Remember how the song sang: "Summer is a small life"? And in order to have something to remember in winter, let's live this hot summer on the beach! But beach life should not turn into an uncontrolled stay under the scorching sun. To avoid health problems, you should follow simple guidelines on how to properly sunbathe on the beach.
Exposure to the sun becomes detrimental to the skin after 15 minutes of a person's stay under the scorching rays. Sunbathing correctly does not mean that you have to wallow for hours in the sun waiting for a chocolate-colored skin. The fact is that melanin, or the pigment that stains the skin, is produced by the body only in the first 50 minutes of exposure to the sun. But to spoil a tan and even provoke the appearance of serious diseases, an excessive dose of solar radiation can be quite simple. For young children, prolonged exposure to the sun is too risky: for them, a sunburn in childhood increases the risk of getting skin cancer in adulthood by 20 times. Before you go to sunbathe on the beach, you need to prepare your skin. Clean the skin, tired of winter, from dead cells with a scrub, smear with protective milk before going to the beach, use a cream on the beach so as not to burn. The sunburn will develop more slowly, but will immediately take on a beautiful chocolate color and will lie more evenly. By the way, sunbathing can cure a number of dermatological diseases. Avoid makeup on the beach. No foundation will protect your face from sun damage and burns, and some cosmetics can even draw in excess sun rays. The heat and water on the beach will surely blur your makeup. It is not recommended to use scrubs after sunbathing on the beach. After tanning in the sun, let your skin recover from exposure to hot rays - do not remove the top layer from it with scrubs. If you are sunburned, you can use a folk remedy - sour cream or kefir. But there are special restorative creams after sunburn with a moisturizing, cooling and soothing effect. They can be used not only in case of sunburn, but also after proper sunbathing - they effectively prevent peeling and make the tan persistent.
