However, in the summer, when the sun is most harmful, skin care becomes a question of health. Spain is a country that enjoys a privileged climate, sought out by thousands of tourists that visit all throughout the year. However, while it is true that sun exposure is beneficial for your health, this type of climate can also heighten your risk of skin cancer. Australia and New Zealand are the countries with the most cases of skin cancer, due to the extreme exposure to sun rays, but in Spain the number of cases is rising as well, especially during the last 30 years. For this reason, it is very important to use quality sunscreens that protect from the sun.

Being in the sun in the middle hours of the day, between approximately 11 am and 4 pm, is not the best time, keeping in mind that this is the time when the sun will hit your skin the strongest. If you still want to, it\u2019s crucial to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/body-facial-treatments-barcelona\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>prepare your skin<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with a good sunscreen before going outside. Generally, it is advised to apply it half an hour before, but lately some experts have said that is not necessary to wait that long. The application of sunscreen should be generous and cover <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/cruetly-free-cosmetics-in-barcelona\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>all areas of skin<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and should be reapplied after swimming or sweating profusely.
