Good skincare is the be-all and end-all when it comes to keeping your skin healthy and radiant. Especially in the warm and sunny season, it is important to prepare the skin specifically for the sun in order to avoid long-term damage.
A healthy and balanced diet rich in antioxidants can help prepare the skin for the sun. Provitamin A, C, E, B2, zinc and copper can help protect skin cells from UV rays and free radicals. Carrots, tomatoes, red peppers, cabbage and citrus fruits are rich in these vitamins and minerals and should be regularly included in your diet.
Drinking enough is very important for healthy and radiant skin. Adequate hydration ensures that the skin is sufficiently moisturized and therefore remains elastic and supple. Sufficient hydration can also prepare the skin for the sun. This is because sweating causes the body to lose fluids and therefore also important minerals and trace elements, which are essential for healthy skin.
Targeted and regular cleansing of the skin helps to keep the acid mantle in balance. To do this, use mild cleansing products that do not dry out the skin. Exfoliants can also help to prepare the skin for the sun by removing dead skin cells and promoting blood circulation.
Intensive moisturizing care with highly concentrated serums and creams can help to protect the skin from UV rays and prevent premature skin aging. These products often contain particularly moisturizing active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid or aloe vera and can help to keep the skin supple and elastic. Especially in summer, when the skin is increasingly exposed to UV rays, targeted moisturizing care is particularly important. This is because dry skin is more susceptible to sun damage and can dry out more quickly.
To prepare the skin for the sun, it is important to slowly acclimatize it to the sun. Start with short sunbathing sessions of 10-15 minutes with adequate sun protection. Use a sunscreen with at least SPF 30, better still SPF 50. Make sure that the sunscreen is waterproof and renew it every 2 hours.
Overall, careful skin care is of great importance to prepare the skin for the sun and prevent possible damage. A healthy diet with plenty of antioxidants, sufficient fluids and targeted cleansing of the skin help to keep the acid mantle in balance and protect the skin. Intensive moisturizing with highly concentrated serums and creams can help to protect the skin from UV rays and prevent premature skin aging. Sunbathing should also be approached slowly, preferably with adequate sun protection and never going out in the sun without protection. Drinking enough fluids is also important to support the skin from the inside out and prepare it for the sun. If you follow these simple tips, you can enjoy healthy and radiant skin even in the sunny season.
