Tips for Staying Safe in the Sun
Do you know the precautions to be taken to prevent the effects of the sun from the beginning and staying safe in the sun, instead of removing the effects of the sun?
When the words skin and summer come together, the first thing that comes to mind is the procedures performed in autumn to eliminate the negative effects of the sun, especially on the face. Well, isn’t it necessary to prepare the skin for summer?
Rather than preparing the skin for summer, it is necessary to keep the skin safe in the sun. For this, it is recommended to use a medical sunscreen regardless of summer or winter. This is a rule that must be followed, especially in the summer months. During the summer, it may be necessary to apply the cream not once, but several times, and it is recommended to have at least SPF 30. Sunscreen has other benefits as well. It can also have antioxidant, concealer or extra protective properties against staining. These also need attention.
The power of water is important
Another important point when it comes to skin care is hydration. Especially in the summer months, which is recommended to be used in the winter months, it is necessary to use a skin moisturizer. It is recommended that these products be moisturizing, not lubricating.
Although expensive brands come to mind when it comes to skin moisturizer, it is important to choose medical products with a price-performance balance. It is necessary to drink at least 1.5-2 liters of water a day to ensure skin hydration.
Today, there are patients who prefer solarium rather than sunbathing. However, solarium is not recommended as it can lead to skin cancers and skin aging in the future. It should not be forgotten that the more you are exposed to ultraviolet rays, the more DNA damage and skin aging will occur in your cells. It is essential to protect the upper lip, nose and auricles very well from the sun. Since skin cancers and aging are the most exposed and protruding areas, they generally begin to develop in these areas. It is very important to apply to a dermatologist by taking the wounds that do not heal for two weeks in the said areas seriously.
Watch out for the sun rays coming from the left
Even if sunglasses are used in the summer, squinting at the eyes causes wrinkles called “crow’s feet” to appear around the eyes. Since the sun comes from the left side, it is seen that the left side of the face is affected more than the right side, especially for those who drive. If there is no film on the vehicle windows, the sunscreen should be applied more on the left side of the face.
What is the ideal period for Botox and fillers? What should be considered in order to be protected from the negative effects of sun rays?
There is no ideal period for Botox and fillers. It can always be done. It is unnecessary to do it for periods of less than six months. Since there are so many filler brands, there are also a lot of time options. The shortest one can start from three months and extend up to 1.5-2 years.
In the choice of filler, fully fusible material is less risky in terms of reaction. It should also be noted that the fillers are approved by the pharmaceutical and health institutions of various countries, such as the FDA. Applications containing Botox, fillers and hyaluronic acid are important in order to retain and regain moisture in the dehydrated parts of the body.
Botox is applied especially to the areas around the eyes and between the eyebrows during the summer months. Since we squint our eyes due to sunlight in summer, these areas become more wrinkled.
One of the most important tasks of hyaluronic acid in our body is to retain water in the subcutaneous tissue. The use of hyaluronic acid on the lips to moisturize the lips that have been exposed to the sun, salty or chlorinated water stands out as an effective anti-aging method.
As a result; Although medical sunscreen and moisturizer are the most effective products for the negative effects of sun rays, it is necessary to avoid cosmetic products in this area.
