When the temperatures rise and the sun shines from the sky, our skin longs for fresh air, sunshine and cool water. But it is precisely these summer pleasures that pose major challenges for the skin: UV radiation and loss of moisture can quickly dry it out, irritate it and cause it to age prematurely.
UV protection: the most important summer measure for healthy skin
The sun emits two types of UV rays:
- UVB rays: cause sunburn
- UVA rays: promote skin ageing
Both can damage skin cells, so high-quality sun protection is essential. And even at a young age! This will effectively protect your skin from UV rays:
- Apply sunscreen every day, even on cloudy days – UV rays penetrate clouds.
- Use a sun cream with a high sun protection factor.
- Reapply every 2 hours, especially after bathing or sweating.
- Also wear a hat, sunglasses and UV clothing for optimum protection.
Moisturizing care in summer
High temperatures, sunlight, air conditioning and salt water deprive the skin of valuable moisture. The result: tightness, dryness lines, irritation or even flaky skin.
The right summer care for moisture:
- Use light, water-based skincare products.
- Moisturizing masks 1-2 times a week give the skin a freshness boost.
- Use after-sun products to soothe and cool the skin after sunbathing.
- Drink at least 1.5-2 liters of water per day to support the skin from the inside.
- Skin care from within: hajoona Glow with hyaluronic acid, collagen, spermidine and the vitamins biotin, niacin and B2 supports the skin’s moisture supply from within.
Summertime can be a real treat for body and soul – if you protect your skin properly. With daily UV protection, well thought-out moisturizing care and a conscious skincare routine, your skin will not only stay healthy, but will also radiate with the sun.
