Sun protection

Some final suggestions

If you bear in mind everything that we've explained here, and also take into account the following bits of advice, you shouldn't have any problems next time you go to the beach.

- Avoid perfumes and alcohol-based colognes that contain vegetal essences, because they make the skin more sensitive to light.

- Pick the suncream most suited to your skintype (minimum factor 15).

- Use suncream even if it's not sunny.

- Drink plenty of water and other liquids to avoid getting dehydrated.

- Keep moving, don't stop. It's not advisable to lie down and stay in the same position for hours.

- Avoid exposure to the sun at the times when its radiation is most intense.
