How to protect your skin when swimming in summer? These sunscreens will protect you.

In the hot summer, many places are in barbecue mode, and men who like swimming can go to the water and have a hearty splash. Many people choose outdoor swimming pools and beaches for swimming. It is recommended that everyone do some warm-up exercises before entering the water. Also, men need to remember that hydration and sun protection are a must!

Rehydration

Even in the water, you need to hydrate your skin, mainly because the water in the pool is mixed with a lot of chemicals, and staying in the pool for a long time can easily cause the skin to be dehydrated. So before swimming, men can replenish the skin with some "nutrition", apply a layer of hydrating cream/lotion, and gently massage and pat it to help the skin absorb it.

Sunscreen

When swimming outdoors, you must apply high-efficiency sunscreen, and you cannot just look at the SPF value. SPF can only protect against UVB ultraviolet rays, which means it can only protect against 1% of ultraviolet rays. The real sun killer is UVA, which accounts for 98% of the ultraviolet rays that reach the ground. UVA is the most lethal because it can reach the bottom layer of the dermis in the shortest time, quickly damage elastic fibers, and cause skin aging. In addition, the skin in the water will absorb twice as much ultraviolet rays due to the reflection of sunlight. Therefore, when choosing sunscreen, you should not only choose SPF30 or above, but also PA+++ sunscreen, and it is best to choose sunscreen lotion instead of sunscreen.

You also need to clean up after swimming. If you go to the beach, avoid sand and salt that may damage your skin. If you wear sunscreen but still get sunburned, you also need to apply some after-sun repair products. A better way is to apply aloe juice directly. If you don’t have aloe juice, use cucumber slices or watermelon slices instead. Both can soothe and calm the skin!
