Ah, who does not love the spring sun? A hot hot summer weather? And the sun ... the sun ... the sea of the sun. And where there is a sun, there will always be someone who will not miss the opportunity to lift his face upwards and smiling, anxiously waiting for a gentle, bronze color, the first tan.
Is tan useful?
Many people think that sunburn not only gently gilds the skin, but also heals it, bringing it to a good state. But no matter how! Cosmetologists vigorously trumpet about the harm of direct sunlight.
Sunburn, in the first place, is a reaction to protect the body from ultraviolet radiation. Despite all the "precautionary measures" that our planet gave us (yes, yes, it is the ozone layer and the magnetic field), there remains a small part of the bodies, waves and substances that negatively affect human health and health. In our case, one more biological defense reaction is the skin. It is they who are in extreme situations (like the direct rays of the sun) that save our body from the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays. Therefore, a tan is an extra stress that our body receives.
Many people have noted that as the sun is slightly warming up - and the skin of the face is already in freckles, the pigmented spots are full of yawning in the open parts of the body, skin peeling begins. In addition, the skin coarsens, thickens, dries, becomes unpleasant touch. And this, not to mention the possibility of obtaining a sunburn, this may be enough for a cool spring sun, especially with the wind.
Is it all bad?
But do not say that the sunburn is too harmful and bad and that from the fire, in addition to the negative, nothing is waiting for you. Of course, you can not give up sunbathing. Therefore, it is necessary to take some measures, which will be written below, in order to maintain your health and not to harm the body.
One of the compromises can serve as a tanning in the shade: in this case, the skin acquires a delicate bronze shade without great stress. In addition, you are less likely to "burn" or get a burn or sunstroke. Thus, the sun will spare your skin, and you will be satisfied with the result!
Another compromise may be the fire in the hours when the sun is inactive. For our latitude, this time is sutra until eleven and from sixteen hours to evening. Staying freshly at this time can even lower blood pressure and improve the feeling. And this is not talking about pleasure!
How to protect your body from harmful effects?
First of all, you need to say that you need to protect your skin every day. In addition, to prevent the development of melanoma (cancer) or the common occurrence of freckles and "peeling" skin on the shoulders is much easier than then to deal with these consequences.
At first. Special protective creams. These cosmetics should not miss harmful sun rays. Every time before you go out, you must wash your face and apply the cream (somewhere in 20-30 minutes before going out). This procedure will protect your skin for two to three hours. To strengthen the effect, you can use any powder of dark shade. In this state, you will receive protection for three to four hours. As for the part of the face around the eyes, it is better not to use protective creams, but to apply to these sites the best nourishing creams.
Secondly. Proper nutrition. The inclusion in the diet of foods rich in vitamin C and PP (ascorbic and nicotinic acids, respectively), will weaken the sensitivity of the skin to ultraviolet rays. To such products are the hips, green apples, onions, red and black currants (juice), sour cabbage, etc.
Thirdly. Effects on skin defects that have already appeared. Whitening of freckles and pigment spots is attributed here. You can advise such a recipe for gentle bleaching: handle problem areas of the skin 1-2 times a day with a mixture of 50 g of 3 per cent hydrogen peroxide and 2 grams of ammonia. Processing should be up to 10-15 minutes.
You can also use special bleaching creams. However, here there are several nuances. To put such cream costs or stands in the evening, for an hour-two before a dream not to strengthen a pigmentation of a skin under the influence of the sun. Again, all procedures should be performed only after cleansing the skin with lotion or after washing with soap (for dry and oily skin, respectively). The procedure is repeated every day for a week, then take a break for a couple of days (2-3) and repeat the course.
Remember that a disease is better to warn than to cure it. This is easier, and will increase immunity, and not so will hit on a pocket. Be beautiful and healthy!
