Sunscreen Spray for Skin Care

Going to the mountains?

Hair becomes brittle in the wind and frost. So bring a nourishing shampoo and conditioner with you. And always wear Barrier cream and chapstick. And if you are directly in the mountains, hide delicate skin under a layer of sunscreen of a dense consistency. Even at a temperature of only minus 5-6 degrees, a saturated cream with cryoprotectants is definitely needed.

But the higher the humidity and the warmer the temperature, the lighter the cream should be (less lipids) and more effective in moisturizing. The lower the temperature and the drier the air, the more lipid-saturated the cream should be and contain more components to protect blood vessels from erythrocuperosis. After an active day, you can make a moisturizing mask and do not forget to apply a night cream.

Debbie Dakino, vice president of product development at Clinique, explains that high in the mountains, the risk of sunburn is as high as in the heat of the sea. In addition, UVA rays, or “aging rays”, remain active throughout the year. Consequently, in winter, the skin is also exposed to photoaging and an increased risk of cancer. The only thing that needs to change in your sun protection as the seasons change is the cosmetic formula, but not its sun protection factor (SPF). Apply sunscreen 15-20 minutes before going outside.

What is SPF

The Sun Protection Factor (SPF) is a standard in the cosmetic industry and is determined by laboratory tests using a simulated solar radiation that causes erythema (sunburn). The SPF value is determined experimentally indoors: the skin is exposed to an optical spectrum that simulates sunlight at noon. Some people taking the test have sunscreen applied to their skin, while others have not. The amount of light that causes reddening of the protected skin is divided by the amount of light that causes redness of the unprotected skin, and the resulting value is the sun protection factor. Since these tests only measure erythema, SPF is an indication of protection against UVB rays, but not UVA rays.

Blessed sunlight is able to cure depression, relieve nervous tension, charge the body with energy. But the sun’s rays have one drawback. They, especially in combination with sea water, are a real test for the skin and hair. So, sea salt helps to strengthen nails, prevents colds. But from constant exposure to salt water, and then in the sun, there is often a feeling of tightness of the skin. A spray with thermal water will help to cope with the problem – it perfectly moisturizes and refreshes the face.

Victoria Vaichunas, consultant technologist at Davines, recommends:

1. Limit exposure to direct sunlight. Active sunbathers will face a much greater climatic blow upon returning to their homeland than those who sunbathe a little and prefer other entertainments.

2. Be sure to use protective creams. The higher the sun protection factor, the better.

3. Do not neglect special hair products that protect them from the harmful effects of the sun, sea and chlorinated water, preventing dryness and discoloration. I advise you to pay attention to products containing a maximum of natural ingredients, antioxidants, softening proteins, UV filters.

4. After returning from the spa, perform procedures that revitalize your hair (moisturizing and nourishing masks). If you dry your hair in the sun and it looks like lifeless straw with split ends, a haircut will restore it to a well-groomed look.
