Skin by the sea and in the mountains, here are all the tips to take care of it with natural cosmetics by Glam1965

The summer season has arrived and with it the long-awaited holidays. Those who can try to escape from the city heat by relaxing in a holiday resort by the sea, in the mountains or by the lake, taking advantage of the opportunity to treat themselves to a beautiful golden color. However, the desire to "disconnect" from the daily routine must not make us forget an important aspect: the protection of the skin from excessive exposure to sunlight.

Sun and skin often live in a constant "love-hate" relationship, especially during the summer, in which the beautiful days spent outdoors, by the sea, in the mountains or in the city are the protagonists. In order for the sun and skin to live in a pleasant but delicate balance, particular attention must be paid not only during direct exposure, but also afterwards. Stretching skin, redness and sunburn, loss of elasticity and the appearance of dark spots are among the main "summer symptoms". After each sun exposure it is therefore important to treat the skin with specific products, able to soothe and minimize some “annoying” effects of ultraviolet radiation.

What are the effects of summer on the skin?

The summer season leaves a radiant complexion on the skin and a feeling of rest, but these are not the only effects. Here's what happens to our skin in the summer:

• TAN. Sun exposure helps the body to develop Vitamin D, but exposure to the sun with the right protection is certainly important. Summer allows you to spend much more time in the air, improving skin oxygenation, but as a consequence it can suffer the effects of wind, salt water and UV rays, which is why it must be treated constantly.
• DEHYDRATION. The heat makes the skin dry and leads to dehydration of the entire body. Salt dehydrates the skin and therefore cleansing is important after a bath.
• SKIN AGING AND SPOTS. The sun's rays and heat do not act only on the surface. When on the beach or spending days walking in the mountains, wear a hat to protect your face and sunscreen. The sun, especially if it hits the skin in the middle of the day, is responsible for skin aging and sun spots.

What to do then to maintain the well-being of your skin without having to give up the benefits of the sun?

How to protect your skin at the sea and in the mountains

Both on the beach and on the high peaks, the skin must be protected with highly shielding products. Sunscreens protect not only from the phenomenon of photoaging which accelerates skin aging, favoring the appearance of blemishes such as skin spots, wrinkles and dry skin, but also from the potential development of skin tumors.

At the sea, try to stay under an umbrella during the hot hours of the day and put on good sun protection, removing the danger of sunburn and rashes. Next, apply a good after-sun cream. Remember to drink lots of water! At least a couple of liters a day to ensure proper hydration, especially if you stay in the sun for several hours.

Instead, for those who go to the mountains, they must remember that as the altitude increases, the intensity of the sun's rays also increases. Consequently, the risk of getting sunburn increases. The skin must be protected by a good sunscreen, for the protection of the eyes it is important to wear glasses. Preferably wear long-sleeved shirts and pants to protect your skin especially if you plan on taking a very long walk. Finally, before going to bed, moisturize your facial skin thoroughly.
