No one will deny that with the beginning of summer, one of the best selling items become a sunscreen product. Their variety, colours, bronzers and numbers on the bottles confuses. Standing by the store shelf becomes unclear what we are looking for and what we should really be looking for. Skin care professionals advise what really should come in our bag before traveling to enjoy sunbathing.
By learning to read a label, the hassle will be reduced
First of all, you have probably pointed out yourself that all sunscreen products have certain numbers: SPF15, SPF30 or SPF50. These are the numbers that indicate the level of protection against UV rays and you should choose them according to your skin. For example, if you own a dark skin, you probably won’t need a lot of sunscreen because you already have a brown skin tone, so the sun doesn’t hurt your skin very badly. Products marked SPF30 would be enough for you.
And if you have pale skin on your body and face, in other words, you have "royal" skin, you need to protect your skin as effectively as possible, as it is likely to be extremely sensitive to sunburn. So even store consultants will most likely offer you a choice of products with SPF50.
Once you know what strength of protection to choose, it will be possible to pay attention to the active ingredients as well. Most experts recommend choosing products that contain vitamin C - it ensures the recovery of vitamin E. Vitamin E itself, which is an extremely powerful antioxidant that protects against skin ageing, must also be present. And also, it would be good to find soy oil. It is enriched with vitamins A, B6, B12 and K, as well as calcium, magnesium and potassium. Has antioxidant, moisturizing and firming properties.
If you decide to choose sunscreen a little more luxurious, KLIPSHOP offers a full line of products that contain less common but highly effective ingredients.
There are examples of products whose laboratory-advanced formula has a skin restoring effect from water lilies. The product instantly provides a feeling of freshness and softness in the skin and strengthens the skin's natural sun protection. Emulsion protects the DNA of skin cells, providing protection against the harmful effects of free radicals, deeply moisturizes and nourishes, and helps the skin youthful and supple for longer.
In addition, sunbathing enthusiasts have recently begun to appreciate safety measures that are made on the basis of oil. Such products contain effective vitamins and antioxidants that protect skin cells from free radical-induced skin ageing. Using an oil-based product, the skin tans evenly and becomes softer. And the extremely light-textured oil is quickly absorbed not only into the skin, but can also be used to protect hair from UV rays. Which is completely impossible if using lotion or cream-based products.
It is possible not only to be careful, but also to encourage
Skin specialists note that not only skin protection products, but also tanning products are becoming very popular. Just do not misunderstand - it’s not about self-tanning products here. Protection products do not automatically have the effect of tanned skin, they only have less SPF15 protection from UV rays and encourage your tanned body and facial skin to immediately turn brown after enjoying the sun.
The most common such protection products are with natural carotene. The Kakadu plum extract contains a maximum supply of vitamin C to the skin, which protects the skin from free radicals. Tea tree oil has an antiseptic effect, gently cleanses the skin. Aloe vera naturally moisturizes the skin. And carrot seed oil gives a soothing summer bronze skin tone.
This type of protection product cannot replace sunscreen. It is therefore advisable to use a tanning agent before applying sunscreen and to reapply after bathing.
Additional protection products
True, once the body, face, scalp are protected from the sun, it is worth noting another part of the body. It is - lips. Most people have problems with their lips in winter, but in summer, spending a lot of time in the sun, this place also requires care, because it is just as dry and injured by UV rays.
It is therefore recommended to take your favourite lip balm to the beach. It is important that it has a firm consistency, does not dissolve in heat and provides at least minimal protection from UVA / UVB rays, i. should have at least SPF 15. Such a lip balm will protect, soothe and moisturize cracked and scaly lips.
Well, and after sunbathing, be sure to use a cooling gel that soothes and cools skin exposed to wind and sun. The composition of such a care product should be supplemented with real aloe vera, mint oil, vitamin E, lemon, linden and lard extracts. Then we guarantee - you will have healthy and beautifully tanned skin.
