Summertime - Sun, Sea, Sand and Skincare

It's summer and the sun is shining high in the sky like a daily reminder that the time of holidays, beach parties and swimming is now among us. This is the perfect moment to put your worries aside and join your friends for a week-end at the beach, a party blasting its way late into the night or a day of lazing in the sun. All around, people are looking for ways of avoiding the daily chores and routine so they can grab some fun and relaxation time. However, going to the beach is an activity that tends to raise some problems of its own, especially for people suffering from acne.

While being out in the sun, lying on a beach towel and enjoying the wind in your hair and the sight of the sea is one of the best pastimes ever, you should keep in mind that the combination of wind-borne sand and UV rays is not good for your skin. This means that your beach kit should include some skincare items in order to prevent a worsening of your acne due to exposure to the elements. And don't forget the ClearPores protection cream that will keep the pesky sand and dust from finding a new home in your pores.

Many people think that getting a suntan helps fight acne, but this is actually a myth. It's true that tan drives pimples away, but that's only because ultraviolet rays burn the topmost layer of your skin to a nice crisp. As soon as that layer of skin is gone, the pimples will appear once more. And the same goes for sun beds and other artificial tanning devices. They operate on the same principle as natural tan and carry the same risks. Your best option is to get a sunscreen lotion because burning off your pimples at the risk of getting skin cancer is simply not worth it. Avoid oil-based sunscreens since the oil can clog your pores just as easily as sebum does.

Wind-borne sand is another thing you should look out for. The combination of wind and sand dries out your skin and may block the pores, thus potentially worsening your acne. Be careful to cleanse your face after leaving the beach. The basic idea is that exposure to the dust, wind, sun and seawater are not likely to have positive effect on your condition.

Bathing in the sea is lots of fun, but it's not without risk. Unlike tap water, sea water is salty and also contains a lot of chemicals that are not good for your skin. This doesn't mean that you should get paranoid and keep to the beach, but some precautions are in order. Just as recommended above, don't forget to cleanse your face and apply some protection cream when you get home.

So make sure you can prevent and contain and possible bad effects of your trip to the beach. ClearPores is a good answer to all these problems. The deep body and face washes will unclog your pores and clear away any dirt and bacteria, while the herbal supplement will kill any tough bacteria from the inside. Finally, the protection cream is here to round up the acne destruction system by preventing future breakouts. This anti-acne system is the best solution you could hope for.
