Summer heat can be very damaging to the skin, as it causes a number of different issues. One of the primary causes of skin damage during the summer months is exposure to the sun. When skin is exposed to too much sun, it can become burnt and damaged, leading to painful and unsightly blisters and peeling. Additionally, the heat can cause the skin to become dry and dehydrated, which can lead to cracking and flaking. This can be exacerbated by the fact that many people tend to spend more time outside during the summer, which means they are exposed to the elements for longer periods of time. Finally, the heat can also cause the skin to become more sensitive and prone to breakouts, which can be especially problematic for people with oily or acne-prone skin. Overall, it is important to take steps to protect the skin during the summer months, in order to prevent damage and maintain healthy, glowing skin.
Here are 9 tips on how to protect your skin during the summer:
- Apply Sunscreen: Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30, 15-30 minutes before going out in the sun. Reapply every 2 hours or after swimming or sweating.
- Seek Shade: Try to stay in the shade during peak sun hours (10 am-4 pm) when the sun’s rays are the strongest.
- Wear Protective Clothing: Wear long-sleeved shirts, pants, and a wide-brimmed hat to protect your skin from the sun.
- Wear Sunglasses: Protect your eyes from UV rays by wearing sunglasses that block at least 99% of UVA and UVB radiation.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and healthy.
- Avoid Tanning Beds: Tanning beds emit UV rays that can damage your skin and increase your risk of skin cancer.
- Be Aware of Medications: Certain medications can increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun. Be aware of any medications you are taking and take extra precautions to protect your skin.
- Check Your Skin: Regularly check your skin for any changes, such as new moles, spots, or changes in existing moles or spots. If you notice any changes, see a dermatologist.
