What to do in the event of a burn? And better yet, how do you avoid it next time?<

What to promote tanning

Do you want to get a tan, prolong your tan and "help" your skin with the onslaught of sun rays? Beta-carotene has these properties. However, so that your effort does not lose its effect, it is advisable to start using it about three weeks before leaving for the sea.

It is up to you whether you include foods rich in beta-carotene in your diet (carrots, strawberries, blueberries, mangoes, apricots, spinach) or whether you choose to use dietary supplements (Walmark, Revital, Medpharma).

Beta-carotene benefits the skin and helps maintain its appearance. Tablets are usually taken every other day or, in case of intense sun exposure, every day, depending on the type of preparation. The products also differ in price, one capsule costs approximately 50 to 20 crowns, there are packs of one hundred to one hundred and fifty capsules, but also smaller ones with, for example, thirty pills.

9 tips for proper tanning

1. Never go in the sun when it is at its strongest, which is around 11am to 4pm.

2. Apply the cream to the skin approx. 20 minutes before starting to sunbathe, the creams must be perfectly absorbed into the skin.

3. Buy sun cosmetics (Ladival, Daylong, Bioderma, La Roche Posay, Nivea) with UVA and UVB labels. Only then will you be protected against both burning and cell damage in the course of tanning. Reapply the "tanner" after a certain period of time, even if it is waterproof. For example, when wiping with a towel and bathing, you disrupt the shield against the sun.

Tip: In order not to forget to lubricate yourself, set a timer on your mobile phone.

4. Also focus on the lips and the delicate skin of the nipples. Apply the cream to the ears as well and don't forget the insteps, scars, birthmarks and the like.

5. If you have a mole on your skin (constantly growing, changing color, etc.), do not wait for anything and go to the doctor. Do not expose the risk sign to the sun.

6. Fix your hair with a protective spray with SPF, women can braid long hair and hide it under a straw hat. Also think about quality sunglasses.

7. Do not hesitate to download a smart application to your smartphone that will help you tan safely. If you have small children, read how to protect them from the sun.

8. Drinking enough is a must. Limit coffee and black tea while sunbathing. They excessively dehydrate the organism.

9. After being in the sun, don't hesitate to take a shower (you can use a special after-sun shower milk), rid your skin of chlorine from the pool, or sand and salt from the sea, and then treat it with an after-sun moisturizing milk. Regular hydration of the skin will prevent the skin from peeling and your tan will last longer.

SOS or burnt skin

Have you fallen asleep in the sun or underestimated the use of sunscreen? For example, white yogurt will relieve the burning sensation and pain.

Special cooling emulsions, balms and sprays (Avene Sun, Altermed Panthenol Forte, Virde Aloe vera, Evelyn Sun Care, Piz Buin After Sun) will also relieve you, preferably containing panthenol, aloe vera or other substances that soothe irritated skin. Choose from a range of after-sun preparations that cool, regenerate and hydrate irritated skin.

Do not go in direct sunlight, stay cool, protect the burned areas with clothing or a strong sunscreen (SPF 50) to prevent further burns.

If you develop painful blisters, do not puncture them under any circumstances and rather go to the doctor.
