Skin Care: How to Manage Your Skin in Summer

When the sweltering heat officially begins, various external factors like high temperatures, fluctuating humidity, and UV rays make us pay more attention to skin care.

How should you manage your skin during the sweaty summer months?

▷ Always Apply Sunscreen ◁

The American Skin Cancer Foundation reports that 90% of non-melanoma skin cancers are related to sun exposure.

However, most people in Korea don't pay much attention to UV rays.

In fact, 49% of men and 29% of women reported not using sunscreen in the past 12 months.

The reason for this is often not knowing what to apply or how long it will be effective.

It's best to apply sunscreen not only in summer but all year round.

▷ Apply Sunscreen Correctly ◁

Even those who diligently apply sunscreen often don't know how to apply it correctly.

They often don't know how much or how often to apply it.

According to a survey by the Skin Cancer Foundation, men rarely reapply sunscreen.

More than 60% believed that one application would protect them for at least 4 hours.

It's best to reapply sunscreen every two hours.

If you swim or sweat a lot, you should apply it even more frequently.

Be especially thorough when applying it to areas not covered by clothing or hats.

▷ Always Wear Sunglasses ◁

Strong sunlight can have a detrimental effect on your eyes.

If you don't protect your eyes when the sun is intense,

the risk of retinal damage or vision loss can increase.

Therefore, it's good to wear sunglasses properly, especially during the strong summer sun.

It's wise to choose products that can block 99% of UVA and UVB rays.

If it's difficult to choose on your own, seeking advice from an expert is also a good idea.

Sunglasses can also help prevent fine lines caused by squinting due to bright light.

▷ Soothe Your Skin After Waxing or Shaving ◁

Sometimes people go straight into the water after shaving, waxing, or hair removal.

However, at this time, the skin is very sensitive and can easily become inflamed.

If you plan to go swimming, it's safer to complete your beauty treatment at least 2 to 3 hours beforehand.

▷ Sufficient Hydration is Necessary ◁

Your skin gets thirsty when it's hot too.

This is because sunlight strips moisture from the skin.

This can lead to dead skin cells and cracked skin.

Therefore, even if you feel hot, sweaty, and sticky,

it's important to apply rich lotions and moisturizers.

It's also good to manage your body to prevent moisture from escaping.

Drink plenty of water, and eat water-rich foods like watermelon, cucumber, and peaches.
