The summer season comes with sunny days, sea, pools, and enjoyable times spent outdoors. However, increased sunlight, hot weather, and environmental factors can have various effects on skin, hair, and overall body health. Adopting correct care habits during summer can help protect your skin and make you feel better.

The Importance of Sun Protection During Summer

Sunlight is an important source that contributes to the synthesis of vitamin D. However, prolonged and unprotected exposure to the sun can lead to unwanted effects on the skin.

During summer:

• Use of sunscreen products,
• Regularly reapplying sunscreen throughout the day,
• Avoiding direct sun exposure especially during peak sun intensity hours

can help protect skin health.

Post-Sun Skin Care

Maintaining skin's moisture balance after sun exposure is important. Moisturizing care products and natural oils can support the skin care routine.

Coconut oil is one of the natural oils that can help moisturize the skin. After sun exposure, it is recommended to choose care products suitable for the skin's needs.

Note: St. John's Wort oil should not be used before going out in the sun. Follow product instructions before use.

Nutrients Supporting Skin Health

Summer skin care routine is not limited to topical products alone. Balanced nutrition and appropriate supplementation can also support skin health.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system and supports the protection of cells against oxidative stress according to the Turkish Food Codex Regulation on Nutrition and Health Claims.

Collagen

Supplements containing Type I and Type III collagen are among preferred products for individuals who want to support their daily care routine.

Urinary Tract Health Awareness in Summer

With increased use of pools and the sea in summer, paying more attention to hygiene habits is important.

Some support products include:

• Cranberry,
• D-Mannose,
• Vitamin C

which are frequently used in formulas developed for women's health.

Hair and Nail Care in Summer

Sun, seawater, and chlorinated pools can cause hair to dry out and become damaged.

During summer:

• Regular moisturizing of hair,
• Using natural care oils,
• Paying attention to balanced nutrition

can support the hair care routine.

Coconut oil stands out as one of the natural oils preferred in hair care.

Conclusion

Sun protection, regular skin care, balanced nutrition, and proper care habits during summer can contribute to maintaining both skin and overall quality of life. Using sunscreen, adequate fluid intake, and appropriate care products make it possible to spend the summer season more comfortably.
