Cosmetologist named the main mistake in summer skin care

Dermatovenerologist, cosmetologist Anastasia Razbezhkina told us which mistake is the most important in summer skin care. In an interview with Radio 1 on Tuesday, June 9, the expert recalled that the main factor in skin aging is not age, but exposure to sunlight.

According to her, ultraviolet light accelerates photoaging by destroying collagen and elastin fibers, so even expensive care cannot compensate for the lack of sun protection. The expert noted that the choice of SPF depends on the conditions of being outdoors. For a short stay indoors, funds with SPF 15 may be sufficient, while for walking it is better to choose SPF 30 or 50.

Razbezhkina also explained the difference between physical and chemical filters. The former start working immediately after application and are suitable for sensitive skin, while the latter must be applied in advance, but they have a lighter texture and are almost invisible on the skin. According to the expert, under normal conditions, it is enough to apply sunscreen in the morning, but after bathing or using a towel, the protection should be updated.

Special attention should be paid to vulnerable areas such as the lips, neck, decollete area and the skin around the eyes, which react faster to external factors and need additional protection.
