Are you going on a cruise and want to take the opportunity to relax, enjoy delicious delicacies and sunbathe by the edge of that wonderful pool where they also serve you exotic fruit juices? Yes, I also dreamed of that, and thank goodness a friend was able to alert about the dangers of the sun on the high seas ...because otherwise my trip would have been a disaster.
Now I can boast of fully hydrated skin with a beautiful golden hue. Here are some tips and advice to protect your skin during those days when the sun, the iodine from the sea, the wind will try to wreak havoc.
As I was saying the first thing is to protect the skin, do not forget to put the sunscreen, in my case with a factor of 30, twenty minutes before starting to sunbathe.
Whatever time it is apply the protector on completely dry, clean and makeup-free skin before starting to sunbathe, and renew it every two hours, even if you have not taken any bath, since you will still have sweated, and forget about that urban legend that says that with a protector you cannot reach the dark. That is not the case, remember that the skin is renewed every ten days, so a slow tan also means it lasts longer. Doctors recommend that you do not sunbathe for more than 15 minutes the first 3 or 4 days of being on board.
To make your tan last longer exfoliate your skin, so dead cells will not accumulate and block the sun's rays, also if you do not exfoliate your skin you will not achieve a uniform tan.
Drink a lot of liquids when you are sunbathing, This will not be any problem while you are on board, you can continually go for juices, water and drinks ... but forget about alcohol, alcohol does not hydrate!
And follow always the basic rule in any latitude, yes also in the Caribbean, do not sunbathe between 12 and 4 in the afternoon, even if you already have a good color. Anyway, these tips were very useful to me, I hope they have helped you too.
