Sexy & Safe on the Beach
You want to sparkle when going on the beach? You´re not alone, many people go to the beach only to be dazed by the gorgeous womanly beauty all around and no woman really wants too be considered a sore spot in the beautiful scenery with only their bikinis to cover their bare bodies. No matter if you´re having fun playing beach volleyball, bask in the sun for that sexy tan, or swim in the ocean you want to look sexy. But be careful, not only men will hit on you! The sun as well as wind and salty water try to do the best but in a negative way. So the first thing you need to take care of is protecting your hair and skin.
Protect yourself first!
Sunscreen with a minimum SPF 15-30 is the most essential item on the beach to block off the harmful UV rays from the sun and prevents skin cancer. The best way to apply sunscreen is to exfoliate the skin and remove the dry and dead skin cells and apply sunscreen 20 minutes before venturing outside to allow for your skin to absorb it fully. Reapply sunscreens after every two hours. If you go for a swim or splash in the ocean, apply the sunscreen as soon as you dry off.
Even after when you come home from the beach, do not think that you are safe from the sun indoors until you take care to soothe, cool and moisturize your skin to makeup for any damage that might have occurred during the time you spent on beach. Aloevera is quite good for the purpose. It is better to use oil-free moisturizers after all that sweating on the beach.
Hairs are very much susceptible to damage like skin. Chlorine used in the pool may give a greenish tinge to your hair while salt can dry them up. Wind and humidity on the beach are known to frizz up your hair too and may cause your hair color to fade. To avoid all this and more, shampoo your hair and apply a leave-in conditioner before going to the beach for a swim. After the swim, be sure to use a clarifying shampoo to get rid of the chemical and mineral buildup in your hair.
