The negative influence of ultraviolet radiation can adversely affect the state of our epidermis, causing irritation, solar dermatitis or thermal burns, which greatly increase the risk of photoaging and can even lead to the development of cancer. And if we can somehow additionally secure our body with the help of summer clothes, then the face always remains the main "object" of solar activity, as a result of which its skin dries up, becomes more sensitive, becomes covered with age spots or early wrinkles. To avoid such unfortunate consequences, you need to carefully take care of your appearance using sunscreens - specially formulated products that reflect or absorb all types of UV rays.

According to dermatologists, it is highly undesirable to use the same care product for different parts of the body. Going to hot countries or spending the summer in your hometown, you should take a responsible approach to the choice of face protection, observing some simple but important rules when buying Sanskrin:

• the cream should have a light, almost weightless texture in order to be quickly absorbed and used, if necessary, as a makeup base;
• it is great if the product contains nourishing and moisturizing components that allow you to maintain the health of the dermis at the cellular level;
• it is not recommended to apply sunscreens with a high water-resistant factor to the face. Such products can be used exclusively during a beach holiday, when you plan to make frequent swims or dives in the water;
• for women of the middle and older generation, it is worth choosing a special anti-aging care cosmetics with a rejuvenating effect, containing hyaluronic acid and antioxidants;
• for oily and combination skin, creams in the form of gels, emulsions or lotions are optimal. For owners of dry and sensitive dermis, it is better to opt for moisturizing milk with sun protection.
