How to protect the skin from the sun in summer?

Summer is a time of relaxation, carefree days, long warm evenings and eagerly awaited holiday getaways.However, this is not a time of rest for our skin, which is exposed to harmful UV rays on hot, sunny days.What to do to avoid problems with dry skin after summer and effectively protect yourself from the unpleasant and dangerous consequences of sunbathing?We are happy to share our proven ways.

Creams with sunscreen are a must

Although it is important to remember about UV skin protection all year round, it is especially important in summer, because this is when our body is most exposed to the sun.Whether on vacation or on a daily basis, when we leave the house in the summer, we need to apply sunscreen to our face and body in good time.The lighter our complexion, the higher the SPF filter we should use.In general, every year when we start the adventure of summer and sunbathing, it is worth reaching for cosmetics that provide higher protection, especially if we go on vacation to a place where high temperatures and sunny days will be the norm.In MACROVITA you can find many natural cosmetics that will effectively protect the skin.Noteworthy among them, for example, is the MACROVITA SPF50 Facial Sunscreen (white) WATER-RESISTANT Bio-Aloe, Panthenol and Bio-Olive Oil.It minimizes the risk of skin burns and dehydration.It also helps prevent the appearance of the first signs of aging.

Also worthy of recommendation is MACROVITA SPF30 WATER-RESISTANT SKIN AND BODY SUNBAKING MILK Bio-Aloe, Panthenol and Bio-Olive Oil 150ml.It provides great protection even for very sensitive skin and takes great care of the skin, thanks to active ingredients such as bio-oil, aloe vera, black oat and argan oil.

Time is of the essence

One of the biggest mistakes we make when applying sunscreen is that we do it too late.Most often we lubricate ourselves with them only when we are on the beach, thus not providing full protection from the first moments of sun exposure.They should be applied about 30 minutes before going outside, so that the active ingredients have enough time to be well absorbed and start working.It is also worth remembering that one application for a whole day is definitely not enough.You need to apply sunscreen every 2 hours or so, and additionally after every time you get out of the water if the cosmetics you use are not waterproof.

The sun is not always our friend

Although being outdoors on sunny days can bring many benefits to our health, it must be stressed that strong exposure to the sun has its unpleasant consequences.To minimize the risk of burns and health problems, you need to avoid the sun when it operates most strongly, that is, around noon.It is better to hide in a shady spot during this time and continue relaxing on the beach in the afternoon.

Extra protection is never enough

We know that an attractive tan is one of the most desirable souvenirs we want to bring back from our vacation sojourns, but tanning needs to be approached with caution.It is worth using all available means of protection - hats, sunglasses, light and airy clothes made of natural fabrics will be invaluable support.

The longing for the beautiful, warm and long summer days always accompanies us when they are already gone.In order for us to associate them only well, proper sun protection should become a habit.
