1. lips
problem: I diligently apply sunscreen to my face and body, but neglect to protect my lips. However, since lips are covered with mucous membranes rather than skin, they are particularly sensitive because they do not contain melanin (the pigment that protects the skin from radiation damage). Furthermore, they do not have an active epidermal barrier to protect themselves from water loss.
solution: To protect your lips from radiation damage, incorporate the use of lip protection products with at least SPF 30 into your summer skincare. Also keep in mind that licking your lips doesn’t moisturize them, it actually dries them out and even removes the radiation filter.Therefore, it is important to reapply frequently
2. Scalp
problem: The hot days tend to make the scalp more sensitive in the summer. Because it is covered with hair, it is prone to sweating and inflammation.
solution: Shampoo every day in the summer. No need to worry. Daily washing will not damage your hair.
Bald man? take notes! Without hair, the scalp is the first and most prone to sunburn because it is exposed to more direct sunlight than the rest of the body. So wear a hat and apply sunscreen.
3. Feet
problem: Invest in caring for the rest of your body, but it’s easy to forget about your feet. But summer brings two challenges for the skin of his feet. Walking in closed shoes increases the amount of perspiration in your feet, and a warm, moist environment promotes fungal growth.
Additionally, public pools are more prone to foot fungus during the summer months. Walking barefoot without any protection can dry out and crack the skin on your feet.
solution: Do you keep walking with your shoes closed all day? Wash and dry your feet thoroughly, especially between your toes. For those already suffering from foot fungus, apply an antifungal ointment (some are available without a prescription). If you’ve been walking barefoot, wash and dry your feet, then apply a generous amount of moisturizing cream.
Bonus Tip: Faces at 4pm
You know that feeling when all your painstakingly applied makeup from the morning melts away after a long day at work, in the sun or in traffic? There seems to be
The ‘4pm face’ coined by beauty experts refers to the fading of make-up, mascara and other beauty products, especially under harsh summer conditions. So what do they recommend? Add a primer under your makeup and finish with a setting spray. It is also a good idea to refresh yourself with a mist spray or pray to the god of the air conditioner in between.
