Summer: 9 simple rules for using Sanskrin
margarita virova
Do not get tired of reminding about the importance of sun protection all year round. And we continue to rejoice in the fact that modern means each year bring us less and less pain when used. The main rule of protection from the sun - do not forget that it is necessary to apply Sanskrin daily: it is simple, but not always convenient. We talk about nine techniques that will help to use means for sun protection with maximum comfort.
Calculate the required amount of funds, focusing on your own needs
It is often recommended to apply on the face a Sanskrin amount equal to a third or a quarter of a teaspoon: according to the FDA standard, 2 mg should be used for one square centimeter of skin. Measuring spoon for Sanskrin and the truth can be a useful tool: many of us put much less money than necessary. Nevertheless, remember that people have different faces, and sunscreens may be denser or lighter. Start with a minimum amount (the same third of a teaspoon), and then select individually. Immediately after application, the product should lie in a uniform, tangible layer - later its part will be absorbed. If sanskrin flows, and the stains are visible on the skin ten to fifteen minutes after application, next time try to take a little less.
Choose a texture that suits your skin.
The formats of sunscreens are not limited to thick cream, which is not suitable for everyone in the sock: although it is this texture that remains the most reliable, you can look for other options or combine products. If you have oily skin, choose matting fluids and gels; if dry, look for the word “moisturizing” on the tube. Sprays and sticks are a good option for updating security during the day, especially on the beach and traveling. If you use make-up, choose a powder or tinting agent with a protection function: be sure to combine these products with an independent sanskrin of a comfortable texture. As a rule, makeup products cannot provide the required level of security: it is impossible to apply them in large quantities, and their decorative skills usually prevail over defensive ones.
If possible, select several different tools.
One good Sanskrin can be used on all parts of the body throughout the sunny season, but if you spend the summer actively and your care needs to be adjusted to different circumstances, you can stock up on a couple of different means. When traveling, it is better to be safe from using products with the SPF 50+ protection factor, and for the city it is enough to have an SPF 30 value. If you have skin that does not require special care, you can choose the most inexpensive ones, and you can use a rather dense sanskrin for the face. on the open shoulders, arms and neck. In any case, save the tube until next year is not worth it (remember about the instability of the ingredients), so do not be afraid to use the right tool to the maximum.
Update the remedy layer during the day.
This applies to any sunscreen products - for the time you are in the sun, they are not only absorbed and lubricated, but also gradually lose their properties as a result of interaction with the sun and the environment. The ideal refresh interval is ninety minutes, but you can try to remember the ritual every two to three hours. If you spend time on the beach, apply a sunscreen product after swimming, and while in the open sun during peak hours, reduce the intervals between application. Light and sensitive skin reacts to radiation faster, therefore it will require constant updating of the product, even if you plan to spend most of the hot day in the shade.
Any level of protection is good.
If you do not have a reliable tool with a high protection factor, use all that is - you will provide your skin with at least partial or short-term protection. Trying to conjure is not worth it: recall that the SPF values are not cumulative, so use the tool with the highest protection factor as the main one - tonal means, powder, basic moisturizing creams will do. If the degree of protection of the chosen remedy is low, try to spend as little time as possible in the open sun and leave the house in comfortable clothing covering the body.
Apply the product to all exposed areas of the body.
Shoulders, neck, ears, legs, hands - everything that can burn is in need of protection, so a separate sanskrin for the body will not be overkill. Nevertheless, almost any sunscreen for the face is suitable for use on the skin of the body. For sensitive and reactive skin with features, this rule often does not work the other way around: the tool may be too heavy for especially sensitive areas and areas where the skin is especially thin. Pay a lot of attention to the face: the product should be applied under the eyes, right up to the eyelash growth line, and on the lips - even the simplest balm with a protection factor above SPF 15 will be a sufficient investment in combating ultraviolet radiation.
Apply Sanskrin after all other cosmetics.
Sunscreen protects physically as well - that is, the layer should remain on the skin as long as possible without damage. Apply Sanskrin after all the usual care rituals and wait until the skin absorbs the right amount of moisturizing product. Fortunately, this stage can be simplified using a moisturizing Sanskrin or your usual cream with an “added” sunscreen function - summer analogues are produced by many popular brands. When planning your make-up, reduce the impact on the Sanskrin layer to a minimum: do not smudge, but nail in decorative cosmetics with light movements.
Choose hygienic packaging.
It is better to refuse funds in banks with a lid, among which there are a lot of good ones, if you actively use sun protection. Sanskrin in an opaque package with a pump or spout will remain in pristine condition longer, it is easier to share with friends, and it will eliminate the need to wash hands thoroughly before each application. Remember that any cosmetics can change the texture under the influence of high temperatures: do not throw a beach bag with your treasures under the scorching sun and do not hold sanskrin on a well-lit window sill.
Rinse Sanskrin as good as removing makeup.
It seems that during the day the protective screen disappears without a trace - this, alas, is not so, especially if you do not neglect the update. Remains of filters and other components remain on the skin for a long time and mix with other impurities, so to remove sunscreen it is better to use two-stage cleansing: if you notice that your skin reacts to Sanskrin with inflammations, you can try giving the remedy one more chance, combining it with reliable products for washing and removing makeup.
