How not to become a victim of the scorching sun?


Many months you tormented on diets, "pumped" in the gyms, ran through the shopping centers in search of the most stunning swimsuit, dresses and flops. Things are collected, routes are painted. On the horizon there are sunny joys, seascapes and resort romances. But! You must be prepared for all kinds of unforeseen circumstances. Especially if it is a question of long sunny sessions and beach activities. What you need to remember to not turn your holiday into a nightmare? How not to become a victim of the scorching sun? In this article you will find a lot of useful information on this topic.

Strategy.

Even before the fact of getting on the beach it is worthwhile to turn some simple operations that will obviously benefit you.

In order not to look very pale at the first beach defile, do not be too lazy a couple of days before the planned exit to attend a tanning session. This procedure is carried out in many beauty salons, takes 15 minutes, and the effect lasts for about a week. During this time, you probably will have time to get covered with natural tan. Almost the same can be done at home using a bottle of autosunburn. The main thing - pre-scrape the skin, apply a thin layer of cream

and make sure that there are no strips and unevenness left. Scientifically prepared for the beach will help "solar" pills. They reduce sensitivity to ultraviolet rays, speeding up the tanning process. Such capsules should be taken two weeks before and one and a half months after rest.

Regardless of which point of the world you are going to sunbathe, your mandatory accessory should be the means before and after sunbathing. With a suitable protection factor for you. It is proved that ultraviolet rays are largely to blame for premature aging of the skin. Do you need more arguments?

If you are going to rest in one of the countries close to the equator, for example, in Jamaica, Malaysia or Vietnam, regardless of the type of skin, put the means with the strongest protection factor in the suitcase. In such countries, the sun does not spare anyone. And, having burnt on the first day, you risk the rest of the vacation in the hotel or worse - on a hospital bed.

It is better to take several creams with different factors of protection, with more powerful - for the first days and for a delicate skin of the face.

Tactics.

Zagoray without fanaticism. Especially in the early days. Do not spend more than an hour in the open sun. Give the skin

get used to. And remember, if on the first day you are roasted (that is, reddened), the next one, most likely, will darken, but after a while the peel will certainly begin to peel. If you do everything according to the rules, then you will return home with an even, long-playing, albeit not too dark tan. And if you try to catch up with Beyonce or Rihanna, then in 85 out of 100% you will get a patchy scaly skin. Do you need it?

Always apply sunscreen 15-30 minutes before, not at the beach. Do not think that if you have smeared yourself in the morning, you can freely sunbathe all day. Renew the protection layer every 1.5-2 hours and after bathing. Yes, often not the most predictable places burn - armpits, skin between fingers, under the knees, on the rise of the foot, do not forget about them.

From an hour to four days, creep under the awning. Getting a burn at this time is an easy thing. The optimal time for tanning - until 11 am and after A day, until sunset. Do not think that if the sun is not high, then the sunburn does not go down. About 30% of the rays penetrate the clouds and even under the umbrella.

Do not lie in the sun like a condemned man. The periodic ingress of water onto the body is very useful. Tanning falls faster and more evenly. Therefore, on vacation the best tactic is "fifty-fifty", spend about

the same time on the beach and in the water.

Keep your nose in the wind. In a sunny, but windy weather, you will not notice how you'll burn. Deceptive and long stay in the water. Not feeling the impact of the sun (and about 60% of the rays reach even at a depth of half a meter), you risk getting an overdose. If you are engaged in water sports, protect as much as possible the open parts of the body - face, palms, neck. Sunburn very "sticks" in motion. Be active, this is a plus and physical form, and an additional chance to become the owner of a beautiful tan. Just watch that your shoulders are not burned, and your legs do not remain pale.

The flash went out.

If all of the foregoing flies in your ear, and after a moment will fly through another, a chance to burn out is great. And do not say that we did not warn you! If trouble happens, do it like this:

Do not stay in the sun, the consequences can be the most deplorable. Hide from the "enemy" in the room and there in safety, put on the skin rescue creams from burns.

There is no cream - in Babushkin's way smeared with sour cream, kefir or yogurt. If sour cream quickly absorbed, smear on a new one, it means that the skin is still very irritated. Another way is a cucumber compress. Cut in circles and lay out on the body. More burns - more cucumbers.

Safety precautions.

1. If you have doubts about your skin (pimples, redness, peeling), before going to sea necessarily go to a dermatologist. Otherwise, you risk complicating complications or breaking pigmentation.

2. Do not make epilation - bio, laser, photo or electro - right before the trip. Goodbye to the sun should pass a minimum of 2-3 days.

3. Keep in mind that antibiotics and birth control pills are for photosensitive drugs. If the insert says "causes photosensitivity," be careful, and better consult a doctor.

4. Before going out, do not use alcohol-containing products (tonics, lotions) and perfumes. Alcohol in combination with sunlight can cause irritation and dryness of the skin, provoke the appearance of pigment spots.

5. Decoration on the beach is also better not to wear. Firstly, you can lose them, secondly, under them there will be unburned white stripes, and thirdly, the metals in the sun are heated, and you can earn a burn.

6. Pay special attention to birthmarks - large and bulging should get 2 times more sunscreen with maximum protection

7. Remember: self-tanning does not protect the skin from the effects of ultraviolet rays. Even if you use them, do not forget to spread yourself sunscreen with SPF.

8. Be sure to wipe the body with a towel immediately after bathing, small drops of water, like magnifying glasses, intensify the burn.

9. If the skin starts to peel, do not tear off dead pieces - instead of them, pigmented spots may remain. So smear cream and wait, when the skin itself falls off.
