Is sunbathing good for you?
Dermatologists and other specialists have found that people who are too keen on sunburn are at risk of developing cancer. More than two dozen other ailments are known that are provoked by excessive insolation. It is no better that active sunbathers thereby age their skin. Yes, millions of people continue to get involved in this activity. A light, not too pronounced tan is rather beneficial. It promotes the production of vitamin D, improves mood and strengthens the body as a whole. A common mistake is being in the sun all the wayuntil the skin looks like a charred head.
The data on the real dangers of sunburn differ among different researchers and expert groups. But the statistics of malignant degeneration of the skin shows the situation much more clearly. In the southern areas, they are found many times more than in the cold northern regions. It is worth considering that sunscreens do not particularly reduce the risk of cancer.
The most aggressive type of neoplasm is melanoma - will occur regardless of the protective equipment used. But cosmetics of proven brands can prevent burns or significantly weaken them. And protection against squamous and basal cell carcinoma will not be superfluous. The high-risk group includes people with red and light hair, with white and especially white skin, with light blue or gray eyes. One sign is enough for the danger from the sun's rays to rise sharply. Children are also at risk. Do not use homemade home remedies for sun protection. They only mitigate the effects of burns, but are not able to exclude their occurrence.
Contrary to popular belief, the sun's rays are unable to cause the appearance of a rash in allergy sufferers... Such manifestations are the result of skin disorders of a different kind. It is worth remembering that the sun provokes follicular damage... Therefore, instead of reducing problems with acne and acne, they become more active, the total number increases, and "persistence" increases.
What do you need to take to the beach?
The question of how to sunbathe in the sun correctly cannot be reduced only to the correct daily routine and the choice of good hours of the day. Of course, you should stock up on suitable clothes (preferably made of cotton), towels (preferably made of flax, this material dries quickly and has antibacterial effects), rugs and plaids (made from breathable materials).
It is undesirable to neglect and sunscreen verified brands. Glasses will help prevent the appearance of small wrinkles and will give you the opportunity not to squint constantly. Beach umbrellas and white hats reduce the risk of sunstroke. It can still come in handy on the beach water, light food (e.g. fruits, vegetables, high calorie bars), book (magazine, crossword puzzle), player, a beach bag for carrying essential items.
What is the best way to sunbathe for children?
The question of how to sunbathe in the sun correctly for young vacationers is very relevant and should be acute for parents! Childhood skin produces relatively little melanin. Sunbathing up to 2 years old is impractical. Then even 5 minutes in good sun can provoke a severe burn. With light skin, the critical threshold rises to 3 - 5 years. The necessary information can be obtained from a pediatrician or dermatologist.
We recommend choosing places with diffused light, such as loungers under a sun canopy made from natural materials (for example, palm leaves).
Sunscreens are used only with an extreme degree of protective factors. Children still need water much more than adults, let's drink more often. It is necessary to accustom babies to tanning systematically, step by step increasing the exposure time. In the summer, first-graders and younger children should go for a walk in the sun no more than ¾ an hour a day. Preferably the time is no later than 12 noon.
What is the best time to go out in the sun?
This moment is important not only for children, but even for the strongest adults. To the question of how to sunbathe in the sun without harming the skin, experts answer unequivocally - first of all, this should be done in the mornings and evenings. At 8 - 11 and 16 - 20 o'clock exactly. You can start sunbathing from half of April... At first, you can expose yourself to warm rays for 60 minutes. This will develop a habit to sunlight, partially lost during the winter.
IN juneif the sun is not overly bright, you can be exposed to sun exposure for up to 12 hours. July - dangerous month; the sun is activated to the maximum. The insolation time will have to be shortened. On the first day, morning and evening procedures are maximum 60 minutes. On the second day - 120 and 180, on the third 150 and from 240 minutes, respectively.
The important question is how much better to sunbathe in time with extremely light skin. At first, you can be in the light for ¼ hours. In the evening - ½ hour (if the light is not too bright and there are no dermatological problems).
When can children sunbathe at sea? In resorts, for example in Vietnam, you should be in the sun until 11 am and leave only after 5 pm. In Turkey, morning bathing can be extended until 12 noon and leave after 4 pm.
How to get an even tan?
Before starting the procedures, you need to prepare - take shower, it is desirable to do peelingso that dead skin cells fall off. Then the darkening will be more accurate. In Turkey, the first thing we recommend is to go to the full procedure after the plane to hammam.
Doctors believe the time limit for melanin production is 50 minutes. It makes no sense to stay in the sun longer without a break. The destructive effect will manifest itself, and the positive result will be canceled. The level of protection provided by creams must also be taken into account - it should grow with a whiter epidermis and can be reduced with a darker coloration. But even dark-skinned individuals should not avoid creams. The power of solar radiation has a detrimental effect on them.
The cream or other sunscreen will have to be renewed 3 times per hour. From 11 am to 4 pm we recommend to be in a room or in a shaded place, or (if you have to be outside) - to walk in light clothing that covers your skin. Pumpkin crops, carrots, apricots, and peaches help speed up tanning. It is good to eat grapes and even coconut. If you don't like the hard carrots, the juice will do. To protect the skin, we recommend eating fresh tomatoes and a paste made from them. It is also useful to introduce vitamins C, E into the diet.
Are there any rules for exposure to the sun?
It turns out there are methods, you probably noticed how many pensioners on the coast by the sea spin every minute while taking sun baths and immediately run away into the shade. In fact, you can sunbathe correctly according to the Goltis method. The whole point is in the table below, where the numbers are the time in minutes. After passing the first cycle, we rest in the shade for 3 minutes and move on to cycle 2 ... So, for the whole day you have to complete 11 levels.
Whether it works or not, we do not know, but there are heated discussions and positive exclamations from many regions of the Russian Federation on the forums.
The best tanning products
Spray oils are recommended to be used after getting a light blush. They will allow it to hold and at the same time stabilize the balance of substances inside the skin. Dry oil is used in a similar manner. It is required to lay it out in a uniform layer over the sections. Usually, a small portion is warmed in the hands, rubbing with palms, and gently rubbed in when already warmed up. Other creams and sunburn are applied before sun exposure.
There are also formulations with an effect that prolongs the effect of melanin production. You can not use any composition if you have already received a sunburn. Also, you cannot use cosmetics used in tanning salons for going to the beaches. It will not block ultraviolet light, since such a task is not set when developing a recipe. In both cases, coconut oil will work. With it, the epidermis is saturated with moisture, the skin does not age, the formation of melanin is accelerated.
A mixture of coffee beans with peanut butter or a dry leaf of a series with the color of pharmacy chamomiles is used at home. Homemade recipes don't replace the need for special cosmetics! Better among them to focus on the products of leading specialized firms.
It is necessary to take into account the phototype of the skin, the smell of the substance and the absence of lumps. Experienced tourists in reviews often recommend means of the Lancaster, Loreal Paris, Nivea brands, Eveline waterproof emulsions. We recommend using proven and inexpensive means, in most products the composition is the same.
Skin care after sun exposure
At this moment, you need cosmetics with moisturizing effect... For care, we recommend using your usual lotions and creams. At the resort and 96 hours after arriving from rest, you need to use a specialized restorative drug. Tourists in the reviews advise Bioelia, Egia, Guerlain, Darphin, Super Aqua-Mask. After-sun cosmetics contain vitamins B (to activate hydration) and E (suppressing free radicals). Natural components are required that accelerate regeneration (oils, glycerin). But rough scrubs and peels are unacceptable.
What if burned out in the sun?
The first step is to cool the skin shower or with a strong jet from the tap, and we recommend doing this every half hour without wiping off completely. Wipe off moisture with a dry towel and use an aerosol. Moisturizing deep-lying tissues is done with homemade compounds - fermented milk masks... Small areas such as nose, ears, forehead - cucumber gruel or aloe juice.
All sorts of moisturizers will also come in handy. But lotions for alcohol and petroleum jelly are prohibited. Sprays are considered ideal. But you need to know that some of them are intended for severe burns that threaten infection, and others for light injuries. In an acute condition, antipyretic and anti-allergic drugs are used. Be sure to compensate for dehydration with plenty of drinking.
Can pregnant women sunbathe?
The question of whether pregnant women can sunbathe is of interest to hundreds of thousands of people. Yes, sunlight boosts vitamin D production and helps control rickets. But the requirements are stricter than those of ordinary people - tanning from 11 to 12 o'clock and from 18 o'clock in the evening. You will have to drink water more actively.
