Whether you\u2019re planning a fun-filled family beach vacation or you\u2019ve got a poolside spot with your name on it, the last thing you probably want to be doing this summer is worrying about skin cancer and other damaging skin concerns. But as you most likely already know, too much time in the sun can lead to these skin care problems. So, is the only way to protect your skin this summer to simply stay indoors? Absolutely not! <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While you do want to pay attention to how much time you\u2019re spending out in the sun, you can significantly reduce your risk of developing melanoma and other skin problems by sticking to these four handy summer skin care tips.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Slather on the Sunscreen<\/span><\/h3>\n

We couldn\u2019t mention summer skin care without addressing sunscreen, right? But as it turns out, there are actually quite a few factors that can go into choosing the perfect sunscreen to offer the best UV protection while also not cramping your style. First, you want to make sure that your sunscreen doesn\u2019t contain harsh chemicals that can actually lead to skin irritation. When possible, look for products that contain zinc and\/or titanium dioxide rather than chemicals like oxybenzone or avobenzone. Secondly, take a look at the SPF protection offered in your sunscreen. Typically, our Pittsburgh dermatologist recommends using SPF 30 or higher for the best UV protection. (<\/span>Environmental Working Group<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We love Skinceuticals\u2019 <\/span>Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50<\/span><\/a> because not only does it contain natural zinc oxide and offer great UV protection, but it\u2019s also formulated to go on clear and effortlessly. So don\u2019t let myths about natural sunscreens leaving white streaks stop you from getting the best sun protection out there.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Don\u2019t Forget to Exfoliate<\/span><\/h3>\n

Exfoliating can help you achieve that smooth, glowing summer skin that you\u2019re craving, and the best part is that it takes very little time and effort. Simply choose a gentle exfoliating buff and apply your favorite face cleanser to it to sweep away any dead skin cells, dirt, and oil that have built up on the surface of your face. In doing this, you can reveal the fresh new layer of skin underneath to give you that glowing look. Keep in mind, though, that if you have very sensitive skin, you may want to exfoliate only once or twice a week for best results. (<\/span>American Academy of Dermatology<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Wear Sun-Protective Clothing<\/span><\/h3>\n

Another great way to give your skin a break from the sun while still getting to enjoy the beautiful summer weather is to pack a few pieces of sun-protective clothing in your beach bag. Wearing a wide-brimmed sunhat (with few holes so as to limit sun penetration) or a pool coverup over your bathing suit can be easy additions to your summer skin care routine. Not to mention the fact that you get to look stylish while staying protected.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s also worth mentioning that this can (and should) also include a great pair of sunglasses that offer either 99% or 100% UVA and UVB protection to make sure your eyes aren\u2019t exposed to the sun\u2019s damaging rays, either.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Skip the Tanning Bed<\/span><\/h3>\n

While most people\u2019s ideas of a relaxing summer day might include some good old-fashioned sunbathing, you really do want to limit your exposure to UV light, which also includes indoor tanning beds. It may not be breaking news anymore, but it\u2019s worth stressing that tanning beds can cause a whole host of skin care problems, including severely upping your risk for skin cancer. If you really want to give your skin a subtle boost of that summer glow, choose a gentle sunless tanner instead of heading for the tanning salon. (<\/span>American Academy of Dermatology<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bottom Line<\/span><\/h3>\n

There\u2019s no need to limit your fun this summer in order to keep your skin looking healthy, young, and glowing. By simply paying attention to how much time you\u2019re spending in the sun, as well as following these four useful skin care tips, you can easily enjoy the best of both worlds.<\/p>\n

If previous sun damage is a concern, it can be a good idea to consult a board-certified dermatologist for more information about the variety of minimally invasive skin care treatment options now available to restore a more youthful appearance to the skin. Our Board-certified Plastic Surgeon, Board Certified Dermatologist and Aesthetic Physician Assistants can offer professional guidance on the best skin care treatments for each individual.<\/p>\n
