Do not use SPF cream instead of moisturizer

Modern sun protection products contain a certain amount of moisturizer, so they can be used instead of lotions, you think? Not at all. Not all of these products moisturize the skin, and in some cases can make it more oily or, on the contrary, dry, emphasizes estet-portal.com. Even when using them, you need to make sure that you moisturize your skin enough to keep it healthy.

 Therefore, choose sun protection that:

• moisturizes the skin properly,
• had the same ingredients as in the product that you moisturize the skin with, or wipe your face with micellar water during the day.

Lack of skin protection in the evening

The most dangerous period of time for your skin – from 10 am to 3 pm, but this does not eliminate the need to apply sunscreen before or after these time frames. Your skin can burn even in the evening, and relying only on clouds in this case is not advisable. Otherwise, you risk becoming the owner of freckles or pigmentation. Fortunately, they can be eliminated with cosmetic procedures such as microdermabrasion.

It doesn't matter what time it is, if you see that the sun is outside, be sure to apply a small amount of the product on the skin of the face, neck and décolleté. Skin care in summer is not tied to the time of day, it should be constant.

How to properly remove body hair in summer

If you have not yet solved the aesthetic problem of body hair, then you should know that just before going to the beach, this is not necessary. Since shaving or epilation can injure the skin and get into these microcracks:

• sand,
• not very clean water,
• bacteria, etc.

What can cause irritation and inflammation of the skin.

Besides, try to steam the skin before the procedure, this will help the skin to remain smooth and not injured, and the extra hairs will become softer and will shave better.

Which cosmetic products are better not to use in the summer season

With all the abundance of cosmetic products in the summer, it is better to stop using some cosmetics:

• Dense foundation. In the heat, such a cosmetic product tends to blur on the skin, no matter what you do with it. So opt for BB cream, water-based foundation or mineral powder,
• Regular lipstick. Use lipstick with an SPF factor too, as the delicate skin of the lips is highly susceptible to photoaging and the negative effects of dry air.
• Deodorant in the morning. It is best if you apply antiperspirant after evening bath procedures. During the night, it will be absorbed into the skin and during this time a kind of protective film will form, which will allow you to stay fresh during the day.
