7 Top Tips to protect your skin from the sun

7 Top Tips to protect your skin from the sun

If you like to spend time outside, raise your hand. Play in the park with your child. Grill with friends in the garden. Swim in the ocean. Ah, summer is so fun!

On the one hand, I am determined to make the most of this beautiful summer weather without damaging the skin. The sun is not as friendly as it looks, but I have some tricks that allow me to enjoy its warmth, not wrinkles, dark spots or cancer.

Don't worry, I will share it with you. Here are seven ways to protect your skin from the sun:

1.wear sunscreen
Ok, this is obvious. But it is worth repeating. You need to apply sunscreen every day before leaving home.

Sunscreen is the most powerful anti-aging weapon in your arsenal. Use it. often. Apply it to all exposed parts of the body and make up every few hours (or after swimming/sweating).

Choose a product that offers broad spectrum protection. How much sunscreen still protects you from UVB rays is ridiculous (has anyone told the brand that UVA rays are equally dangerous?). My favorite contains zinc oxide, a white mineral that protects the entire UV range alone. You can find my favorite zinc oxide sunscreen here.

If you only follow this prompt, your age is 10 times better than all your friends.

2.wearing a hat
You are either a hat lover or a hat hate. Speaking of hats, there is no between the two. I know.

But are you applying sunscreen on your scalp? Also need sunscreen Cos. If you don't remember to apply sunscreen there, then the hat is the best choice.

Plus, the hat is a sunscreen multi-function protector: it protects your scalp from damage and protects your face, neck and ears from the sun.

Hats come in all shapes, sizes and colors, so you don't have any excuses. You will definitely find something you will like.

PS: If you go to the straw hat, make sure it doesn't have a big hole. They let the ultraviolet rays pass through, first defeating the whole purpose of wearing a hat. Baseball caps are also not the best choice for sun protection (too small).

3.Wear sunglasses
You may be using a separate eye cream (even if you don't need it) because you know the delicateness of the eye area.

Why don't you wear sunglasses when you go out? They add an extra layer of protection to protect your thief from the sun.

The choice is to choose a lens that blocks at least 98% of the UV light. Yes, those may be expensive, but they will last for many years. Not to mention all the sun damage they will stop. And squinting. This can also cause wrinkles.

When the feet of those crows don't crawl too early, you will be glad that you have invested.

4. Use SPF-containing lip products
You feel a theme here. We make sure that every part of your body avoids the irritating UV rays.

Like the eyes, the lips are very delicate but neglected (at least in terms of sun protection). It's time to change, ladies.

When you go out next time, make sure you wear at least one SPF product. It may be your lipstick. It may be your lip gloss. It may be your lip balm.

It's ok. Just started using SPF.

5. Wear sunscreen clothing
No, I am not suggesting that you wear the beach from head to toe. Summer is a time to wear a light dress and a cute swimsuit, but it is worthwhile to cover it from time to time.

Wear long sleeves, long skirts and pants if weather permits. But be careful! Not all clothing provides sun protection. Tight-fitting women and dark fabrics are better sun protection.

6. Looking for shadows
Yes, outdoor activities are fun, but that doesn't mean you have to spend all your time in the hot sun. Leave it in a cool place when it is too hot (usually between 10 am and 4 pm).

I like to look for shade under the trees, but umbrellas can do it. I know that it is very strange to walk with an umbrella in bright sunlight (unless you are in Korea - that's why Korean women are so good after age), but it will keep your skin young and wrinkle-free.

Isn't that worth it?

7. Avoid tanning beds
Let us be clear: ultraviolet light is ultraviolet light.

They are not harmful because you can get repairs from the tanning bed instead of the sun itself. Tanning beds can also cause cancer, wrinkles and dark spots.

If you want to tanning, you can take it out of the bottle.
