How to protect your skin on the plateau

The direct cause of skin damage and skin aging is sunlight exposure, especially ultraviolet rays in the sun. Tibet is located on a plateau, with high altitude, thin air, dry and dusty air, and strong ultraviolet rays. Such an environment is very detrimental to the skin, especially women's skin. If you don’t want to sacrifice your skin when traveling to the plateau, a sun hat, sunscreen and lip balm are essential. However, the preparation of skin care products requires knowledge. If the sun hat is too tight, prickly heat may easily develop on the forehead; the sun protection factor of sunscreen should be greater than 15; and the oiliness of lipstick should be moderate. Skin care products can be purchased in Lhasa. In addition to using skin care products properly, eating more fruits and vegetables and drinking more water are also good ways to protect your skin. In addition, on the plateau, it is best to wash your face before going to bed at night if possible, but it is best not to wash your face after getting up in the morning. If you have outdoor activities for more than ten consecutive days and there are no good sanitary facilities, it is best not to wash your face. When women apply sunscreen on the plateau, it is best to apply it on their cheeks and ears.
