❶ Rest At Sea. How To Avoid Getting Burned?

All year round beach lovers are ready to get out to the sea. The pleasure of swimming in seawater, sandy beaches and the sound of the surf is incomparable. But prolonged exposure to the sun threatens the inhabitants of the middle lane with certain dangers. Location: Location: Smooth, beautiful tan has long been considered in Europe a sign of success, health and sexuality. Leaving to the sea, the ladies sunbathed uncontrollably, not suspecting that uncontrolled exposure to the sun would harm the body. The most at risk are people of fair skinned European type, with blond hair and blue, green or gray eyes.

Sunburn is the result of melanin in the body. To acquire a beautiful, even shade for a long time, you need to introduce food products into your diet two weeks before the trip, which enhance the production of this pigment. Melon, apricots and peaches are rich in beta-carotene, carrots are rich in pro-carotene, tomatoes - in lycopene, spinach - in lutein. All these products saturate the body with B vitamins, carotenoids and microelements that reduce the risk of sunburn and contribute to an even, beautiful tan that will last for a long time.

These fruits and vegetables prepare the body for sun exposure. It is useful to start taking collagen preparations, as the sun's rays destroy it and the skin becomes dry, prone to irritation and ages quickly.

Also, take care in advance of purchasing a series of products of different degrees of protection for the face and body. The choice of protection factor depends on the skin type and age. Children under 3 and people over 40 should not be in the sun at all. Everyone else should avoid sunbathing between 11 am and 4 pm. At this time, the sun is especially aggressive. Water and sand enhance the effect of ultraviolet radiation, so it is recommended to constantly be under the awning, especially since the tan acquired in the shade is more uniform, golden and lasts much longer.

Apply sunscreen 20-30 minutes before sunbathing. During this time, the cream will be absorbed into the skin, and its effect will be longer. For face, neck and décolleté, choose the maximum degree of protection (at least 30), especially in the early days. The skin in these areas is most susceptible to age-related changes that are caused by exposure to ultraviolet radiation - dryness, pigmentation, the appearance of a fine mesh of wrinkles, peeling. After a few days, when the body is covered with the first tan, you can reduce the degree of protection to 10-8 units and add oil that fixes the shade.

Be sure to carry after-sun products that contain antioxidants and hyaluronic acid. They moisturize and nourish skin that is exposed to UV stress.

For severe sunburn, use panthenol medications to reduce skin inflammation and promote skin regeneration.

Remember that only if you follow these simple rules, staying by the sea and sunbathing will bring real pleasure and will not harm the body.
