How to protect the skin in summer

Summer is synonymous with sun, beach, and outdoor activities. But it is also a time when the skin needs more attention than ever. Prolonged sun exposure can accelerate skin aging, cause dehydration, and generate long-term damage if proper precautions are not taken. 

In this article, we explain how to protect the skin in summer and how Beauty Creamer from Baía Food can help you care for it from the inside.

Sun protection: the first shield against damage

Using sunscreen is essential. It is recommended to apply a photoprotective product with SPF 30 or higher at least 15–30 minutes before sun exposure, covering sensitive areas such as the ears, neck, décolleté, and the tops of the feet. In addition, it is key to reapply it every two hours, or after swimming or sweating.

Do not forget to include a lip balm with sun protection, as the lips are also vulnerable to the sun.

Clothing, shade, and sun smart choices

Clothing also provides protection. Choose garments with dense fabrics, dark colors, or UPF technology (Ultraviolet Protection Factor). And, of course, use wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses for complete physical shielding.

Avoid direct sun exposure between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., when UV rays are strongest. Seeking shade or alternating with indoor spaces is also part of smart care.

Hydration, both external and internal

Heat causes water loss through sweat, which can leave the skin dry, tight, and dull. Drink at least 1.5–2 liters of water per day, and reinforce hydration with water-rich foods such as watermelon, cucumber, or melon.

It is also advisable to use moisturizers, aloe vera gels, or after-sun lotions to soothe and hydrate the skin after exposure.

Antioxidants and collagen: nutrition that protects from within during summer

Diet also plays a fundamental role in skin care. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables with intense colors (carrots, tomatoes, berries, spinach) provides antioxidants such as vitamins C and E and beta-carotene, which protect cells against oxidative damage.

This is where Beauty Creamer from Baía Food comes in: a supplement formulated with hydrolyzed Peptan® collagen and vitamin C , two key ingredients for maintaining firm, hydrated skin protected from oxidative stress.

• Peptan® collagen supports skin elasticity, hydration, and regeneration.

• Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant and cofactor in collagen synthesis, multiplying its benefits.

During summer, when the skin is exposed to greater wear and tear, incorporating Beauty Creamer into your routine can make a difference in the prevention of premature aging, loss of firmness, and skin dehydration.

All you need to do is dissolve one tablespoon a day in your coffee, smoothie, or plant-based drink to strengthen your skin from within, in an easy and delicious way.

Some frequently asked questions about skin protection and Beauty Creamer

1. Does Beauty Creamer protect the skin from the sun like a sunscreen?
No. Beauty Creamer works from within, improving skin health and its regenerative capacity, but it does not replace the use of external sunscreen. Both complement each other for complete care.

2. When do the effects of collagen on the skin start to become noticeable?
Results are usually noticed after 4 to 8 weeks of continuous use, depending on the skin’s initial condition and consistency of use.

3. Can I take Beauty Creamer only in summer?
You can, but it is ideal to take it all year round. In summer it is especially beneficial due to the greater stress the skin undergoes, but continued use offers more lasting and deeper results.

This summer, care for your skin intelligently: protect it from the outside with sunscreen and from within with Beauty Creamer. Your skin will thank you.
