Summer sunscreen is something many people overlook, but that doesn’t mean your skin is immune to the sun. It might just be that you haven’t been exposed enough to realize how harmful UV rays can be—especially during the summer months. Even if you think your skin is strong, it’s still under constant attack from invisible ultraviolet radiation. If you only apply sunscreen on your face and forget about the rest of your body, you’re missing a crucial step in protecting yourself.
Going to the beach without proper protection can lead to painful sunburns, redness, and even long-term damage. It’s not just the editor warning you—it’s your own skin asking for help. Improper use of sunscreen can cause irritation and accelerate premature aging, so it’s important to do it right.
If you want to enjoy the sun without the consequences, make sure your sun protection is up to par. Here are some tips:
1. Apply a moisturizer before sunscreen to keep your skin hydrated throughout the day.
2. Body sunscreen can be washed off in the shower, no need for makeup removal.
3. Choose a high SPF, like SPF 50+, when UV levels are at their peak.
4. Reapply every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating.
5. Opt for water-resistant formulas if you're heading to the beach.
Don’t forget these four often-overlooked areas when applying sunscreen:
1. **From chin to chest** – Many people skip this area, but it’s just as vulnerable to sun damage. Make sure to cover it evenly.
2. **Back of the hands** – These are often neglected, yet they can develop dark spots and wrinkles if left unprotected.
3. **Instep (top of the feet)** – Don’t ignore your feet—many women end up with very dark feet due to lack of coverage.
4. **Neck to shoulder blades** – Open-back dresses and off-the-shoulder styles leave this area exposed. Ask a friend to help if you can’t reach it yourself.
UVA and UVB rays both contribute to photoaging and increase the risk of skin cancer. Don’t ignore either. In fact, UV exposure can cause sunburn in as little as 15 minutes during peak hours. That’s why it’s essential to take sun protection seriously, no matter where you go or what you do.
So, don’t underestimate the importance of body sunscreen. Protecting your skin isn’t just about looking good—it’s about staying healthy. Whether you’re lounging by the pool or enjoying a sunny walk, always remember to shield your skin from the sun’s harmful effects. Your future self will thank you.
