plays a crucial role in protecting the skin from the harmful effects of UV rays, the main cause of skin darkening, aging, and skin cancer. To use sunscreen effectively, keep the following tips in mind:

Apply the right amount: Apply an amount of sunscreen equal to 2 dimes to the entire face and neck, then apply an additional amount equal to that to the rest of the body, including the ears, lips, and the backs of the hands.

2 Don’t forget to hydrate and soothe your skin

Harsh sunlight and a hot environment are the number one enemies of the skin, causing it to lose moisture, become dry, and lose its elasticity. To protect your skin during the summer, you need to focus on hydrating and soothing it.

To moisturize your skin, you should choose a moisturizer that is right for your skin type.

  • Dry skin: Choose a moisturizer with a creamy or milky texture.
  • Oily skin: Choose a moisturizer in a gel or lightweight lotion form.
  • Combination skin: Choose a moisturizer with a gel-cream texture.

In addition, you should apply moisturizer twice a day: In the morning after washing your face and in the evening before going to bed. You must also use a moisturizer with an SPF of 30 or higher to protect your skin from the harmful effects of UV rays.

In addition, you should use soothing skin care products containing ingredients such as , or after sun exposure to minimize skin irritation, apply a soothing mask once or twice a week, and drink plenty of water to hydrate your skin from the inside out.

3 Exfoliate weekly

Dull, lifeless skin is often caused by a buildup of dead skin cells on the surface. Regular exfoliation is key to achieving a bright, radiant complexion.

Use gentle exfoliating products once or twice a week to remove rough, dull skin, increase the absorption of nutrients, and stimulate the production of new skin cells.

4 Brighten with vitamin C serum daily

Serum is a must-have secret weapon in your skincare routine, helping you achieve a bright, even-toned, and radiant complexion. Thanks to its powerful antioxidant properties, vitamin C not only effectively fades dark spots and freckles but also stimulates collagen production, increasing the skin’s elasticity, making it firmer and more youthful.

Make vitamin C serum an indispensable part of your daily skincare routine, especially in the morning.

5 Drink enough water, get enough sleep

To achieve a radiant, white complexion, in addition to using the right skin care products, we cannot ignore two important factors: Water and sleep.

Water plays a vital role in maintaining the skin’s moisture, helping it to be soft, smooth, and supple. Drinking enough water each day (about 2 liters) helps the skin to be fully hydrated from the inside out, thereby promoting metabolism, eliminating toxins, and preventing aging.

During sleep, the skin has time to repair and regenerate itself after a long day of exposure to the external environment. Getting enough sleep (about 7-8 hours each night) helps the skin to increase its production of , , thereby reducing wrinkles, fading dark spots, and improving the skin’s brightness and smoothness.

Don’t forget to wear a hat, a face cover, long sleeves, and sunscreen to protect your skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays. In addition, you need to limit direct exposure to sunlight between 10 am and 4 pm, when UVA and UVB rays are at their strongest.
