Do you ever apply sunscreen from head to toe and believe that you are fully shielded from sun damage? In actuality, it’s suggested that UV rays can affect us simply through exposure to our eyes. How does UV damage happen to the skin through our eyes? It’s because of the correlation between the brain and the eyes. When the eyes are exposed to UV rays, the brain perceives that the entire body has been exposed. This can lead to sunburn, spots, and freckles on the skin. Surprising, isn’t it? Additionally, while it’s not directly related to skin aging, eyelashes can get sunburnt too. More and more people have become aware of UV damage to their hair and skin, but eyelashes are also hairs, susceptible to UV damage causing thinning and weakening. The area around the eyes also has thin skin and is prone to damage from UV exposure. UV damage to the eye area causes problems like dryness and wrinkles, leaving one with an aged appearance. I suggest using parasols and wearing sunglasses and hats with UV protection to prevent direct UV exposure to the eyes. The amount of UV rays entering the eye will vary greatly depending on whether you put these measures into practice, which can contribute to preventing UV damage to the eyelashes and the area around the eyes. Take these steps to maintain beautiful eyes for a long time. ♡
