Now that temperatures are rising and the days are getting longer, it's tempting to head to the beach or pool to enjoy the warmth and rays. But before you rush into the beginning of summer, let us remind you of something very important: the care and well-being of your skin.
At Botánicapharma we have a phrase that we repeat and will repeat tirelessly: Sun protection is non-negotiable. Why do we insist so much on this point?
Solar radiation is a vital source of energy from the sun. Not only does it provide us with much-needed vitamin D to keep our bones strong and our immune system in shape, but it also provides a host of physical and emotional benefits that make us feel good and happier.
However, like everything in life, it's important to find a balance. Excessive exposure to solar radiation can cause irreversible damage to our skin, such as photoaging, sunburn, and even increase the risk of developing skin cancer and melanoma.
To protect ourselves from these harmful effects, we want to share with you a series of essential tips that will help you sunbathe consciously and safely.
- Protect the areas most exposed daily: The face, neckline, neck and hands are especially vulnerable to photoaging due to their constant exposure to the sun's rays.
- Apply sunscreen correctly: Make sure you apply it half an hour before going out in the sun, using the right amount, and remember to reapply it every two hours or after a swim.
- Do not neglect sensitive areas: The nape of the neck, ears, insteps, back of the knee and armpits also need protection.
- Use protective accessories: Don't go out without your sunglasses, hat, or cap. They're essential to protect your eyes, skin, and scalp.
- Choose quality products: Choose sunscreens with a high or very high SPF, formulated with safe and effective filters. Look for those that also contain moisturizing and antioxidant active ingredients for complete care.
- Avoid direct exposure during peak sun hours: seek shade and take extra precautions when the sun is at its highest.
- Do not use expired sunscreens: Always follow the manufacturer's instructions to ensure the product's effectiveness.
The best product is the one that adapts to your skin's needs. In our line of sunscreens, you'll find the one that's right for you.
Below we'll explain some of its possible uses. If your situation is different, please ask us; we'll be happy to provide personalized advice.
