How would you like some sun on your skin this summer? While sunlight is an excellent source of Vitamin D, UV rays are known for their damaging effect on the skin. Whether you want to get a nice tan or not, you need to protect your skin from daunting UV rays, if you want to preserve its health. The very process of skin pigment darkening has a negative impact on your cells. Here are the must-have products to protect your health this summer. Make sure you always wear them when you get out of the house, in order to stay safe.
Protecting your skin from the sun can reduce your risk of developing skin cancer, sunburn, and premature skin aging like age spots, sagging, and wrinkles.
Sunscreen
You shouldn’t get out of your house without wearing sunscreen, regardless of the season. Skin cancer affects one in five Americans, so you should protect yourself by wearing a high-quality product to keep you safe.
Choose a product that provides protection against UVA and UVB rays. The ideal sunscreen should also be water-resistant and broad-spectrum, and feature an SPF of at least 30. Also, make sure you apply this sunscreen on your exposed skin even on cloudy or rainy days. About 40% of sun’s UV rays pass through the clouds and reach the earth.
For natural aging and effective protection, we recommend that you add an effective sunscreen to your morning skin care routine. This step shouldn’t take you more than a few extra seconds, but it would allow you to keep your skin safe. Keep in mind that body sunscreens aren’t suitable for your face. Facial sunscreen products feature a special formula that moisturizes your complexion and prevents your pores from clogging. When it comes to protecting your body in the most effective manner, use the shot glass method. This is to say that one ounce or a shot glass of product should be enough to cover your entire body. Reapply throughout your day as required. Remember you can always get a healthy tan with these instant glow tan drops.
Lip Protection
Your lips need UV protection, as well! Keep your lips hydrated and ready to be kissed this summer with a reliable and effective lip balm. Almost three quarters of all people who use sunscreen on regular basis overlook applying some protection to their lips. This makes them prone to cracking and getting extremely dry and dehydrated.
Drinking water is the best and the easiest method to keep your lips hydrated. Even if you drink plenty of water, though, you’ll still need to exfoliate them from time to time, in order to prevent them from cracking. Exfoliating your lips is very easy. It only requires a soft toothbrush and a high-quality lip scrub. Once you’re done, proceed to applying a lip balm with at least 30 SPF to protect your lips against the damaging UV rays. Don’t use exfoliation too often, as this will make your lips feel raw and irritated. Check out our online store to see if you can find your favorite SPF lip balm.
Exfoliation
In the beginning of the spring, exfoliation helps shedding all dead cells accumulated throughout the winter. In addition, exfoliation helps increasing blood circulation, so it can help you achieve that healthy, glowing skin look to start your summer in full force.
Use a body scrub to gently exfoliate your body once or twice a week. Don’t be too harsh. Always follow up with a good moisturizer to preserve your skin’s hydration levels.
