00:00Now, the heat is rising again.

00:02Experts advise to be careful and protect your skin

00:05to avoid sunburn and UV radiation.

00:08Here are the skin care tips from Bona Kino.

00:16The linemen work day and night.

00:19But Joseph says the heat is different now.

00:23It's not like before, ma'am.

00:25Now, the heat is more noticeable on the skin.

00:29This is the change in climate

00:31due to the release of greenhouse gases.

00:37Exposure to sunlight is dangerous

00:39according to dermatologists

00:41because the UV or ultraviolet rays of the sun

00:44can damage the skin and eyes.

00:46We don't have a very good ozone layer anymore

00:50to protect us from this UV.

00:52It's a big help to know the UV index

00:55that measures the UV radiation.

00:57The UV index varies in a day.

01:03And usually, it's highest between 12 to 4,

01:07or 12 to 2.

01:10So, yes, at noon time.

01:13When the UV index goes to the very high levels,

01:19or the extreme, which is 7 or 8 and up,

01:23that's when people are advised

01:25not to go out of their houses.

01:28Because it can lead to not only sun exposure,

01:32not only sunburn,

01:35but they can get dehydrated.

01:37You can have a heat stroke.

01:46So if the UV index is moderate to high

01:49and you need to go out,

01:51according to dermatologists,

01:53Sunscreen with an SPF 30 or higher

01:55is equivalent to one teaspoon

01:57on each side of the sun.

01:59Apply it every two hours.

02:01But even if the UV index is low,

02:04you can still get sunburn

02:06depending on the tolerance of the skin to UV rays.

02:09If you have fair skin,

02:10you'll get sunburn faster.

02:12And if you have darker skin,

02:14you'll get sunburn longer.

02:16And usually, the manifestation of that

02:19is when you set your day,

02:23If you experience sunburn,

02:25dermatologists advise you

02:27to bathe in cold water.

02:29And at the same time,

02:31don't just bathe every day,

02:33you can use a mild soap.

02:35To reduce sunburn or sunburn,

02:37apply cold compress

02:39or apply a cool skin moisturizer.

02:42If you really get sunburn,

02:44then you can put a hydrocortisone cream,

02:50which is an over-the-counter steroid.

02:52If you have a cucumber,

02:54if you have aloe,

02:56those are home remedies

02:58that you can apply to your skin

03:00because those are all cooling.

03:02Hydration is key too.

03:04Drink one to two liters of water every day

03:07and eat water-rich fruits.

03:09Wear clothes with light and fresh fabric

03:12to avoid sunburn.

03:14Wear changeable clothes when you sweat.

03:17Wash your hands thoroughly

03:19to avoid infection, bacteria, fungus, and virus.

03:22You can also use a cooling spray or mist,

03:24but be careful.

03:26Try to read that you don't have a lot of alcohol

03:29because it's the alcohol content

03:31that can also irritate.
