How to maintain a tan after Turkey, skin care after the sea

How to prepare your skin for sunbathing at sea?

Our skin is an amazing organ. It does a lot for the body: toxins and other harmful substances are removed through the skin along with sweat; with the help of the skin we feel the slightest changes in the environment; skin is an indicator of the health of human internal organs. Our skin also acts as a protective barrier against the harmful influences of the outside world. Including from the sun with its ultraviolet radiation, through the production of melanin pigment.

Before running to meet the long-awaited sun, you should prepare your skin for sunbathing in advance.

About 10 days to two weeks before your intended vacation, begin regularly exfoliating your skin .

Skin cells gradually die and partially remain on the surface of the skin, which ultimately leads to an uneven tan. Regular use of peeling or soft scrub will help get rid of dead cells, resulting in a smooth and beautiful tan.

If you weren’t able to pay proper attention to your skin at home, then try visiting a Turkish hammam on the first day of your vacation. This is a very cool complex procedure that includes, among other things, scrubbing the skin throughout the body. After visiting the hammam, you can safely go to the beach and fully enjoy your vacation.

Around the same time (10 days) you should start taking vitamins A and E.

The first one – promotes the production of melanin and your skin in the sun will quickly acquire a bronze tint. The second one will help moisturize the skin, because under the scorching rays of the sun it will very quickly turn into the skin of some dried animal.

Let's tan properly

To get an even tan without sunburn, you should follow these simple rules:

Sunbathe only in the morning or evening hours, when there is low solar activity. At lunchtime it is better to stay in a cool room.
You need to tan gradually, especially in warm countries. During the first days, you are allowed to stay in the sun for no more than two hours. The skin must adapt to intense ultraviolet radiation.
Be sure to apply high-quality sunscreen cosmetics to a clean body a few minutes before going out in the sun.
It is not recommended to use decorative cosmetics on the beach, as there is a high risk of getting an uneven tan.
You can't stay in the water for a long time. First of all, the face and shoulders burn due to the ability of ultraviolet rays to reflect off mirror surfaces.
We put wide-brimmed hats on our heads and high-quality sunglasses on our eyes. Clothing should be light and loose, made from natural fabrics.
After the beach, you need to take a light shower and apply restorative products. If skin redness occurs, it is recommended to use special preparations for sunburn, for example, panthenol.
During vacation, it is not recommended to take antibacterial drugs, which increase the risk of sunburn.

How to prepare your skin for sunbathing at sea

The skin needs to be adapted to intense exposure to ultraviolet radiation by following these simple recommendations:

In a few days we cleanse the skin of dead cells. You can use homemade scrubs, for example, based on coffee grounds or sugar. For the best effect, pre-steam the skin in a hot bath or sauna.
To restore cells after the cleansing procedure, we apply restorative and moisturizing agents twice a day.
To protect your snow-white skin from sunburn on the beach, it is recommended to visit the solarium several times for 5 minutes. The skin will be prepared for intense ultraviolet exposure.

What procedures will be useful before and after a holiday at sea? Be fully prepared for your vacation

In the summer, many people think about how to spend their vacation and where to go on vacation. Of course, hot countries occupy a leading place among those wishing to relax. But few people worry that along with pleasant moments and a storm of emotions, they can acquire skin problems.

Acclimatization, change of time zones and diet, sun, sea water - all this can harm the skin and ruin a carefree resort. To avoid illnesses, you need to take care of your skin in advance.

BEFORE vacation

The following procedures must be carried out:

1. Depilation

One of the most important procedures before the beach season is any type of hair removal. Depilation should be carried out in advance. Laser hair removal and electrolysis are recommended to be carried out 2-4 weeks before vacation. You should sign up for waxing no later than 4-5 days before departure.

2. Skin hydration

For a beautiful and even tan, the level of skin moisture is important. Hyaluronic acid is responsible for the beauty and youth of the skin. She maintains water balance in the cage. To maintain the required level of skin hydration, it is recommended to perform procedures for the body and face, after consulting with a cosmetologist. By protecting your skin before your vacation, you can safely enjoy your vacation and sunbathing. A light tan will give your skin freshness and radiance.

SPA treatments

3. Massage

You've worked tirelessly all year and need to relieve stress. Massage is not only a therapeutic procedure that allows you to relax a tired body, but it is also a way to relax individual muscle groups, remove toxins, waste products and increase vitality. After a massage session you will feel incredible lightness, calmness and peace. Positive energy and pleasant emotions will give you strength and vigor.

In the Beauty Club beauty studio complex, you can choose any type of massage from classic to exotic SPA treatments.

4. Eyebrow and eyelash tinting

On vacation there is no time for makeup, because excursions and walks await you. In addition, in hot climates, makeup quickly deteriorates. Then tinting your eyebrows and eyelashes comes to the rescue.

Who are you, microbe?

Unfamiliar infections and parasites are another danger that awaits us in exotic countries.

In a foreign country, you may suffer from local parasites. Sitting on a bench in a thong in Turkey, walking barefoot on the sand in Thailand, and even more so lying on a beach without bedding, you run the risk of harboring one of these “animals.” Moreover, these will not be parasites known in Russia, but representatives of foreign fauna, which our doctors may not have heard of, and drugs for which can only be bought abroad. Therefore, do not sit on the sand or other surfaces naked; be sure to put on clothes or lay out a towel. Never walk on the beach barefoot. God knows what kind of disgusting thing can live in this snow-white sand!

Thorough hand washing before each meal is a reliable protection against intestinal infections. In addition, after purchasing local vegetables and fruits at the market, be sure to wash them under running water.

Try not to buy food from suspicious street eateries. After all, it’s better to overpay, but be sure that you won’t cause harm to your health. Is not it?

Before your vacation, be sure to get all the vaccinations required in this country.

What is tanning?

The question is simple, you might think. This is when the skin turns a beautiful chocolate color. But no! A tan is actually a burn, and erythema (the first redness of the skin after exposure to sunlight) is nothing more than a disease. Erythema appears approximately 2-3 hours after sunbathing, but it can last up to several days on different skin types.

Then it all depends on how susceptible your skin is to the sun’s rays, how prepared it is, and how strong the body’s defenses are. That is, the redness will gradually turn into a pleasant dark shade only when melanin production begins in the skin. This pigment appears precisely for protection - it is a kind of “skin” immunity to relieve the symptoms of burns and prevent the skin from becoming inflamed.

When you already become a “chocolate sweet,” there may be fewer protective measures, but at first you need to approach preparations for the sunny season wisely.

Save travel documents on cloud storage and make copies of them

This will help you a lot if, God forbid, you lose any documents in a foreign country. You need to scan your documents for each tourist:

– international passport (all pages with data – full name, closed and open visas, data on previously issued passports); – driver’s license (both sides); – civil passport (pages with personal data, children, marriage and residence); – voucher (if available); - insurance; – air tickets; – children’s birth certificate or their passport, or better yet, both. ... In short - all the documents that you take with you, and a little more.

Some experts advise taking with you copies of your passport certified by a notary.

But what we definitely advise you to do is to take regular copies of documents with you and carry with you not your passport, but a copy of it.

Also save all your information to the cloud if you planned your vacation yourself - all available reservations, letters, routes, lists, etc.

After that, you pack these documents into an archive, assign a password, create a cloud storage on any free mail server and put these archives there . After this, if you have a smartphone, you install the appropriate disk program on your smartphone. The programs also have the ability to save files to your phone from a disk. Yandex Disk has an “offline” function, which allows you to store the most important documents without an Internet connection. Also, if you download, Yandex will install the correct client on your computer. Thanks to it, you can simply copy the desired archives to a folder on your computer, and they will appear everywhere.

Yandex disk storage. Cloud Mail.ru. Google Cloud.

Everywhere you will be required to have a valid account.

In the event of force majeure, it will be much easier for you to communicate with law enforcement agencies, and you will be able to confirm your identity from anywhere there is an Internet connection!
