The sun strives to give us as many problems as possible. How to deal with them?
Problem: Freckles
Cause: Genetic predisposition to hyperpigmentation.
preventive measures. Everyone knows perfectly well that preventing the appearance of freckles is much easier than getting rid of them. Therefore, you need to prepare for the summer in advance - for example, start using sunscreen creams in the spring. In this case, it is necessary to choose means with a high sun protection factor– SPF 20-30. Reduces UV exposure even regular powder without any filters.
Therefore, people who are afraid of the appearance of freckles must definitely powder before going out. And, of course, do not forget about glasses, baseball caps and wide-brimmed hats that cover the face and give shade.
What to do? If freckles still appear, do not rush to get rid of them. Think - maybe a scattering of golden dots will add charm and charm to you? If you are firmly convinced of the opposite, then it's time to make whitening masks. You can buy them at the store, or you can make your own.
One of the most effective is the mask with horseradish and sour milk. It is very simple to make it: you need to mix well a quarter cup of sour milk, 1 tablespoon of oatmeal and 0.5 teaspoon of grated horseradish.

preventive measures. Some drugs cause photosensitivity - azulfidine, biseptol, some antibiotics and contraceptives. These drugs are a contraindication for exposure to the open sun. If photosensitivity is mentioned in the annotation to the drug being taken, then you need to use a cream with a very high protective factor. There is another way out of the situation - to consult a doctor so that he recommends an adequate drug replacement without such a side effect.
In addition to medications, some perfumes, deodorants, and antibacterial soaps can increase sun sensitivity. That is why experts do not recommend washing and perfume before sunbathing.

Problem: Oily skin

Freckles - is it ugly or beautiful?
This question is often asked by people who already have freckles. At the same time, 95% of them are women, while men may not even notice this feature of the skin until they are informed by relatives.
True connoisseurs of beauty and popular couturiers believe that freckles are a special attractive facial feature that gives a person freshness and immediacy. People with freckles usually look younger than they really are. If you pay attention to the faces from the world's catwalks, you can see freckles on every second model. This suggests the conclusion that such a difference as freckles is not only not a defect, but even a fashion trend.
As for the fanatical desire of some people to remove freckles by any means - this is empty and sometimes even dangerous occupation. You don't have to fight nature itself. It is useless to expose your own skin to chemical and traumatic effects, which beauty salons often offer, it is better to come to terms with your own appearance and accept it, and free time and energy to spend on the image and hairstyles.
Unfortunately, there are also negative examples of individuals who paid for trying to get rid of freckles with their health, and some even with their lives.
Most exfoliating and whitening procedures provoke the development of dryness and wrinkles on the skin, and damaged skin begins to age earlier, these are far from the worst consequences.
Only a small proportion of people have permanent freckles, as a rule, such pigmentation is seasonal. If freckles cause psychological discomfort and interfere with a normal life, you need to look for measures to eliminate them, but treatment should begin with gentle methods. Before contacting beauty salons, which rarely employ graduates, you need to visit a dermatologist who will tell you what to do in a particular case.
Freckles are the most striking sign of naturalness and never go out of style. Therefore, it is worth allowing such a feature to decorate the face and turn it from mere pigmentation into dignity.
