With the summer season finally peaking, it only takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes in the sun to damage the innermost layers of your skin. With high heat and humidity, the sun emits the most UV rays in the air, and it is almost impossible to avoid the heat and UV radiation dangers this season.
Although we cannot prevent heat and emission of UV radiation, always be prepared to prevent the effects of sun exposure. Therefore, before venturing out into the open, here is everything you should know about sun protection and the significance of protecting yourself from the sun during summer.
Understanding UV Hours & Peak Time in Summer
Peak UV hours refer to the sun’s strongest rays, which bring with them higher chances of causing skin damage. The UV index, which spans 0 to 11 or more, quantifies this threat. An 8 to 10 or greater UV index means a high sun damage risk. India’s peak UV radiation is from 10 AM to 3 PM, and it varies according to your position and weather patterns.
Travelling at peak UV hours is dangerous for your skin, eyes, and overall well-being. Having an effective Summer Vegan Skincare Solution is necessary to ensure skin health during such extreme conditions.
Summer Skincare Routine to Protect Your Skin
1. Use Sunscreen
It is important to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 50+ and PA++++ protection before going out in the sun. The Rare Blend’s Vegan Skincare Solution provides chemical-free, natural sunscreen solutions to protect your skin from UV damage while giving it plant-based nourishment.
2. Hydrate Your Skin
Sun exposure can dry out the skin, causing irritation and dryness. Apply a light, non-greasy moisturizer containing hyaluronic acid to seal in moisture without blocking pores.
3. Hydrate
Consuming enough water regulates body temperature and avoids dehydration, leaving your skin looking fresh and radiant.
4. Dress for Protection
Choose light, airy clothing that covers your skin. Wide-brimmed hats and UV sunglasses provide an additional layer of protection against direct sunlight.
5. Don’t Over-Exfoliate
Exfoliating too much in the summer can leave your skin vulnerable to UV radiation. Use a light exfoliation routine with The Rare Blend’s Vegan Skincare Products, which are formulated to repair and defend the skin barrier.
6. Eat a Balanced Diet
Consuming antioxidant-rich foods, including vegetables and fruits, will protect your skin from UV-induced oxidative stress. Do not indulge in excessive junk food, as it can result in acne and inflammation of the skin.
7. Maintain a Summer Skincare Routine
A well-thought-out Summer Skincare Routine keeps your skin healthy and glowing. Begin with cleansing, toning, moisturizing, and sun protection. The Rare Blend provides various natural skincare options suitable for the summer season.
Taking these precautions in advance and adding The Rare Blend’s Vegan Skincare Solution to your skincare routine can successfully prevent UV damage and keep you looking young and radiant throughout the summer season!
