Abuse of the protector:<o:p></o:p>

<a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/beauty/dermatologist-recommended-facial-sunscreens" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sunscreen</a> is an essential item at any time of the year. Its use becomes even more important during the summer. &ldquo;One should use those with SPF equal to or greater than 30. For the body, we have some good presentations in lotions and sprays, which facilitate the spread of the product. As for the face, it is important to note that the filter is suitable for the type of skin (oily, mixed or acneic, for example)&rdquo;, explains dermatologist Ana Paula Fucci.

sunscreen

Contrary to what many imagine, cloudy days also require the use of sunscreen. “In them, insolation may be lower, somewhere around 40% less. However, the emission of ultraviolet rays does not depend on whether the sky is sunny or not, requiring the use of sunscreen in the same way”, says Renato Pazzini, dermatologist. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

running from the mark<o:p></o:p>

The bad news for anyone who loves that sun-kissed skin colour look is that any tan is harmful. &ldquo;Tanning should be avoided, especially if acquired using products that accelerate the process. Sun exposure, when it occurs, should be for a short time (an average of five minutes) and at the best times, thinking more about the benefits of the sun than the change in skin colour&rdquo;, warns dermatologist Gislaine Sales Gomes Lara.

But how to do it if I want a tan tone in the summer? For this, dermatologists recommend <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/beauty/how-to-use-self-tanner-as-contour-at-home" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sunless tanning creams</a>. They are like temporary make-up, disappearing in a few days, but without bringing the damage of excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays. "Artificial tanners (self-tanners or the jet type) work from a chemical reaction with substances present in the skin, being a safe alternative for those who like it to be more golden," says dermatologist Fernanda Porphirio, from Cl&iacute;nica Vanit&eacute;.

burns<o:p></o:p>

If, despite being very careful, you notice that your skin is red, burning or peeling, avoid exposing yourself to the sun again. “The skin is already damaged and needs initiatives that seek its renewal and recovery, such as the use of after-sun products (bringing immediate relief), thermal water and denser moisturizers, in creams or butters”, says dermatologist Luciana Garbelini.

golden tips<o:p></o:p>

Check out how not to go wrong with sun protection this and other summers, according to science:<ul><li style="text-align: justify;"> Apply sunscreen half an hour before exposure. If you have contact with water, you need to reapply it. Otherwise, it also needs to be reapplied every two hours;</li><li style="text-align: justify;"> Avoid exposing yourself to the sun at times of higher incidence of UV rays (between 10am and 4pm);</li><li style="text-align: justify;"> Bet on accessories with UV protection, such as hats, glasses and beach tents;</li><li style="text-align: justify;"> Abuse post-sun hydration to repair possible sun damage and nutrient loss;</li><li style="text-align: justify;"> People with skin blemishes are better able to protect themselves with colored photoprotectors;</li><li style="text-align: justify;"> Don&#39;t forget to use sunscreen on your feet, ears and scalp (hair protector or filter, for people with no hair in the region), as these are neglected areas that can develop uncomfortable sunburns. &quot;The worst burn injuries are on closed days. It is common to believe that there is no solar radiation and they end up neglecting it, so you have to be careful&quot;, explains dermatologist Dr. Alberto Cordeiro, at the head of Clínica Hōraios;</li><li style="text-align: justify;"> For those who are going to practice outdoor physical activity, the ideal is to use sunscreen with a minimum factor of SPF 30, with double protection (UVA and UVB), water resistant and not forgetting to reapply it after considerable perspiration.</li></ul>
