Remember...
- To use a sunscreen throughout the year. The sun’s rays are always harmful.
- To pay special attention to sensitive areas that we usually tend to forget: ears, nose, lips and neck, the area around the eyes, etc.
- Direct sun exposure after waxing can cause skin irritation.
- To wear always sunglasses with full UV protection. An equally important accessory is a hat to protect your face and head.
- Infants and children should use sunscreens with SPF30, containing only natural filters (zinc oxide and titanium dioxide).
- A sunscreen that really protects you must contain powerful antioxidants, as well as moisturizing agents.
- increasing your sun exposure gradually, to avoid sunburn, starting with sunscreens with a higher SPF.
- foods rich in zinc (it increases the elasticity of the skin and helps the body deal with sunburn) and in vitamins C & E (for the prevention of skin aging due to the sun) to enhance the natural sun protection of your body.
- foods rich in copper (e.g. mushrooms, walnuts, grapes, which increase the secretion of melanin) and vitamin A in order to maintain your tan.
- using an after-sun body lotion to maintain your tan and moisturize your skin.
- white or light colored clothing during the summer months.
- wearing eau de toilettes, perfumes and body creams that contain alcohol when exposed to sunlight, because they can cause a phototoxic reaction.
- tanning lamps. The emitted radiation causes sunburn, premature skin aging, and increases the risk of skin cancer in future.
- sun exposure when you are facing acne problem because sun aggravates it.
