Vacation time is in full swing, which means it’s time to stock up on tanning creams and other useful beauty products. WDay.ru has selected 10 irreplaceable cosmetic products for the warm season.
Skin protection
Do you want to test yourself for strength? Take up active sports, but it’s better to take care of your skin. Ultraviolet rays can do great harm to her. They differ in wavelength and are divided into three types: UVA, UVB and UVC. The most dangerous radiation is the last one, but from it we have a natural filter – the ozone layer. The other two easily penetrate unprotected skin and cause a host of problems. UVA radiation is responsible for premature skin aging and pigmentation. UVB rays cause carcinoma, the most common type of cancer. So it is better to take care of the skin, since there are worthy protectors for this in the form of cosmetics.
In the early days, use products with high protection, gradually moving to a lower one. Do the test from time to time. Press your finger on any area of the skin. If there is a bright white print left, it’s time to go into the shadows.
Especially for hair UV radiation, salt water and chlorinated water are the culprits of dry and burned hair, turning it into straw. To solve a problem, it is not necessary to stock up on dozens of funds. It is enough to have a protective shampoo and spray with you, which can be applied to your hair at any time of the day. And once every one to two weeks, make moisturizing and nourishing masks.

Means for protecting colored hair, Color Protect Reconstruction Treatment, Paul Mitchell. Does not allow the shade to fade and wash off. Saves hair from drying out in the scorching sun. It is enough to use 2-3 times a week.
The skin acquires the maximum bronze tint naturally after three weeks of exposure to the sun.
After sun products
Taking sunbathing, the skin acquires a golden hue, but at the same time loses moisture. The result is dehydration. Its signs are: roughness, a feeling of tightness, fine wrinkles and cracks. Need moisturizing and soothing masks.
If you are at sea, wet compress products will do. They contain substances (glycerin, sorbidol, hyaluronic acid) that simply “stick” to the skin surface and absorb moisture from the air.
If the climate is dry, use products that moisturize the deep layers of the skin. These contain components of the natural moisturizing factor (NMF), minerals (salts) and penetrate into the stratum corneum .
Cooling after sun spray from Nivea Sun. Refreshes the skin, softens and moisturizes for several hours. Absorbs instantly, soothes the skin and relieves redness.

After sun cream from Garnier. Perfectly softens and moisturizes the skin, enhances tanning. Can be used to mask poorly tanned areas.
You should not use regular cream on the beach – the protection factor is too low. Such products will protect the skin well in the city.
Decorative cosmetics with SPF
The sun rises not only over the sea coast, city dwellers are no less susceptible to its radiation, and therefore must defend themselves. But you need to act more subtly. Use light day creams with protective factors.
If your job does not involve 8 hours of daily sun exposure, a regular product with SPF 15 and 18 is sufficient. If there is not enough sun at all, use a self-tanner. They not only add dark pigments, but give the skin a radiance and moisturize it perfectly. So you can use them instead of body cream.
Of course, you cannot do without decorative cosmetics. But summer should be light. Replace the foundation with a gentle fluid, and lipstick with a lip gloss with a minimum of pearl. When choosing waterproof mascara, remember that it is not intended for bathing. The label “waterproof” only indicates that the mascara is suitable for humid climates. It is better to swim without any cosmetics at all.
