As summer draws to a close, it's crucial not to let your guard down when it comes to sun protection. Although days at the beach and pool may be behind us, sun exposure is still a daily reality, especially in warmer weather and during outdoor activities. Whether you're strolling through the city, exercising, or simply enjoying an afternoon in the garden, ultraviolet (UV) radiation continues to affect your skin .
Therefore, it's essential to maintain a skincare routine that prevents annoying and dangerous sunburns, as well as the appearance of dark spots and premature skin aging. Below, we give you 7 tips to protect your skin during this time of year.
- Apply specific skincare products . Your daily routine is essential for maintaining healthy skin. Start your day by applying creams such as MEL13 or MEL13 Plus , MEL13 Serum , and MEL13 Eyes . These products not only deeply hydrate but also help repair damage caused by accumulated sun exposure over the summer. Although sunscreens are essential, it's important to remember that no sunscreen offers a 100% barrier against UV radiation, so the use of complementary treatments is highly recommended.
- Always protect your skin, even in the fall . As summer comes to an end, it's common to think the sun isn't as dangerous anymore. However, UV radiation is still present and can damage your skin if you don't protect it properly. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or higher. Apply sunscreen to dry skin 30 minutes before leaving the house, and be sure to use a generous amount to cover all exposed areas. Don't forget to reapply every two hours, especially if you sweat or get wet.
- Don't forget to reapply sunscreen. A single application of sunscreen isn't enough to protect your skin all day. It's essential to reapply it after swimming, sweating, or every two hours, even if you're in the shade or it's cloudy. Sunburn can occur at any time if your skin isn't adequately protected.
- Seek shade whenever possible. Although the late summer sun may seem less intense, it's still wise to seek shade, especially during peak sun hours (between 12:00 and 16:00). Use umbrellas, awnings, or shelter under trees to minimize direct sun exposure. This simple gesture can make a big difference to the health of your skin.
- Dress appropriately to protect your skin. As the temperature drops, it's more common to wear clothing that covers more of your body. Take advantage of this trend to protect your skin from the sun. Wear caps or wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses with UV protection, and clothing made of lightweight but dense fabrics, which act as an additional barrier against the sun's rays.
- Adapt your routine to the weather conditions. At the end of summer, the weather can be unpredictable, with sunny days alternating with cloudy ones. Don't let the clouds fool you: UV radiation passes through them and can damage your skin. Maintain your sun protection routine regardless of the weather.
- Nighttime care with regenerating products After a day of sun exposure, it's essential to repair and regenerate your skin. At night, cleanse your face and reapply MEL13 or MEL13 Plus , MEL13 Serum , and MEL13 Eyes to clean, dry skin. These products help restore the skin barrier and mitigate damage caused by solar radiation, ensuring healthier, more radiant skin in the long term.
In short, the end of summer doesn't mean the end of sun care . Keep your skin protected with these simple but effective tips, and don't forget to complement your sun protection with specific products that help keep it in optimal condition. With a consistent and appropriate routine, you'll not only avoid burns and dark spots, but you'll also contribute to the health and beauty of your skin all year round.
