Summer and holiday trips are approaching. How should we prepare our skin for the tanning salon in order to avoid sunburns and keep our tan for a long time?
The first step is exfoliation, which means getting rid of keratinized epidermis from all over the body. Otherwise the skin may tan unevenly, resulting in unsightly spots. For this purpose, we perform body scrub. The optimal frequency is exfoliation done twice a week for 2 weeks
Women with vascular skin and a tendency to allergic reactions can perform a mild peeling groomage. Women who do not have skin problems can reach for a sugar or salt scrub. How else to prepare your skin for sunbathing? Once you get rid of dead skin, you need to make sure your skin is properly moisturized. Why is it so important? Dry skin tans unevenly. You should also be aware that the sun’s rays can effectively dry it out, thus contributing to damage of the lipid mantle
How to properly moisturize your skin before holiday sunbathing? You can use both lotion and oil for this purpose. The most important thing here is to moisturize in two stages. The first step is to replenish moisture, which can be obtained with the help of cosmetics containing panthenol, allantoin, aloe or hyaluronic acid. The second step is to protect the loss of hydrolipid coat. To avoid this, use emollients such as cocoa butter, shea butter, coconut oil or grape seed oil
It’s also a good idea to depilate your body before sunbathing. It guarantees a comfortable feeling on the beach. Note: women who have recently had laser hair removal should not expose their skin to the sun for a while. The most important element of preparation for relaxation in the sun is to equip yourself with properly fitting sunscreen cosmetics. The most important part of preparing for a relaxing time in the sun is to get properly fitted sunscreen products. When choosing a sunscreen, you need to remember that it guarantees protection against UVA and UVB radiation
How should I use a sunscreen? It should be applied about 15 minutes before going out in the sun. Very light skinned women should choose sunscreen with an SPF of 50, and should not spend more than 20 minutes in the sun. For safe sunbathing, you should avoid direct contact with the sun from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Over time, you can gradually increase the sunbathing time and reduce the sunscreen. Try SPF 30 first, and if you find that your skin reacts well to the sun, you can reach for an SPF 15 without worry
Sunscreen should be reapplied every 2 hours on average, as the sun will cause the filters contained in the cosmetic to stop working. Application of this type of product should be repeated every time you get out of the water.
What cosmetics, besides sunscreen, are worth packing in your bag for the beach? Products containing alcohol are not recommended. They can cause skin discoloration. Opt for a natural deodorant or antiperspirant without coloring substances. If you want to even out your facial skin tone while relaxing in the sun, use a BB cream with a UVA and UVB protection higher than SPF 30. An important element of preparation for the sunbathing is also a proper diet. Before going on holiday it’s worthwhile to supplement your diet with antioxidants, for example in the form of fruit and green vegetables.
