In the spring and holiday season, sunscreens come to the fore. How to choose the perfect sunscreen for complete skin protection in the city and on the beach?
What is Sanskrin?
This sun protection product is definitely a must-have for the skin, especially in spring / summer. Sunscreens have an SPF number, which in turn can be low to 15, medium to 30, or high to 50 and above, indicating the degree of UV protection.
It is important to remember: the SPF of the two products is not cumulative. Sunscreen should not be mixed with moisturizers - protection is significantly reduced. It is necessary to cover the entire surface of the skin, correctly and on a regular basis in the city and on the beach.
In addition, it is important to understand that sunscreen does not interfere with the production of vitamin D in the body. And all because it is enough to expose the skin to sunlight for a few minutes in order to develop the necessary daily intake of this vitamin. Now let's figure out how to use and choose a sunscreen.
How to apply sunscreen under daytime makeup
- Sunscreen with a rich or light texture is applied to the face in advance. It is advisable to do this 30 minutes before going outside, so that the product began to act.
- It is distributed over clean and dry skin of the face, then wait 5-10 minutes. And only after that a foundation or BB cream is applied.
- If you purchased Sanskrin as a spray, spray directly onto your makeup.
How to choose a Sanskrin correctly?
We recommend focusing not only on ultraviolet index in each region, but also its own phototype.
- So, if you are the owner of snow-white and sensitive skin, your sunscreen should have a high degree of protection, SPF not less than 50.
- If the skin is dark, then even in cloudy weather, use a cream with an SPF of at least 20.
- Older women, especially those with dry skin, should pay attention to products containing moisturizing and anti-aging ingredients, SPF not less than 30. This degree of protection allows the skin to tan a little. But creams with SPF 50 and higher reduce the likelihood of sunburn to almost zero.
- For oily skin, use products with a light texture and a matte finish. For example, Clarins, Invisible SPF 30.
- What to do when sunscreen causes allergies? Use branded creams for sensitive skin and without fragrance. It is also possible with Sanskrin for children with SPF 50 and above, for example, from Nivea.
- Also, if you use acidic beauty products even once a week, you should use sunscreen every day.
UVB and UVA labeling
For the city and the beach, be sure to choose products that have markings UVB and UVA... These products will protect the top and inner layers of your skin. This will avoid skin cancer, the appearance of age spots, premature signs of aging, photodermatitis.
When do you need a waterproof sunscreen?
If you are relaxing on the beach or in the water, then you definitely need a waterproof product. It contains not only physical, but also chemical filters that prevent you from getting burned while bathing.
Remember, regardless of SPF, sunscreen needs to be renewed every two hours and after bathing.
Can I opt out of sunscreen to prolong my tan?
Sunburn does not in any way prevent ultraviolet and infrared rays from penetrating into the deep layers of the skin.Whether in town, on vacation or on the beach, you will still need SPF products to keep your skin safe.
