How to prevent sunburn?
In these approaching vacation days, you will surely want to get out of the house. Wherever you go, a beach, forest, etc., it is essential that you keep your skin hydrated and protected from the sun's rays , as excessive heat and UV rays can damage your skin, accelerating the aging process .
Here we share a series of tips that will help you take care of your skin and prevent burns:
- Use sunscreen. Before leaving the house, use a sunscreen with a sun protection factor ( SPF ) of at least 30 . Apply it all over your skin or the skin that will be exposed to the sun, 30 minutes before going out. It is advisable to reapply sunscreen every 3 or 4 hours.
- Avoid exposing yourself to the sun from 12:00 to 16:00. During these times is when the sun's rays are strongest, so if you expose yourself to the sun at those times and without sunscreen, you can have serious burn problems .
- Wear clothing that covers you from the sun. If for whatever reason you must expose yourself to the sun at the times mentioned, in addition to using sunscreen, wear clothing that covers you to avoid damage from UV rays. It is recommended to use wide-brimmed hats that cover most or all of the face, sunglasses that help you avoid possible eye damage , as well as clothing made of special fabrics to protect you from the sun's rays.
- Keep hydrated. The skin requires hydration to prevent the sun's rays or excessive heat from drying it out and making it more vulnerable to potential burns due to sun exposure. Hydrate yourself, preferably with plain water , throughout the day.
- Use products that help you care for and hydrate your skin. Especially the one on the face. Masks like Forever Young and Today is the Day will help you keep your skin hydrated and younger :
