Skin Care: Here’s How to Take Care of Your Skin in Summer~

When the intense heat of summer begins in earnest, the high temperatures, fluctuating humidity,

and ultraviolet rays, along with various other external factors, make you pay more attention to skin care.

How should you take care of your skin in the sweaty summer months?

▷ Be sure to apply sunscreen ◁

The Skin Cancer Foundation in the United States reports that 90% of non-melanoma skin cancers are related to sun exposure.

However, most people in Korea do not pay much attention to ultraviolet rays.

In fact, 49% of men and 29% of women reportedly did not use sunscreen in the past 12 months.

One reason is that they do not know what to apply or how long it lasts.

It is a good idea to apply sunscreen not only in summer but throughout all four seasons.

▷ Apply sunscreen properly ◁

Even people who diligently apply sunscreen often do not know the correct way to use it.

In fact, they often do not know how much or how often they should reapply it.

According to a survey by the Skin Cancer Foundation, men rarely reapply sunscreen.

More than 60% believed that one application would protect them for at least four hours.

It is best to reapply sunscreen every two hours.

If you are swimming or sweating heavily, you should reapply it more often.

Areas not covered by clothing or a hat should be applied especially carefully.

▷ Be sure to wear sunglasses ◁

Strong sunlight can have a negative effect on the eyes.

If you do not protect your eyes when the sun is intense,

there may be a higher risk of retinal damage or vision loss.

Therefore, it is a good idea to wear sunglasses properly, especially in the summer when the sunlight is strong.

It is wise to choose a product that can block 99% of UVA and UVB rays.

If it is hard to choose on your own, seeking advice from a professional is also a good idea.

Sunglasses can also help prevent fine wrinkles caused by squinting in bright light.

▷ If you have had waxing or shaving, calm your skin down ◁

Sometimes people go into the water right after shaving, waxing, or hair removal.

However, at that time, the skin is very sensitive and can easily become inflamed.

If you plan to play in the water, it is safest to finish your beauty care at least two to three hours beforehand.

▷ Adequate hydration is needed ◁

Skin gets thirsty when it is hot, too.

That is because sunlight takes moisture away from the skin.

This can lead to dead skin cells and even cracked skin.

So even if it is hot and you feel sticky from sweating,

it is important to apply plenty of lotion and moisturizer.

It is also good to manage your body so that moisture does not escape.

Be sure to drink enough water, and eating foods rich in moisture such as watermelon, cucumber, and peaches

can also be helpful.
