How To Take Care Of Your Skin During Hot Summer Time

Reading Time 5 minute

The summer is a time for fun in the sun, but it can also be an uncomfortable experience if you do not protect your skin. The heat and humidity can cause dryness, itchiness, irritation, or inflammation. Sun exposure results in ageing and discolouration of the skin. Worrying about your skin? Follow these tips and enjoy this summer.

SAY YES TO SPF!

Dermatologists recommend protecting your skin all year round. One of the best ways to do this is by wearing sunscreen on a daily basis, but choose one that has a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) 30 or higher SPF and provides broad-spectrum protection from both UVA rays (ultraviolet A) and UVB rays (infrared B) in order to be completely covered. Do it especially if you have light skin tone, very fair skin, or a history of sun sensitivity.

THE ORGANIC PHARMACY Cellular Protection Sun Cream SPF 50

In order to prepare your skin for hot summertime weather, apply a broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen with extracts of Aloe Vera, Shea Butter, Rose Hip and Calendula. This product will provide gentle hydration while providing sun protection for all skin types. Apply sunscreen every two hours under the sun.

LIMIT YOUR EXPOSURE TO THE SUN

It’s also important to limit your exposure to the sun by wearing clothing and hats during peak hours (between 11:00 AM and 03:00 PM). If you have prolonged periods in the sunlight, wear protective clothing such as long trousers and sleeves that cover most of your body.

You should also apply sunscreen about thirty minutes before you go out in the sun, and apply it again every two hours or after you’ve been swimming.

Coola Classic SPF 50 Body Lotion Guava Mango 148 ml

This lotion is your best defence against the harmful rays of the sun while adding hydration to your skin and making sure it stays protected even when you’re outside–but not just on land. The formula is reef-safe, so you can use this with peace of mind in any water environment too!

 

Developed for the modern active lifestyle, this non-greasy sunscreen lotion is fragrance-free and can provide protection for up to 80 minutes in water or sweat. The formula also soothes sensitive skin with rosehip seed oil and contains zinc oxide which blocks UVA + UVB rays from reaching your skin.

DO NOT FORGET ABOUT YOUR BODY, SCALP AND HAIR

When using sunscreen, make sure to use a generous amount – enough for your face alone. And don’t forget other areas of skin like hands/feet, your neckline and ears! Scalp and hairline are also susceptible to sunburn.

 

This water-resistant SPF mist doesn’t weigh hair down or leave it looking greasy. Packed with colour-protecting ingredients, this ocean-scented sunscreen spray also helps prevent UV-related colour fade. It’s essential SPF haircare!

CHEMICAL VS. MINERAL SUNSCREEN

Hot summer days can be hard on your skin. Chemical sunscreens are the most common type of sunscreen. They contain organic molecules, such as avobenzone and oxybenzone that absorb into the skin, converts ultraviolet rays to heat, and releases them from your body.

Chemical sunscreen is a better option if you need one that penetrates the skin quickly and does not wash off when swimming, sweating, or participating in sports.

The active ingredients of mineral sunscreen are titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, which sit on top of your skin and reflect some of the sun’s rays. This is the best option if you have sensitive skin, are pregnant, breastfeeding, or allergic to avobenzone and octinoxate: they are less irritating and more moisturising than chemical sunblocks.

If you’re looking for a gentle yet effective sunscreen option that is good for sensitive skins or those with allergies to chemical components, mineral sunscreens may be perfect!

Nuori Mineral Defence Facial Cream SPF 30 50ml

A fortifying, reef-safe sunscreen that also delivers skincare benefits. The all-natural formula is designed to protect skin against ageing while providing a soft feeling and primer finish for any day. No nanoparticles or synthetic filters means less risk of adverse reactions from those with sensitive skin.

USE NATURAL SKINCARE INGREDIENTS TO PROTECT SKIN

Dryness and sunburns are two of a person’s most common summer woes, but these natural remedies can help ease your discomfort. Aloe vera is one such plant that contains soothing properties beneficial for healing burns or reducing itchiness from dry skin. Some people also use this as an aftersun product

Odacite Sun Guardian Oceanic Glacial Water Day Crème SPF 30 50ml

A mineral broad-spectrum zinc oxide SPF 30 UVA+UVB with Aloe and Calendula to protect the skin from sun damage, pollution and blue light. It is a lightweight cream that melts into the skin, blending into a matte finish for a barely-there appearance.

SUNSCREENS TEXTURES

The texture of your sunscreen product is very important during the hot summertime. Creams and lotions tend to be the most popular, but they can feel heavy on your skin if you’re perspiring a lot or in humid weather conditions. Gel-based sunscreens are good for these things because they don’t have a greasy texture like other products do – which means that they won’t make you sweat more.

Among summer skincare products are sprays or skin mists. These products offer the perfect solution for people who like to live spontaneously and are always on the go, but it’s important to avoid them if you have sensitive skin.

Soleil Touiurs Organic Extrème Face + Scalp Sunscreen Mist SPF 50 SPORT 60 ml

For the active lifestyle, this cream offers a powerful UVA/UVB protection formula that can last for 80 minutes of exposure. Powerful antioxidants are included to help keep your skin looking its best when you have intense sun exposure.

STAY HYDRATED!

Do not forget about hydration for your skin. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, and drink a ton more if you’re sweating. After washing your face at night, pat it dry with a soft towel instead of rubbing against any rough surfaces.

Knowing all these tips will help you take care of your skin during hot summertime and allow the fun to keep on going!
