People love holidaying on the beach, but they do not know how to keep their skin glowing. Expert gives tip to protect skin to have that beautiful beach holiday look. Jill Zander, founder of the Jill Zander Skin Rejuvenation Clinic, shares tips to keep skin looking beautiful in the summer sun and beyond, reports femalefirst.co.uk:
Sun protection: Use a sunblock daily. Always include your neck, d collet and backs of hands and reapply frequently. Buy a good sunscreen which will help protect your skin for a long time. Wear a hat and large lensed sunglasses.
Eat antioxidant-rich food: We become more sensitive as we get older to external stresses, as a result of free radicals produced by environmental pollution, car exhaust fumes, UVA and UVB and cigarette smoke. Invest in a scientifically proven home care regime to protect your skin with vital nutrients providing good antioxidant protection enriched with vitamins C and E.
Repair sun damage: When it comes to sun damage, vitamin A is the most valuable skin care nutrients applied to the skin. Vitamin A helps to smooth sun damage, giving less wrinkled skin and also helps to even out skin tone.
Use a good facial scrub: It is required to remove oil, dirt, impurities and dead cells to improve texture and restore natural glow. Do it at night only.
Apply perfume with care: Never apply fragrance to the skin in the day. Oil of Bergamot, often used as a fixative, can cause photo sensitivity and pigmentation problems. Only apply in the evening. (Read : 7-day skincare regime to get beautiful skin)
Remove tan: If you feel your skin has got an undue tan after being outdoors for too long, you can opt for a de-tan pack at home. Apply a mix of aloe vera gel, gram flour, lime juice on your face and other body parts and then wash it off with water once it dries off. Here are some more packs to remove tanning.
