Beaches are essential summer spots. Concerned about sunburn or darker skin post-beach? Check out these skin protection and recovery tips.
Pre-Beach Skin Care Essentials
Effective skin care: Reduce exfoliation 2-3 days before beach visits to lessen skin sensitivity and sunburn likelihood.
Hydrate and moisturize to counteract the drying and dehydrating effects of sea breezes.
Enhance your skin's sun defense with natural masks like tomato or green tea.
Sunscreen Application Tips
Choose sunscreens with an SPF of 30 or higher for effective protection against UVA and UVB rays, ensuring they are water and sweat-resistant.
Proper sunscreen application is essential.
Apply sunscreen 30 minutes before going to the beach, reapply after 30 minutes of sun exposure, and then every 2 hours.
Use the right amount of sunscreen for the beach: 25-30g (about six teaspoons) for the body and 2.5g for the face.
Children should use a specific sunscreen suitable for their skin.
Note: Skin is most susceptible to sunburn around midday. Avoid exposure before 10 AM or after 4 PM to lessen the impact of UVA and UVB rays.
Natural Sunburn Remedies
Fresh Aloe Vera: Apply directly to soothe and cool sunburnt skin, leaving it on for about 30 minutes.
Yogurt: A thin layer not only soothes but also adds moisture to the skin.
Warm Tea Bags: Apply warm tea bags from the supermarket to the eye area to alleviate pain, itching, and sensitivity.
Skin Nourishing Masks After the Beach
Cucumber and Milk Mask: Juice cucumber and mix with an equal amount of milk. Apply on the skin for 10-15 minutes before rinsing. For best results, use twice a week in the evening.
Oatmeal Mask: Combine oatmeal, yogurt, and tomato juice. Apply evenly on the face for about 20 minutes, then rinse with cold water.
Green Bean Powder Mask: Mix 1 spoon of green bean powder with 2 spoons of fresh milk, 1 spoon of turmeric powder, and a few drops of rose water. Apply to the face for 15-20 minutes and rinse with warm water. This mask is great for exfoliating, nourishing the skin, and treating dark spots.
