Ein Tag am Strand: Wie Strandbesucher ihre Haut in diesem Sommer schützen können
Sommerziel: Entspannung am Strand.
Während Sie einen Sommerroman lesen, Ihre Bräune auffrischen und den Kindern beim Sandburgenbauen zusehen, sollten Sie nicht vergessen, Ihre Haut zu pflegen. Wir wissen, dass Sie sich mit Sonnencreme eincremen (Gesicht und Körper!) und diese nach einem Bad im Wasser erneut auftragen, aber wussten Sie, dass Sie noch mehr tun können?
Der Mai ist der Monat des Hautkrebsbewusstseins. Deshalb verraten wir Ihnen, wie Sie Ihre Augen und Ihre Haut schützen können, während Sie in der Sonne liegen. Egal, ob Sie den Strand, den Pool oder die Terrasse bevorzugen, wenden Sie diese einfachen Tipps an und teilen Sie sie mit einem Freund.
Stay Hydrated
Your skin needs ample moisture inside and out on hot days. Drink chilled water and electrolyte-filled beverages such as coconut water throughout the day to feel your best. When it comes to snack time, choose moisture-dense fresh watermelon, fruit smoothies, and leafy green salads.
Wear a Hat
From stylish baby bonnets to kids caps to trendy wide-brim floppy hats, there are plenty of options for keeping direct sun rays at bay. Avid swimmers can use swim caps that coordinate with their swimwear to avoid too much sun on their scalps.
Use Eye Protection
Start with sunglasses that block harmful UV rays.
Swimmers can transition to tinted swim goggles during their time in the water. Goggles help cut down on direct sun reflections that could damage your eyes and exposure to irritating salty ocean water or chlorinated pool water.
Pick Appropriate Sunscreen
The American Academy of Dermatology recommends using a broad spectrum, SPF 30 or higher sunscreen. Rub about a teaspoon of sunscreen formulated for delicate facial skin onto your neck and face and a few tablespoons of body sunscreen over all exposed skin below your neck. Apply more sunscreen each time you towel off, perspired a lot, and when you get out of the water.
Cover Your Skin
If you’re soaking in the sun from a lounge chair or hammock, opt for a sundress or long loose pants and a top with sleeves. Lightweight linens keep you comfortable and minimize direct sun exposure. Small children can wear sleeved swimsuits and surfer’s rash guard swimwear.
Try SPF Makeup
Not swimming? If you’re staying dry for the day and wear foundation, lipstick or eyeshadow, choose formulas infused with SPF. This adds an extra layer of protection to your delicate facial skin atop the sunscreen.
Use an Parasol
When picking the perfect spot at the beach, choose an area with an parasol. It provides a cool shady hang-out between activities and serves as home base for kids. At Tuuci®, we use Sunbrella Fabric since they’re recommended by The Skin Cancer Foundation.
Nobody wants their summer ruined with burned skin or irritated eyes. With a little planning and adding a few extras to the beach bag, you can enjoy the sun (and healthy skin) all summer long!
