For photoprotection to be effective, remember to apply it in sufficient quantity, spread it evenly and reapply it every 2 hours, after bathing or sweating. Don't forget sensitive areas such as the edges of the ears, nose and décolleté. In addition to the use of topical photoprotection, use complementary protection methods: accessories such as brimmed hats and adjustable sunglasses. Reinforce skin care with oral photoprotection (in the form of a food supplement) together with a balanced diet. Avoid exposure during the middle hours of the day (between 12:00 and 16:00).
Do not expose babies and young children to direct sunlight. Overexposure causes oxidative damage, leads to photoaging and promotes the appearance of skin diseases. Don't forget to apply aftersun to both your face and body so that your skin maintains the antioxidants and daily hydration it needs. If you take photosensitising medication or have a skin condition, it is especially important to follow these recommendations. In any case, if you develop blisters, fever or a headache after sun exposure, consult your doctor.
