How to Prepare for Summer to Prevent Sun Damage: 6 Tips

Summer has arrived, vacations are planned, and the first weekend getaways have already begun.

Whether at the beach or in the mountains, we seek the sun. However, we know that the sun that warms and tans us creates irreversible skin damage, visible both in the short and long term.

6 Essential Tips

Stay hydrated - drinking water is the first fundamental step. At least 1.5 liters, preferably more. Include plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Replenish lost minerals through a balanced diet, potentially supplemented with mineral supplements.

Protect your skin from sun exposure using high SPF protection, starting from 50+ for the face. Sunscreen should be reapplied multiple times daily. While it won't completely prevent tanning, it will prevent skin discoloration, burns, and loss of essential proteins like collagen and elastin that provide skin elasticity, and prevent skin cancers. Remember to protect the entire body by applying at least SPF 30+ multiple times daily.

Cleanse your skin. Summer increases perspiration, and clogging pores with heavy creams and foundation promotes comedones and pustules. Proper cleansing and using light, non-occlusive creams is essential. A pre-vacation Hydrafacial with deep facial cleansing helps prepare for vacation with radiant skin.

Despite adequate hydration, skin may appear depleted and less toned in summer. This can be prevented with Skinbooster injections for deep hydration. We utilize a range from extremely light products for young, fine skin to rich formulations that deeply hydrate and nourish. Optimal timing is one session 10 days before vacation and another upon returning to address pre and post-sun exposure.

For those who furrow their brow in sunlight and dislike uneven tanning around the glabella (nose bridge), eye contour, and forehead, we recommend botulinum toxin injections to reduce muscle contraction and relax expression lines. Treatment is advised at least 1 week before departure.
