As we approach summer and temperatures
rise, we will be more exposed to the sun's rays.
1. Use sunscreen and don't forget your lips
Sunscreen is essential, especially at this time
of year for protection against the sun.
Sunscreen is not just for children. The Skin
Cancer Foundation recommends a sunscreen
with a SPF of at least 15.
2. Hydration is key
The body loses much more water in summer
than at other times of the year due to heat
and humidity. It is important that you drink a
lot, especially water. This will also help your
skin look smooth and hydrated.
3. Buy yourself a big hat
I know we love to use our favorite team’s cap,
but unfortunately it is not the best solution to
protect us from the sun. Tightly woven hats
with at least a three inch brim is
recommended by the Skin Cancer
Foundation.
4- Shave consciously
Before shaving you have to prepare the skin,
either with an oil or cream to soften the skin
or with warm water compresses. It is essential
to buy a quality razor and make sure that the
blade is in optimal condition. After shaving, it
is recommended to use a moisturizing cream.
5- Always wear your sunglasses
You may have to invest some money. Your
eyes and your skin will thank you. The Skin
Cancer Foundation recommends wearing
glasses that block both UVA and UVB rays.
Don't forget that UV radiation can cause
cataracts, as well as irritate and even burn the
cornea.
