10 Tips for Taking Care of Your Skin During Carnival

The festivities are approaching, and there's nothing better than enjoying them while remembering to protect your skin! Dr. Renata Melo warns: "Excessive sun, sweat, and makeup can cause irritations and even accelerate skin aging. Small care makes all the difference in maintaining the health and glow of your skin during Carnival."

1-    Hydration is everything! Drink plenty of water before, during, and after the festivities. This helps prevent outbreaks and keeps your skin healthy. 2-    Balanced diet Opt for light and nutritious meals, such as salads, vegetables, pasta, and lean meats. These foods provide energy and prevent gastrointestinal discomfort. 3-    Always use sunscreen! Apply a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher and reapply every two hours. If possible, choose physical sunscreens, which adhere better to the skin and provide longer protection. 4-    Advance protection Apply sunscreen 30 minutes before leaving home to ensure maximum effectiveness. 5-    Protective clothing Make use of hats and clothing with UV protection factor to avoid sunburn and heatstroke. 6-    Don't forget exposed areas Your neck, ears, hands, and feet also need sun protection! 7-    Be careful with citrus fruits! Avoid direct contact of the skin with lemon, tangerine, and cashew drinks and popsicles, as they can cause stains and burns under the sun. 8-    Pay attention to makeup Check the expiration dates of products, especially those containing glitter, to avoid allergies. 9-    Gently remove makeup No scrubbing your face! The doctor recommends: The ideal is to use oily makeup removers, such as cleansing oil or biphasic micellar water. Let it sit for a few minutes before removing, to avoid irritations. 10- Take care of your skin between the parties Invest in masks and moisturizers to recover your skin and maintain fluid intake to balance hydration.
