Summer Sun Protection Tips: How to Protect Your Skin from the Sun?

When the summer months come, it is inevitable to encounter the effects of the sun. The sun's harmful UV rays can damage our skin and increase the risk of possible skin conditions. However, we can minimize these risks by taking correct sun protection measures. So how can we protect the skin from the sun? Here are summer sun protection tips:

one.        Use of Sunscreen: Using sunscreen is one of the most important steps in protecting your skin from UV rays. Choose a sunscreen with a protection factor of at least SPF 30 and remember to reapply every two hours and after swimming or sweating.

2.        At the lake: Avoid going out during peak sun hours (noon hours). If you must be outside, be sure to spend time in shaded areas.

3.        Clothing Selection: You can protect your skin from direct sunlight by wearing long-sleeved, loose-fitting and dark-coloured clothes.

4.        Sun-protective accessories: Hat and glasses. Wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses to protect your head and eyes from the sun.

5.        Water Consumption: Under the influence of the sun, the body's water consumption increases. It is important to drink water regularly. Water can reduce the negative effects of the sun by maintaining your skin's moisture balance.

6.        Skin Care: You can soothe your skin and speed up its healing by doing skin care after sun exposure. You can use natural moisturizers like aloe vera or after-sun lotions.

7.        Precautions Against Sunspots: To prevent or reduce sunspots, use sun protection cream regularly and check your skin regularly.
