It’s no secret, spending a day in the sun can feel good on the skin and can even help give it a little glow. But what if you knew that beneath the surface, the UV rays from the sun were causing serious damage to your flawless face? Before you run to an umbrella, we want to share a few tips on how to prepare for the sun with a skincare regimen so you can continue to enjoy the beautiful outdoors.
1. Know the Danger
Understanding the danger the sun poses to the skin is an important first step in preparing for summer. The harmful UV rays from the sun can cause severe damage to the skin fibers. This damage can lead to irritation, redness and sagging skin. Whether you are directly in the sun or the rays are affecting your skin for indirect exposure, the damage can ultimately lead to early signs of aging in the skin. While a day at the beach is a fun way to relax and enjoy the summer, keep in mind that the sun is a real danger if the skin is not prepared.
2. Find Products That Work
A skincare regimen needs to not only contain products that work, but products that are safe. All natural skin care products enriched with vitamins will protect the skin and aid in the critical process of skin cell repair. Using a hyaluronic acid serum will help keep the skin tight and firm to combat the sagging effect caused by exposure to the sun. It will also aid in the regrowth of skin cells. Since the skin surrounding the eyes can display the most damage, it is great to have the help of a hydrating eye cream in your daily routine. This will help keep the skin firm and reduce the appearance of wrinkles that will develop over time.
3. Stick With a Routine
You know the danger. You have the products that work. Now is the time to implement a daily skin care routine that will help keep the skin protected and will prepare it for the summer sun. Stay alert when you are in the sun and do you best to avoid over exposure. Remember to use your products every day and the positive effects will not go unnoticed.
They say everything in nature is about balance, and that is no less true when it comes to our skin. Achieving the delicate ying and yang of beautiful skin may come down to maintaining the right pH balance. So, what is the magic pH level of healthy skin? On a scale of 0 to 14, the ideal state is slightly acidic, sitting around 5.
What products we use can also affect the pH level of healthy skin. Have you ever wondered why some cleansers give your skin that squeaky-clean tight feeling? They could be disrupting your skin’s pH level. Choose soap-free cleansers that are pH balanced (not too alkaline or too acidic) that fall within the range of normal, healthy skin.
If there is anything we can take away from the pandemic, it’s that we’ve all been washing our hands wrong. Hopefully after we get through this, the normal flu season will never look the same thanks to a new, higher awareness and appreciation for good hygiene!
So perhaps it’s not such a big surprise to find out there are common pitfalls to avoid when it comes to washing our face too, and some important tips for maintaining clear, healthy skin.
