Tips from the dermatologist - Skincare in Summer
Dr. Igor Vujic, Dermatologist in Vienna 1030, Offers Expert Summer Skincare Tips and Answers Common Questions
Summer brings sunshine, and with it, harmful UV rays that gradually damage our skin. Prolonged exposure not only increases the risk of skin cancer but also leads to a loss of skin elasticity, making wrinkles more pronounced and often cosmetically undesirable. The heat can also dehydrate the skin, and airborne allergens can further irritate sensitive skin.
How Can I Take Care of My Skin in the Summer? What is the Best Skincare Routine for Summer?
Protecting Children: Sunburns during childhood significantly increase the risk of developing melanoma later in life. The best way to protect children is with high SPF sunscreen (SPF 50+), a hat, and staying in the shade. Avoid direct exposure to the midday sun.
For Adults: I recommend using sunscreen with a high SPF, reapplying it every few hours, especially after swimming or toweling off. Additionally, keeping your skin hydrated from the inside is crucial, so be sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day.
An annual skin check-up is highly recommended, particularly for individuals with fair skin. If you notice any unusual pigmented lesions, contact your dermatologist immediately for an examination
