If you are a fan of basking in the sun during the winter months, just like us, don’t forget to take precautions or the sun can really cause damage to your skin. Here are some easy to follow tips to keep in mind while you sit in the sun for hours.
Do not ignore lip balms
Not just the face, your lips also need protection from Uv rays. If you do not protect it, it will be dry and dull. Not only this, it will slowly start appearing dark. So before going in the sun, make sure to apply a good SPF lip balm. Apart from giving protection to your lips, it will also keep it soft-smooth.
Sunglasses are also necessary
Like the lips, your eyes also need protection. If you do not protect your eyes from the sun, then dark circles and wrinkles can cause problems. So before going out, keep sunglasses with you and wear it to protect your eyes.
Drink plenty of water
When you get out in the sun, sweat causes a lot of water to drain from your body. If you do not compensate, the skin will dehydrate and look dull. So drink as much water as you can, not just at home. Also drink fresh fruit juice.
Avoid using products with retinoids
There are many ingredients that react in the sun to cause skin allergies. Retinoids and hydrocortisone are among these. If they are present in your cream or lotion, do not leave them in the sun after applying them.
