Without them in the summer is not indispensable.
On all the important questions about sunscreens, their selection and proper use of said Yana Gerasimova, beauty salon YG Club.
So whether you need sunscreen in the summer?
– Use sunscreen year-round is precisely the same necessity as proper nutrition and physical activity, and other physiological practices that help us to keep the body healthy.
Excessive UV radiation causes mutations in the cells of the body, reducing immunity and causing cancer. And, of course, I as cosmetologist will tell you that this is one of the main factors of skin aging. That is, the higher you get a dose of radiation, the faster aging of your skin and body in General. I believe these facts sound convincing. In Europe, America, Asia in the schools have special education programs that teach how to protect yourself when UV radiation. Of course, even here the question is not worth to use it or not. Clearly and even emphatically – Yes. Only need to know how.
How to choose sunscreen? What to pay attention?
– Choice of protective equipment depends on the season and time of exposure to the sun. In our climate it’s spf 10-20 for the season autumn-winter and spf 15-40 for spring and summer. The cream is chosen individually, taking into account characteristics of the skin.
To choose better manufacturer that you can trust. In the composition of the search for protection against two types of radiation: rays of the spectrum A and B. The best UVA filter, avobenzone (butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane). Proven defence against UVB rays – the physical filters, zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.
How to choose sunscreens for pregnant and nursing mothers?
– Look for these same components in the cream, if you are expecting a baby, nursing mother or choose a medium for a child. These filters are considered the most secure. But still good to get it off with cleanser at the end of the day, or when their action is no longer necessary. As their degradation products carcinogenic, and therefore not useful.
How to apply sunscreen?
Protection applied to all exposed skin every day. If we are talking about the everyday working in the office, there is no need to update it in the afternoon or before going home or even walking in the afternoon.
But if you are outdoors during the day, then apply every 2 hours. The old coat is best to wash or at least clean with a damp cloth.
It is also important layer of application. The amount should be sufficient to provide reliable protection.
How to combine sunscreen with the day cream, bb cream, Foundation?
Your day cream should contain sun protection. And then only enough of it to protect themselves. If not, then apply a protective product on top of the basic day cream.
BB cream is self-sufficient, i.e. it is applied on clean skin and it performs all functions.
Relative to the Foundation. If they contain spf, then they can be applied to any cream, and then the main factor will be the toner. If it does not contain, then only on sunscreen. But bear in mind that whatever you put on the protective cream, it will reduce its effect.
Can I replace the sunscreen with natural oils?
– Coconut oil softens the action of the sun, stimulates tanning and gives it a very beautiful shade. But effective protective means from the sun is not. If you want a little pomogite, then Yes, you can apply on the skin and 15-20 min. to lie in the sun. You will be pleasantly surprised.
It is better to choose a lotion, cream or spray?
– More of a lotion or cream. Because the spray is more method of application. A lotion or cream – it is the individual characteristics of each manufacturer. Often the lotion is easier on the skin than the cream, but not always. Personally, I use a face cream and lotion spray for body.
