This coming summer is looking to be a hot one, which
means many of us will likely head to the beach to cool off. If you're not
careful, however, you could get more than just sand, sea, and sun. Protect your
skin against the sweltering heat this summer by being prepared and informed.
Start by getting to know and avoiding these all too common summer skincare
mistakes.
Neglecting Proper
Sunscreen Use
Sunscreen should be an important part of your summer
skincare routine, but many of us do away with it for various reasons. For some,
it's expensive, it doesn't feel good on the skin, or it's not practical if
you're not planning to stay under the sun for a long time.

First off, not all sunscreen lotions are expensive. These
may be a bit pricier compared to ordinary lotions, but the purchase is worth
it. Many sunscreens on the market are also formulated for quick skin
absorption, which does away with the sticky residual feeling. Dermplus sunscreens, for example,
provide excellent skin protection from the sun, features a quick absorb
formula, and comes in different variants and sizes depending on your need and
skin type. One important thing many people don't know is that you can get
sunburn even when indoors.
UV light can penetrate through glass windows, which means
even if you are at home or in the office and you happen to be next to a window,
you still are exposed. Make it a habit to use Dermplus to all exposed areas of
the body every day, especially this summer.
Ignoring Dead Skin
Cells.
The sun and sand may feel good on your feet, but these
can damage the skin. Be sure to exfoliate your skin before hitting the beach.
Removing the dead skin cells allow for the growth of new, healthy cells, which
makes the skin smoother and feeling softer. Exfoliation also allows the sunblock
and other skincare products to be more effective, as it can go deeper into the
skin. Relying on Clothes Alone for Sun Protection Our summer outfits are often
light, airy, and colorful. This, however, could mean your skin (even the
non-exposed parts) does not get enough protection.
The sando, the sun dress, or that light summery polo
shirt provides very little protection against the sun. For this, it's best to
sunscreen it up all over, and maybe even getting clothes with built-in sun
protection.
Getting Dehydrated
Dehydration not only causes headaches and extreme thirst;
it also causes the skin to dry out. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water
or non-sugary, non-caffeinated beverages. This balances the body and skin's
moisture levels.
Ignoring that Sunburn
If you really can't stay away from the heat and the sun
for a long time, be sure to soothe the skin as soon as possible. The Dermplus Aftersun Hydrating Body Gel is
very effective in soothing the skin, reducing inflammation and redness, and
preventing peeling. The sooner you deal with the sun damage on the skin, the
better. Make this summer fun and safe not just for the family or the barkada,
but for your skin as well.
