Protecting your skin during summer is crucial to prevent sunburn, premature aging, pigmentation, and skin cancer. With increased UV exposure from outdoor activities, it is essential to follow a proactive sun-care routine.
At DYU Aesthetics, HSR Layout, Bengaluru, we provide expert skincare solutions and treatments to help you maintain healthy, glowing skin while minimizing sun-related damage.
1. Choose Sun-Safe Outdoor Locations
Your choice of outdoor spaces can significantly affect your skin’s exposure to harmful UV rays.
- Opt for shaded areas such as parks with large trees, covered picnic spots, or beaches with umbrellas.
- Avoid direct sunlight between 10 AM and 4 PM, when UV radiation is strongest.
- If shade is unavailable, carry a portable sun umbrella to reduce exposure.
2. Apply Sunscreen Correctly & Frequently
Using the right sunscreen and applying it properly is key to preventing sun damage.
- Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays.
- Use SPF 30 or higher for effective protection.
- Apply sunscreen generously at least 15-20 minutes before sun exposure.
- Reapply every two hours, especially if sweating or swimming.
- Use water-resistant sunscreen for outdoor activities, but remember that no sunscreen is completely waterproof.
Tip: Most people apply less sunscreen than needed. Use at least a shot-glass amount for the body and a nickel-sized amount for the face.
3. Wear Sun-Protective Clothing
Clothing acts as an extra layer of defense against UV rays.
- Wear lightweight, long-sleeved shirts and full-length pants for maximum coverage.
- Choose UPF-rated sun-protective clothing, which offers better UV defense than regular fabrics.
- Use wide-brimmed hats and UV-blocking sunglasses to protect your face and eyes.
- When at the beach or pool, wear a cover-up or t-shirt when not swimming.
Tip: Dark-colored and tightly woven fabrics provide better UV protection than lighter and loosely woven clothes.
4. Maintain a Skin-Boosting Diet
A nutrient-rich diet supports skin health and helps combat sun damage.
- Beta Carotene (Boosts Skin Repair & Protection)
- Found in carrots, sweet potatoes, apricots, and mangoes.
- Lycopene (Reduces Sun-Induced Skin Damage)
