Flowing; Safeguard Summer

By Edena Klimenti

The hot summer months are fast approaching. The summer holidays we wait all year for, we count down the days, waiting to embark on our travelling adventures. The streets filled with extravagant summer hats and kids with dribbling ice creams, ocean breeze and sand between our toes, picnics in the park, a day at a crowded swimming pool, and a perfect cocktail in the sun. We can’t, however, forget the protection we need during the hotter, sticky days.

All the products you need this summer, we have lined up for you. They will protect your body, hair, and face during the warmer months. Products that are suitable for all skin types, catered to your complexion, hair type, and even preference in terms of application. From body sprays to milk formula lotions, the list is endless. Although we all love to get carried away in the summer, it is important to protect our bodies, hair and skin from the damage the sun can cause. The face products ensure that your skin is kept moisturized and protected from the sun, the hair masks will protect your hair from salt, sun and even humidity, whilst the body products will ensure you are protected during, before and after spending time in the sun – most importantly, protecting you from UVA and UVB rays. Dr Jules Nabet, Cosmetic Doctor and Medical Director at Omniya Mediclinic Knightsbridge highlights the importance of skin care, especially when protecting your skin from the sun.

”It’s a very important to look after your skin before going out in the sun, a deep cleansing facial is a good way to ensure your skin is in its best condition and really hydrated. You are immediately exposed to UV rays when stepping out into the sun which is one of the main causes of premature skin ageing and skin cancer. Before going out into the sun it’s best to put sunscreen on 20 minutes before with the sunscreen being SPF 30 or higher ideally SPF 50 . The sun is at its strongest between 11am to 3pm so staying in the shade during those hours will prevent any severe sun damage.

After being in the sun it’s best to hydrate with water and moisturise your skin to help restore elasticity. If sunburned, wash and cleanse your face as well as apply aloe vera to any area of the skin that is sunburned as this will have a cooling and calming effect on the skin. It is also important to keep an eye on your moles and go to an expert such as The Mole Clinic if you are worried about changing ones.  If you do have any sun damage there are also treatments that can help post summer such as peels and lasers.”
