Summer is coming soon, and it’s getting hotter and hotter in Japan! People can try many kinds of outdoor activities in Japan, but many Japanese women are in big dilemma during summer. They want to enjoy summer, but they also worried about getting sunburn during summer. In Japan, many women prefer white skins to tanned skins, so you can see many UV protection goods at many stores during the summer. Maybe many non-Japanese people think that these are unique. Let’s take a look at some latest goods!

By the way, a sunburn / a tan in Japanese is 日焼け(ひやけ – hiyake).

First, let’s take a look at sunscreen in Japan.

In Japan, there are a wide range of sunscreen, from gel types(photo above) to lotion ones. It is also common to wear BB cream for protecting skins from the sun(photo above). If you are interested, you should first go to drugstores, and you’ll see sunscreen with many kinds of textures and find your favorite one!! (*You can buy these products on J-Fair.com. Click here!)

In Japan, there are many types of UV protection goods in addition to sunscreen.

These above are UV protection arm covers. Many people might think that women feel hotter with such things. However, these days, materials have been improved, so women feel cool on these arm covers!

In addition to arms, Japanese women try to protect their legs from getting a tan. You can see many UV protection leggings in Japan, and these days, there are a wide range of designs of leggings.

And one of the latest UV protection goods is a UV protection mask! (photo above) Many Japanese women wear sunscreen before going out, of course, but they are still worried about getting a tan. This mask might be surprising for not only non-Japanese people but also for Japanese men!（≧∇≦）
