Care of face skin and bodies after suntan

Since the most ancient times light skin was sign of noble origin, commoners were suntanned as worked in the open air. Everything changed in the 20th century: Coco Chanel, having a rest on the French Riviera in 1920, accidentally sunbathed, and it was pleasant to her admirers. There were imitators. Besides, all the adored singer had a shade of skin of caramel color that also promoted emergence of fashion for suntan.

However, the real revolution in relation to suntan took place in the 30th years of last century when scientists revealed beneficial influence of sunshine on development in a human body of the vitamin D having protivorakhitny properties. Since then suntan began to be perceived as sign of health.

But at the end of the 20th century the new facts appeared: suntan promotes skin aging, and active sunlight can cause a dangerous disease – a melanoma. Today to many people doctors forbid to sunbathe in the sun, and the bulk of vacationers outdoors uses means with sun-protection properties.

The first cream with sun-protection properties appeared only in 1987 and SPF15 chalk. And how we lived before its emergence? Differently. Even at me having swarty skin and knowing about insidiousness of sunshine, was such burn of a back once that I lay delirious with high temperature! What to tell about owners of white skin! Today similar problems became less, but even after rest on the beach with application of sun-protection means skin needs special leaving.

1. Usual care of skin after outdoor recreation
At first it is necessary to take a cool or warm shower to wash away residues of cosmetics and just to purify skin. You should not use a bast or a srub even if there are no symptoms of a burn. Shower gel needs to be chosen as neutral – without bright dyes and strong fragrances. Then it is necessary to put means which are capable to humidify, calm and soften skin. It is no secret that sunshine dry skin, cause undesirable inflammatory reactions and give roughness to epidermis.

In principle, it is possible to use any moisturizing face and body cream, but it is better to give preference to means of "after sun" which can be in the form of spray, a milk, gel, lotion, cream. Before application means can be put for a while in the refrigerator to create the pleasant refreshing effect. On a photo popular means for care of skin after suntan - a milk of GARNIER AMBRE SOLARE, a milk Yves Rocher cooling and restoring gelmary Kay After Sun moistening Nivea Sun spray, Belita cream (Belarus), a milk after suntan of Faberlic, Pantenol are presented:

2. Care of slightly burned skin
If on skin after suntan the small redness appeared, then instead of a shower it is better to take a heat bath with medical components:
1) the half-hour bathtub with two glasses of baking soda will remove irritation and inflammation of skin;
2) the bathtub with one cup of apple cider vinegar cools skin and normalizes its PH;
3) the bathtub with one cup of the porridge which is previously made by boiled water will calm the angry skin, will remove the naggers.

If there is no opportunity to take a bath, then it is possible to use cool compresses. For compresses it is possible to add soda, camomile extract to water, etc.
Then accurately to put means which part the anti-inflammatory and moisturizing substances are and also - vitamins. The best components of such means will be:
1) pantenol; 2) aloe extract belief; 3) allantoin; 4) epiloba extract; 4) thermal water; 5) hyaluronic acid; 6) shea butter; 7) vitamins C and E.

On the inflamed skin it is the best of all to spray means not to touch by hands – it can be sick.

Before emergence of special cosmetics in the people actively used kefir and sour cream, and on the Internet even it is possible to meet such recommendations today. Personally I am not excited about these means: you lie dirty, sticky, and I pound – any!

3. Care of skin after a solar burn
The solar burn fully proves in five hours after return from the beach: it is time for all to sleep, and here – pain, temperature, nonsense! If it happened to the child, then it is better to call "Ambulance". Adults can take aspirin, and to cover a body with spray or Pantenol or Bepanten ointment. Only pharmaceutical medicines can help with such difficult situation. And it is better to have them in the first-aid kit then in the middle of the night not to look for the round-the-clock drugstore in the unfamiliar town.

Good and well-tried remedy from solar burns is sandal-wood tree oil – the basic, not radio. Unfortunately, in our drugstores it is a rarity, only in Internet drugstore it will turn out to buy. I brought this oil from Egypt. Tremendous thing!

There is a wish that rest was never saddened by solar burns. You remember: even if you covered all body with sunblock cream, the bathing suit can move and the small strip of skin will burn down all, and all – you will not be able to sit at a table! Be vigilant and careful!
