Hi everyone.
Today in my country was hot as hell.I decided to sunbathe a little bit (as yesterday).
Is there anything that makes you feel better then sunbathing? ( Ok,maybe not counting orgasm )....I doubt.
How good is sun we can see especially ....during winter,when there is not much sun and everyone seems to be depressed,sad,nervous.Now,during summertime lets take as much benefits as we can from sun. BUT We have to keep in mind that frying whole days long on the beach with beer/cola/mineral water in hand is not a best option for our skin.
Here are some important tips,that we shouldn't forget about.
1, Avoid exposure during the midday hours and don't stay in it for too long if it is very fierce.
2, Choose a sun cream with added vitamins and minerals, apply it 30-60 minutes before exposure and re-apply often. Added nutrients which have been found to be of particular benefit are vitamins C and E along with the minerals selenium and zinc.
3, Take supplements such as vitamins C,D,E and Beta-carotene and the minerals selenium,calcium and zinc.These will give your sunscreen a boost and help to prevent skin damage.
4, Eat a healthy diet with plenty of fresh fruit and veg. They are rich in vitamins, minerals, flavenoids and carotenoids, all of which are essential for a healthy skin and are good healing agents too.
5, Drink green tea, this has recently been found to be of benefit to prevent burning if drunk whilst sunbathing, it can also be soothing if applied topically to sunburn.
If after all your efforts at safe sunbathing you still end up sun burnt here are a few natural remedies that may help:
1, Aloe Vera, this has a lovely cooling effect on the skin and is good to apply every time you come out of the sun.
2, Lavender Oil, mix a few drops of lavender oil with almond, wheatgerm or sunflower oil, it is good for the relieve of sunburn along with other minor burns and scolds.
3, Calandula is another herbal remedy that helps to reduce inflammation and is very soothing to sunburnt skin.
4, Baking Powder is an old household remedy that can help to sooth sunburn.Dissolve a 16oz. box in a lukewarm bath and soak for half an hour. Alternatively you can mix to a thick paste and add topically.
5 Kefir (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kefir) or natural yoghurt are also extremely kind for those that are "fried" too much.Both,too drink ,and to lubricate on burned parts of skin.It gives a "nice,cold,chilling feeling" ;)
