Seluleka ukuthi ukuvikela ilanga kungenye yezindlela ezingcono kakhulu zokuvikela isikhumba sakho ekugugeni ngaphambi kwesikhathi futhi kufanele kube yindlela yakho yokuqala yokuzivikela ngaphambi kokuba sifinyelele imikhiqizo eqinile ye-skincare. Kodwa amakhasimende athi awawagqoki amafutha okuvikela ilanga ngenxa yokuthi anezinto ezithinta ukuphepha ezitholakala emikhiqizweni yokuvikela ilanga.
Uma ungaqiniseki, qhubeka funda ngomehluko phakathi kokhilimu welanga owenziwe ngamakhemikhali nowenyama (amaminerali) nokuthi kungani sicabanga ukuthi ukhilimu welanga omaminerali ungcono kakhulu ongawusebenzisa esikhumbeni sakho.
Kodwa okokuqala, kubalulekile ukucacisa igama elithi chemical njengoba ngezinye izikhathi kungase kube nombono oyiphutha wokuthi wonke amakhemikhali ayingozi. Kodwa-ke, thina, nakho konke okusizungezile sakhiwe ngamakhemikhali, ngisho namanzi ayikhemikhali ngokwesibonelo, ngakho-ke akukho lutho olungathathwa ngokuthi alunawo amakhemikhali. Lapho kukhona ukwesaba ezizungeze izithako zokunakekela isikhumba, lokhu ngokuvamile kuhlobene nokuthile okwenziwa ngamakhemikhali ayingozi. Kulesi simo, sizosebenzisa igama elithi, 'okungeyona into enobuthi' lapho sigqamisa imikhiqizo ngokuvamile eyamukelwa ukuthi iphephile ukuyisebenzisa.
