4 important steps for photoprotection

4 important steps for photoprotectionProtect against the sun is hot, but you can show off a healthy tan your skin care. This is an issue which we have referred on numerous occasions, be aware of the negative effects of the sun on our health is very important.

To answer your questions to this issue, we detail four important steps you need to enjoy the summer and sun with confidence, without negative consequences that we have to lament:

Step 1, the quantity: Apply the product generously, to be effective sunscreen. A study by American dermatologists confirmed that we normally apply a 50% of the amount of product recommended, when we are ensuring this happens only half the SPF protection chosen. Our advice is that you apply over the account, rather than on the remainder. Do it in front of a mirror to check that you are spreading the cream and half an hour before sun exposure.
Step 2, the time and place: We must never forget that the sun is most damaging to the skin in the middle of the day (12.00 to 16.00), even when the sky is overcast. Avoid exposure during these hours, take the opportunity to eat or to rest in the shade. The “danger” of the sun also varies according to location . In countries close to Ecuador, UV radiation levels can reach 20 (above 11 is considered extreme exposure), in Europe there typically exceeds 8, although the beaches are higher. We advise you to be attentive to the reactions of your body, if you notice the skin very taut, sweat excessively, you are more thirsty than usual or you have a headache, withdraw immediately from the sun.
Step 3, your outfit and time: As you face the sun has contamination, hat and sunglasses that completely block the passage of radiation. Use an SPF makeup and do not use products with alcohol to prevent stains. To get a good tan, it must be progressive. The first day does not pass the 15 minutes, increase the time gradually. Remember hydrated to prevent the risk of heatstroke. Stroll along the beach, this exercise helps you relax.
Step 4, the other cosmetics: If you use solar makeup, you’ve probably asked when you apply the sunscreen, the answer is expected at the end to lend sunscreen, because if you stretch out before and then you add a moisturizer or anti-acne product, can reduce or dilute without realizing the effectiveness of this filter. If you apply more than one product with sunscreen, keep in mind that protective factors do not add up, this means that an SPF of 8 and another 15 did not result in an SPF of 23.
