As exciting as summer may be, it\u2019s more important than ever to <strong>protect your skin<\/strong> from harmful environmental factors. Changing up your skin care routine to accommodate the increase in <strong>UVA\/UVB rays<\/strong> will ensure that your skin remains out of harm\u2019s way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"highlight\">There are several tips to keep in mind that will maintain your skin\u2019s health throughout the summer.<\/p>\n<h2>Protecting Your Skin from Warm Weather Conditions<\/h2>\n<p>Most people believe that summer weather adds <strong>moisture<\/strong> to their skin, and it\u2019s partly true due to the <strong>sweat and oils<\/strong> that your body accumulates in the heat. But, in fact, your skin is more likely to become <strong>dry<\/strong> thanks to the increase in <strong>sunlight<\/strong>, and without the proper moisturizers, you could be leading your skin into the realm of <strong>premature aging<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Age spots, wrinkles and overall dryness are culprits of too much <strong>sun exposure<\/strong>. Although the sun\u2019s rays may feel good now, they can have detrimental effects on your skin as you continue to age, including an increased risk of <strong>melanoma<\/strong> and other forms of skin cancer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sunscreen<\/strong> is the ultimate defense against sunburn and skin cancer. By applying the product <strong>generously<\/strong> throughout your face and body, you can keep the sun\u2019s rays from inflicting damage. A sunscreen with an <strong>SPF of 15 or higher<\/strong> will provide adequate protection, particularly if you <strong>reapply<\/strong> it once every hour.<\/p>\n<h2>Identifying Your Sensitive Skin Issues<\/h2>\n<p>The sun can also increase the chances of <strong>developing sensitive skin<\/strong>, regardless of whether you are predisposed to certain skin conditions. When your skin becomes dry, it\u2019s unable to <strong>protect<\/strong> itself entirely, which can make it more susceptible to certain skin reactions. Additionally, the influx of oils that your skin produces in the summer can <strong>clog your pores<\/strong> and lead to a response.<\/p>\n<p>You will usually notice a skin reaction if you feel an <strong>itching or burning<\/strong> sensation as well as <strong>redness or tightness<\/strong>. If left to progress, sensitive skin can turn into bumps, flushing or pustules. When such sensations occur, it\u2019s important to consult with a <strong>skin care specialist<\/strong> for an evaluation where you can learn more about the best ways to <strong>prevent breakouts<\/strong> and discomfort.<\/p>\n<p>In the summer, <strong>proper cleansing<\/strong> is essential for the health and clarity of your skin. Eliminating free radicals and debris will keep your pores clear and any reactions at bay. As you cleanse your skin, however, it\u2019s important to keep an eye on <strong>harmful ingredients<\/strong> that could irritate your skin further. Products <strong>without fragrance<\/strong> or that contain only a handful of ingredients will be better suited for your skin.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Moisture<\/strong> is also vital for you skin in the summer months, although it may seem counterintuitive. Because the sun has a tendency to dry out the skin, <strong>nightly moisturization<\/strong> will restore <strong>hydration<\/strong> and protect it from becoming too sensitive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"highlight\">If you would like more information about the best ways to protect your skin during the summer, <a href=\"\/contact\/\">contact Princeton Plastic Surgeons<\/a> and schedule a consultation today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summer is the season of sunshine, and it\u2019s an excuse for everyone to head outdoors and enjoy the weather.
