How To Protect Your Skin in the Summer

Summer is the period of the year when the days are the longest, when the temperatures are high, when everything is inviting us to spend time outside. However, summer is also a period of the year that comes with very specific and often difficult to tackle challenges for our skin. The outermost defense layer of our body is constantly exposed to the sun’s rays as well as to the wind in summer; whenever we enter an air-conditioned building interior, our skin becomes exposed to dry air, all these special circumstances taking a toll on our skin. Fortunately, there are lots of efficient and easy to implement measures that can counter all these negative effects – here are some.

Never Go Out without Sunscreen

Solar protection is essential for maintaining the elasticity and the health of your skin. Pick a product that has a high sun protection factor (SPF), level 30 or higher, and check out the skincare ingredients in the product as well – many sunscreen lotions, creams and sprays today can double as a day moisturizer as well, what’s more, you can find tinted moisturizer with spf formulated especially for your skin type (sensitive skin needs a different protection than oily or combination skin).

It is also very important to know how to use your sunscreen correctly. Applying your product only once a day is not enough, especially if you go into the water as well. Make sure to reapply your sunscreen every couple of hours on your entire body to maximize its protective effects.

Bathe and Sunbathe with Caution

The sun’s rays are the strongest between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., so it is a good idea to stay out of the sun, in the shade, during that period. Take a shower each time after you swim in the sea or in the pool – the salt of the sea and the chlorine used in swimming pools have skin-drying effects and can harm your skin if they are not removed.

A Special Skincare Regimen

Your summer skincare routine should also include other measures to tackle the special environmental challenges of the hot season. Use a gentle cleanser to remove any impurities and dead skin cells from your skin in the morning and in the evening and apply a nourishing and moisturizing cream after each cleansing. Pick your cream depending on your skin type – if you have dry skin, choose products with increased emollient properties, while for oily skin, choose products that minimize the risk of breakouts.

Peeling should also be an integral part of your summer skincare routine. Choose a gentle, but efficient product and use it every couple of weeks, but don’t rub your skin too vigorously and always avoid the sensitive area around your eyes. After you exfoliate, apply a nourishing skin mask as well.

Consume Lots of Liquids

When it is hot outside, your entire body, including your skin, needs more hydration. Consume at least eight glasses of water, herbal tea and fresh fruit juices a day and avoid caffeinated or alcoholic beverages as much as you can – they all dehydrate the body, causing skin dryness.

 



Perfumes

Cologne/Perfume types reflect the concentration of aromatic compounds in a solvent, which in fine cologne is usually a mixture of water and ethanol or ethanol. Various sources differ greatly in the definitions of cologne kinds. The intensity and longevity of a cologne is dependent on the concentration, intensity and longevity of the aromatic compounds (natural essential oils / cologne oils) used.

Cologne oils are frequently diluted with a solvent, though this really isn’t consistently the situation, and its own requirement is questioned. The most typical solvent for cologne oil dilution is a combination of water and ethanol or ethanol like pisco, cognac, brandy, rakia and rectified strips. Cologne oil can be diluted by way of inert-smelling oils like fractionated coconut oil, or liquid waxes for example jojoba oil.

The traditional application of pure perfume (parfum characteristic) in Western cultures is at pulse points, including behind the ears, the nape of the neck, as well as the insides of wrists, elbows and knees, so the beat point will warm the cologne and release scent always.

The modern cologne industry supports the custom so it is released in different intensities contingent on the period of the day of layering scent. Softly scented goods like body lotion, shower gel, and bath oil are recommended for the morning; eau de toilette is proposed for the day; and cologne placed on the pulse points for evening.



Primer Foundation

A base primer may function as a moisturizer, or oil may be absorbed by it with help or salicylic acid in making a less oily, more matte look. It raises the longevity of the base, and helps in implementing the base more evenly and easily. Some include alternative ingredients like grape seed extract and green tea extract, or antioxidants including A, C, and E.

There are water-based and silicon-based base primers. Fixings may contain dimethicone and cyclomethicone. Some primers don’t include scent, oil or preservative. Some may also have sun protection factor (SPF). Some base primers are tinted to even out or enhance colour or skin tone. Others give a pearlized finish to make the complexion light reflective. There are also base primers that are mineral-based primers, which include silica and mica.

Eye or eyelid shadow primers are alike, but made especially to be used close to the eyes. An eyelid primer may mattify, or inversely may add shimmer may reduce oiliness may help the colour of the lid and upper eye region. Eye primers prevent it from piling up in eyelid creases help in the smooth application of eye shadow, and enhance its longevity. There are numerous brands of eye shadow primers out there. Two eye shadow primers that are popular contain Urban Decay Primer Potion and Too Faced Shadow Insurance.
