Safe suntan – How to take advantage of the summer sun wisely?

Hi girls,

I bet all of you can’t wait for the summer to begin. The sun warms us up, the sand tickles our feet and the sea water cools down our body. Unfortunately, none of these human attractions is pleasant for our body skin. Sun rays can cause sunburns while sand and sea water dehydrate the skin. Fortunately, you don’t have to resign from the summer fun. It’s enough to sunbathe wisely and, before exposing the body to the sun, coat the skin with a sunscreen.

Pre-summer skin peeling

Before you start sun tanning, take care of your skin. Do peeling that will remove dead epidermis cells, smooth wrinkles and highlight discolorations. You can use regular care products from a drug store, peeling masks or enzymatic cosmetics. If your complexion requires more sophisticated ways of regeneration, make a good use of chemical peelings. However, be aware of the fact that treatments with AHA and BHA acids can be performed by a qualified beautician only. This kind of a procedure is ideal for removing blackheads, it highlights discolorations and makes wrinkles less visible.

Summer body hydration

If you want to stay away from the bad consequences of skin dehydration, wrinkles and discolorations, use moisturizing cosmetics regularly. In the morning and evening, and throughout a day, apply creams, lotions and balms on daily basis. Use products that contain hyaluronic acid, aloe extract, Shea butter, urea, bamboo extract or water lily extract. Also, you should treat your body with moisturising cosmetics when you plan to spend all day on sunbathing. Obviously, don’t forget to use sunscreens since these products are also able to replenish dermis with water.

Successful summer sun protection

Remember to apply sun creams not only before intended sunbathing but also before taking a long walk or before doing exercises outdoors. Thanks to them, you’ll avoid sunburns, wrinkles and discolorations. Always carry products containing UVB and UVA filters with you, especially when going on summer holiday. What’s crucial, before the journey starts, have all your skin lesions and marks examined by a physician or a dermatologist. A specialist will use a dermatoscope to define whether a particular spot can be safely exposed to the sunlight or not. Remember that people with many moles on their skin are more skin cancer-prone.

To conclude, if you’re going on holiday and if you’re packing your luggage, don’t forget to place there sunscreens, too. Enjoy your well-deserved rest!
