After a day at the beach, skin care is essential so as not to mistreat it and suffer the effects of sun exposure. Well, whether in the short, medium or long term, if we do not take care of this, it can have negative effects on the health of the skin since ultraviolet rays age the cells and affect the skin pigments, producing lots of diseases, including cancer.
Therefore one of the first skin care is to constantly use sunscreen, not only when going to the beach, but every time we get out and expose ourselves to the hard sunrays. But, if you go to the beach one or more days, skin care should be more intense; therefore, we recommend:
Sun exposure at recommended times: These schedules range from seven in the morning until 11 am and from four in the afternoon since at that time the sunrays are less intense; however, you should not forget the use of sunscreen.
Taking cold baths: After being exposed to the sun for prolonged times, there is an increase in the average body temperature; for this reason the water used during showers should be as cold as possible so that the body temperature is balanced.
Daily hydration: It is a skin care of greater importance after a day of sun and beach since some of the water that our body has evaporates, and during the summer season the skin tends to be much drier and may present scratches and / or cracks.
In this sense, a lot of liquid should be consumed, in addition to applying a good quality moisturizer, not consuming salty or high-sodium foods, and acquiring lotions of recognized brands for skin care after having gone to the beach, especially when several days pass and the damage may be greater.
Applying aloe Vera or chamomile: Skin care with natural products is very simple, and it gives the skin hydration and protection. In the case of aloe Vera (Vera) and chamomile, both reduce swelling in the skin caused by excess sun, so it is recommended applying compresses with chamomile tea in the areas most affected by the sun, while aloe Vera is applied once the penca is peeled and washed, placing it on the face for about 20 minutes, which can be repeated 3 times a day If the skin is very damaged.
Another skin care is to clean the skin deeply in order to eliminate salt, sand and other waste present, and then hydrate it. The use of good body and facial scrubs is essential to achieve a correct cleaning since these eliminate impurities and dead cells present in the skin. Under normal conditions, it is recommended applying them at least once a week, and if you have gone to the beach, it should be used about two or three times in order to improve the absorption of lotions and moisturizers.
On the other hand, exfoliation is highly recommended during warm showers because they favour the relaxation and humidification of the whole body in an effective and natural way.
After having done a deep cleansing, moisturizer should be applied throughout the body and that preferably contain collagen and elastin in order to stimulate the growth of these elements, which are lost with exposure to the sun and are fundamental to prevent the aging of cells and skin.
Face skin care, even if they look the same as the rest of the body, require the use of specific facial creams, even of products to use during the night so that during sleep, the skin nourishes and recovers more quickly.
Tanned skin care: When you go to the beach, most want to wear a good tan and prolong this aspect for as long as possible, so it is recommended applying a moisturizing lotion with aloe vera twice a day, which also prevents the appearance of those ugly skins on the skin which are caused by burns. Also, consume fruit juices and food such as carrots to prolong the golden hue and provide shine to the skin due to its vitamin intake.
Consuming Vitamin C: Fruits such as oranges, tangerines, lemons, kiwis, strawberries, red fruits, apples, guavas, melons, grapefruits, among others are high in vitamin C and powerful antioxidants, which protect the skin from excess and environmental effects; so it is recommended to consume these natural products frequently, especially if it has been exposed to the sun for many hours, not only on the beach, but anywhere. However, the combination of the sun with salt, sand and the wind can affect the skin to a greater extent, producing burning, inflammation and burns.
Definitely, enjoying the sun does not have to be a problem for your skin; if you take your precautions, have a good diet, and follow the advice we have given you, you can wear a fabulous tan for several days and affect your skin at least possible.
