It’s summer, which means it’s important to take care of your skin. Neglecting it will leave you with dryness, dullness and flakiness that can lead to uneven pigmentation (discoloration) or wrinkles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are some summer skin tips<\/strong> for beautiful, healthy-looking skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Use Sunscreen Daily<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the most common summer skin tips<\/strong> is to use sunscreen. Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher, especially during summer months because it’s easy for people to spend a lot of time outdoors then and get too much exposure without realizing it. At Seacra<\/a>, we spoke about our top three SPFs here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have skin that is particularly sensitive to sunburn, apply sunscreen at least 20 minutes before going outside and reapply every two hours, even if your clothing covers most of your body. Choose a sunscreen with zinc oxide or titanium oxide as its active ingredient in order to shield yourself from UVA rays; physical sunscreens tend not to break down easily like chemical ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To maximize your sunscreen’s effectiveness, we recommend using antioxidant products with it. If UV rays escape the layer of sunscreen on your skin and reach healthy cells, they can be damaged. This could manifest as pigmentation or signs of premature ageing. Antioxidants such as Astaxanthin\u2014which is found in red algae\u2014can combat UV rays and prevent them from causing further damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Does Skin Improve In Summer?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Many people believe that they don’t need to worry about their skin during the summer, as there is no school-related stress causing hormonal imbalances. However, what most people don’t realise is that being outdoors all day long can actually cause more damage than simply being indoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During the summer months, skincare is important because of heat-related dehydration and increased oil production due to hormone fluctuations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you already have oily skin, when this mixture of sweat and sunscreen comes into contact with bacteria on your face\u2014you will likely experience an increase in acne breakouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
