some dust and pollen, and cannot be used to block ultraviolet rays. You can buy a special anti-ultraviolet mask when you buy it.

If you want the mask to have a sunscreen effect, try to choose a thicker one when buying it. Sunscreen masks are clearly marked with ultraviolet protection, and those that are not marked are generally ordinary masks.

There are many kinds of masks in life, and the most basic function is dust prevention. When the air quality is poor, people will choose to wear some isolated PM2.5. After all, excessive PM2.5 inhalation will increase the risk of cancer.

Usually, the masks people wear are generally medical masks that block bacteria and dust. Wearing a mask when necessary can prevent bacteria from invading, especially in crowded places. People with poor resistance should also wear masks when they go to the hospital to prevent bacteria from invading. Pay attention to throw away the disposable mask in time after wearing it. Reusable masks should be cleaned in time after wearing, preferably once. When there are many bacteria, the mask should be disinfected more.

Sun protection in daily life depends not only on masks, but also on some sun protection products, and the sun protection effect in many aspects will be better.
