The spring sun comes into our house, and we start to remember the need to buy sun protection products. Girls treat their skin differently, some remember protecting it in the spring, some after getting a sunburn, and some protect it all year round.

After all, you can use not only sunscreens, but also BB creams, powders, tonal creams, which also contain SPF - protection . European girls love tanned skin and often specifically spend a lot of time in the sun to give it that tanned look. But this approach often leads to the opposite effect. Along with tanning on your face, you get wrinkles and hyperpigmentation, which is very difficult to correct later.

Asian history has proven the fact that girls who avoided long exposure to the sun had smooth, delicate skin until adulthood, and those girls whose fate forced them to be constantly under the sun had skin problems even before middle age (uneven tone, wrinkles, various skin problems). But if you are still a big fan of tanned skin, then you must definitely use means to protect it and then apply high-quality comprehensive care.

Which tools are better to choose

There are many products on the market that will protect you from the sun. Various creams, gels, sprays, serums, pastes, lotions, milk, which differ both in consistency and in their compositions. You can choose the right product for you, based on the characteristics of your skin and the place of application.

For example, if you have dry skin prone to pigmentation, you need a cream with moisturizing ingredients (hyaluronic acid, seaweed, snail) and a lightening effect (pearls, vitamins, niacinamide).

If you have oily skin, it is better to use products with a thinner consistency of serum, gel, milk.

If you have aging skin, it should contain ingredients to combat age-related changes (peptides, collagen, snake venom, caviar).

Skin care after tanning

With prolonged exposure to the sun, it dries out the skin and the process of a protective reaction to ultraviolet begins. A thick layer of dead cells is a protective barrier against harmful external factors. At the same time, keratinocytes mature at an accelerated pace, intercellular cement does not have time to form between them, and moisture freely escapes through the microcracks that form. With large doses of ultraviolet light or long-term insolation, many inflammatory mediators are released in the skin, which is why it turns red and hurts after tanning. Therefore, it is necessary to take good care of the skin after being on the beach. Take a shower to wash away the salt and sweat, wash your face with a soft foam or gel, additionally apply a tonic that moisturizes the cream, and before that it is better to use an emulsion or lotion. Then apply a cloth mask overnight. One tip:

How to use sunscreen correctly

Apply the protective agent 15-20 minutes before leaving the house, and then renew it every two hours. If you are under the sun constantly, the product must be renewed every hour. If you have applied makeup, it is not convenient for you to update every two hours, and for this you need to use products with SPF in your makeup.

What to use if the skin is burnt in the sun

If your skin is burnt, red and burning, you need to clean it and apply a body gel. It is better to use Aloe Vera gel - it is a proven remedy against tanning, which will relieve burning, pain and redness in a short period of time. The gel can be applied every 30 minutes until you feel improvement. You can also use gels with cucumber extract, hyaluronic acid and vitamins. In the morning, re-apply the product to the sunburned areas, and believe me, it works better than folk remedies (sour cream or potato wedges).
