Summer is coming and we are already preparing for our favorite time of the year.

We dress in light clothes, the weather invites us to go out more to the street and on vacation those who are luckier can enjoy the beach or the pool. But of course, all this has a downside and that is that we are more likely to suffer damage from the sun and other external agents, so it is important to protect our skin properly this summer.

In summer the skin suffers more than in other seasons since it is exposed to more external factors such as the sun, mainly, but also salt, chlorine or humid places.

The action of these causes a significant dehydration of the dermis so we must recover it by drinking liquids, especially water. Doing this action every day will ensure that we maintain healthier and more hydrated skin.

Another action that we must carry out every day since it is essential, is to apply sunscreen to our skin. The reasons are well known: avoid the appearance of melanoma, burns or spots. The health of our skin is very important and we should never neglect it, especially in the summer.

We must use high protection every day regardless of whether or not we go to the beach or the pool. We recommend using a minimum sunscreen with a protection factor of 30 for the body and 50 for the face, and always apply it several minutes before sun exposure for it to work properly. In addition, it is important not to neglect ourselves and always reapply after bathing or sweating.

Here is a list of sunscreens that stand out for their quality and benefits.

+ TIPS:

  • Another important tip is the importance of moisturizing the skin every day. This advice is applicable throughout the year but in summer it becomes essential since our skin can suffer too much. Moisturizing it every day will keep it nourished, healthy and looking better, let’s not forget to do this hydration routine even if we are on vacation.
  • Following a routine in which we clean and exfoliate our skin is very important since it will more effectively receive moisturizing products and those that include sunscreens, so it will remain oxygenated, healthy and protected.
  • Food is also essential in summer: experts recommend increasing the consumption of vitamins, beta-carotene and lycopene, nutrients that can be found in many fruits and vegetables such as citrus fruits, tomatoes and carrots, among others.
  • Last but not least, it is important to avoid sunbathing during the hours when it is strongest, that is, from 12 noon to 4. By following this recommendation, we will avoid greater evils.

We want this summer to be unforgettable and that you follow our advice as your skin will thank you. Don’t forget that pleasure and care are totally compatible ?
