Do you know how foreigners recognize people from the CIS at foreign seaside resorts? By the characteristic redness of a sun tan in the first hours of rest. Unfortunately, the fashion for sunscreen is just emerging here. Although in Europe and America, a cream or lotion with SPF is the same attribute of a vacation, a picnic, or even a city excursion, as are sunglasses.

Sunscreen for your face will help you avoid:

• sunburn. Redness, blisters and peeling can occur not only in direct sunlight, but also in the shade (due to broken rays) and in water. Skin microtraumas look unsightly and bring a lot of discomfort;

• skin cancer Those who wear sunscreen have a 50-70% lower chance of developing melanoma than those who do not use SPF creams on the beach or on vacation;

• photoaging. The sun brings not only an even chocolate tan, but also early aging. Aggressive photons of sunlight form free radicals in the dermis, destroy cells, and reduce the amount of elastin and collagen.

All factors together provoke the appearance of early wrinkles, sagging skin, and dull color. The best sunscreen for the face and other areas of the body will help you avoid all the troubles of tanning.

HOW TO CHOOSE SUNSCREEN ACCORDING TO YOUR SKIN TYPE?

UV protection products are marked SPF on the packaging. Translated from English this means “sun protection”. SPF ranges from 6-8 units for dark-skinned people with dark eyes and hair and up to 60 (for people with very fair skin that instantly burns in the sun). Therefore, which sunscreen to use is chosen, first of all, depending on the type of appearance.

The next criterion is skin type. For those with oily dermis, lotions or sprays marked “oil-free” are needed. Also, protective components are preferable in the form of azobenzene and oxybenzene, rather than heavy titanium oxide, which clogs pores. It is better to choose a zinc mineral base that fights rashes.

What kind of sunscreen should you use for dry skin? The densest creamy consistency with additional moisturizing components (glycerin, aloe extracts).

Owners of combination skin use universal products or simultaneously options for oily and normal dermis for different areas of the body.

TIPS FOR CARE OF YOUR BODY WHILE SUNTANNING

We discussed which sunscreen to choose at sea. And few people know how to apply it. The rules for using safe tanning products are very simple:

• At least 15 minutes before going to the beach, apply the cream in a thick layer and allow it to be absorbed. If you plan to sunbathe, then distribute the product over the entire body, including the back of the buttocks and legs, and back;

• Over time, the protective film with SPF stops working. If you do not bathe, do not dry your body, or do not actively sweat, then you need to reapply the product after an hour;

• those who like to swim in pools or splash in natural bodies of water repeat application after 20 minutes;

• You should use cream in plastic packaging or lotion with an ultraviolet filter even when relaxing in a closed gazebo or under an umbrella on the beach.
