Summer Skin Care
If you are like the average person the summer is a time for
more outdoor activities. Time for lots of fun time and sun time.
What the funsters need to remember is that problems arise
with too much sun exposure.
In fact, many people are highly sensitive to sunlight
or risk sun burns which could lead to serious problems. Follow
the tips in this article to prepare your skin for Summer Fun In
The Sun.
Hydrate Your Skin
Dermatologist state, when you are exposed to the sun and participate
in sun activities or sweat you lose water. Water hydrates the skin,
keeps it moist, supple, elastic, young! Drink at least 8 glasses of
water per day during the summer. You may need more if you are very
active or sweat profusely.
Cleanse & Moisturize
Establish a regular cleansing routine for your skin especially
during the summer months. Important to get rid of nasty grit and
grime, sweat buildup, pollutants. Use a moisturizing soap to cleanse skin.
Avoid harsh soaps. After washing the face slather on your favorite
facial lotion appropriate for your skin type to seal in moisture.
Sun Screen
Use a sun screen with a SPF 15 or higher. The higher the SPF the more
protection the sun screen will give against UV-B. The Ultra Violet
radiation which causes the skin to burn. The SPF estimates the
amount of time the person who applies the sun screen can be exposed
to the sun before getting burned. Reapply every 2 to 3 hours if
you sweat a lot or if you go swimming.
Avoid Excess Sun Exposure
Too much exposure to the sun exposes you not only to UV-B but
also UV-A which experts believe plays a strong part in photo
aging the skin and causing certain types of skin cancer. Most sun
screens do not adequately filter out UV-A enough to protect the skin.
Cover Up
Wear a hat, cap, with a large brim to protect the face. This is
especially good idea when the sun is at its strongest between
10:00 AM and 4:00PM. Make sure
your tops have long sleeves to protect arms. Even consider using
a summer umbrella when the sun is very harsh. Your skin will
thank you. And you will be thankful years from now because your
skin will show much less damage many sun lovers show
after constant sun exposure.
If you still like the look of a tan, try getting a fake tan.
Only your most intimate friends will know that you are faking it.
Try a self tanner or visit your local tanning salon. Or try a
bit of summer bronzing makeup. Your skin will thank you.
