To see people hitting the beach, staying outdoors and sunbathing all day long is pretty commonplace during summer.
It is the season that gives people a license to stay under the sun for a prolonged period of time.
But the sun is damaging to the skin.
An average person only needs about 20 minutes of sun exposure in order to meet the daily Vitamin D requirement.
But if you are exposed to UV rays for a longer time, collagen fibers will get damaged and skin cells will get stressed out.
Let me tell you a few sunbathing tips that will surely save your skin from impending summer aging: 1.
Avoid excessive tanning.
The reason why your skin turns darker when exposed to UV rays is because it has received damages from the sun.
When ultraviolet rays attack skin tissues and cells, our integumentary system produces more melanin to counteract the damages of UV rays.
There are a lot of safer tanning processes that will give you the skin color you want without permanently damaging your skin.
You can try using those fake tanning remedies.
2.
Use the right sun block.
Choose carefully because there are a myriad of sun block products that only contain UVB protection.
UVA and UVB should be avoided.
UVA primarily causes dermis aging while UVB is the main culprit to skin cancer.
Look for a sun block product with a broad spectrum.
Make sure the SPF level is high enough.
If you plan to stay long outdoors, you should get a product with an SPF level of 45 or higher.
Using a product with an ingredient called helioplex might also help.
This ingredient can extend your protection from the sun.
3.
Get a good anti aging cream that can correct the damages your skin has acquired during the day.
It should contain the ingredients CynergyTK, Phytessence Wakame and Nano Lipobelle HEQ10.
CynergyTK is an ingredient that has been extracted from the wool of sheep.
It is made up of keratin, the protein needed to produce collagen and elastin.
With more collagen and elastin in your body, your skin will remain firm and supple all the time.
Phytessence Wakame is what you need to maintain healthy levels of hyaluronic acid.
This Japanese sea kelp can get rid of the enzymes that attack hyaluronic acid.
This acid is imperative for the lubrication of collagen fibers.
Nano Lipobelle HEQ10 is an antioxidant that contains powerful free radical-removing benefits.
It can penetrate up to the deepest layer of the skin to remove harmful free radicals.
