Hot and humid weather means tanning. Prolonged exposure to the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays can leave skin looking dark, dull, and uneven. Almost everyone uses sunscreen to prevent this tanning. But if you see that the skin is not glowing even after using sunscreen, then you have to worry about it.

Focus on healthy eating.

Sunscreen is the first step in protecting the skin from the sun’s harmful rays. Sunscreen should be applied at least 15-20 minutes before going outside. Because if you don’t give it time to set, it won’t do any good if you sweat it as soon as you go out. Moreover, if you are going to be outside for a long time, it is better to reapply sunscreen every 2-3 hours.

  • But sunscreen can’t do it all. The body needs to heal itself from the inside to avoid the long-term damage that the sun causes to the skin. Drink enough water every day and include fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts and antioxidant-rich foods in your diet.
  • Clean your face, neck and neck by scrubbing well with a mild face wash after returning home. Sweat, dust and pollution particles can get stuck on the skin. So it is very important to deep cleanse it. In this case, it is better to use natural ingredients rather than artificial cosmetics. Natural ingredients like milk, gram flour, honey keep the skin healthy.
  • But perhaps nothing is as harmful as UV rays. Therefore, it is better to wear light colored clothes that cover the entire arm during this time. Keep umbrella, hat, sunglasses with you in daily life. Cover your head with a scarf.
Using sunscreen but still tanning? Make these 3 lifestyle changes
Always keep sunglasses, umbrella with you.

Many people think that if the sky is cloudy, that is, if the sun is not directly visible, there is no fear of UV rays. So you can avoid sunscreen on such days. But such an idea is completely wrong. Sunscreen should be applied regularly every day, no matter how cloudy the sky is. Even on the day you stay at home, rub a small amount of sunscreen between the palms of your hands and apply it to your face and neck. There is no fear of tanning if you take adequate care of your skin and health.
