SUMMERS :HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR SKIN
Ultraviolet
A (UVA): The longest wavelength of the sun, which can penetrate your
skin's deepest layer and Sun damage can activate free radicals which promote
skin aging.
Ultraviolet
B (UVB): This wavelength penetrates the skin's upper layer, and can cause
sunburn, allergic reactions and skin cancers.
Ultraviolet
C (UVC): These rays are filtered by the ozone layer and they're the most
damaging rays.
Infra-red (IR):
This is the "heat" from the sun and have negatively impact on
collagen, elastic and your immune system.
Stay
out of the sun between the hours of 10am and 3pm. The hottest part of the day
during the summer is the most damaging time so avoid as much as possible
exposer to the skin from radiations. Get your exercise and
activities done in the earlier, cooler hours, or in the later, cooler hours of
the day.
Avoid
spraying perfume on your skin in the sun. The paleness in perfume
(especially in citrus perfumes) can permanently stain your skin when they react
with the sun. During the summertime, it is recommended that you should spray
fragrance on clothes rather than on skin.
Wear
protective clothing over your skin. A lot of clothing in outdoor
stores and fashion stores has a UV protection rating cheek on them and if suits
to your pocket use them;-
·Wear
a hat. Your facial skin will benefit from a permanent ring of shade over it in
the heat of the sun.
·Wear sunglasses to
protect your sensitive eye skin (and eyes). Eyes are prone to melanomas and
cataracts, and the sensitive skin around your eyes is prone to fast aging.
Eat
healthy foods. A healthy skin comes
from eating well and summer is the ideal time to make dietary changes for the
better. Cut down on sugar and refined processed foods which create
unbalanced blood sugar Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, salads, steamed,
raw, or as part of a recipe dish. include whole grains in your daily diet too,
including the ancient grains.
·Yogurt is
a healthy addition to your diet; just be sure it's sugar free and natural.
·No-fat
or low-fat diets will cause your skin to dry, wrinkle and age You need essential in
your diet to keep your skin moist and supple. The answer is to exclude
unhealthy fats (hydrogenated, trans fats, and heat or light damaged fats) from
your diet but to keep using healthy fats daily. Nuts and seeds and fresh fish
are excellent sources of good fats.
Drink
plenty of water. Hydrated skin is better skin
and it's easy for skin to become parched during the summer months. Dehydration
results in dry skin, frown-lines, spots, a sluggish complexion and a lack of
"glow".Drink water regularly throughout the day, preferably between
meals (drinking during meals can dilute the nutrients from food). Water
will both hydrate your skin and flush out toxins that can mar your complexion
