The weather is hot, so you should not only be wary of heatstroke, but also pay attention to your skin health to avoid various skin problems. Taiwanese plastic surgeon Li Bingxun revealed that multiple protection strategies should be adopted, which can not only avoid heatstroke, but also help prevent skin lesions and tanning.
“The sun is the biggest threat to the skin. If you are exposed to the sun for a long time, the skin may be damaged, it may even cause skin lesions, and the skin may tan.” Dr. Li pointed out that to maintain the health of the skin under the hot sun, the following are 3 key points:
First, it’s crucial to stay hydrated, especially during high temperatures and excessive sweating, when skin can easily become dehydrated. Calculate the required amount of water intake based on your weight to avoid dry skin. In addition, you can also use moisturizing cream or facial mask to deeply moisturize your skin and maintain moisture balance.
Secondly, strict sun protection measures are indispensable. Prolonged exposure to the sun can easily cause sunburn and skin lesions. Whether indoors or outdoors, you should pay close attention to sun protection, choose sunscreen products suitable for your skin type, and reapply them every once in a while, especially after sweating, you should reapply immediately. In addition, sun hats and sunglasses can also increase protection against UV rays and reduce the risk of skin damage.
Finally, you should eat more foods rich in vitamins and antioxidants, especially fruits like watermelon, which are helpful for skin health. In addition, moderate exercise can promote metabolism, enhance immunity, and make skin more shiny and elastic.
All in all, doctors recommend that in hot weather, in addition to preventing heat stroke, you should also pay attention to skin health. The above 3-point strategy can protect the skin and stay away from skin problems.
