Be sun proof: Use a good sunscreen of SPF 25 and above for total protection of your skin against the sun. But only using sunscreen on the face wouldn’t help. You need to apply the sun protection lotion all over the exposed areas. Use a good moisturizer as the salty water of the sea will squeeze all the moisture from the skin, leaving it dry and coarse. Apply a moisturizer soon after taking a dip into the sea. Also apply lip balm to the lips which tends to get chapped due to dryness.

Exfoliate with sand: Sand is a natural exfoliator. It helps in removing the dead skin and revealing the inner clean skin.

Follow up with a good moisturizer.

Hair also is extremely vulnerable to heat. Use a good sun proof hair gel or serum to protect the hair from getting damaged from the sun. You can also wisely tie up your hair and wear a hat to protect it from the heat.

Use a soothing bathing gel to take a bath after taking a dip into the salty sea water. A mild cleansing bathing gel would do the trick.

This way you can enjoy your holiday at the beach and yet remain sun safe. Try these simple tips and your skin will never be burnt of the scorching sun. till then, follow these and remain sun proof!
