Hydroalcoholic gel has become the star product in the fight against Covid .
Present in all public places, stores or at home, this product is obviously essential for barrier gestures.
The problem is that it is a substance that does not mix well with the SUN!
Dermatologists therefore warn us about the adverse effects that hydroalcoholic gel could produce.
Indeed, this liquid makes our skin more fragile against the already aggressive rays of the sun . Explanations:
The hydroalcoholic gel is composed of 50 to 60% alcohol.
And since alcohol irritates, dries out and can dehydrate the skin, it is not advisable to use hydroalcoholic gel before or during a tanning session.
These negative effects are multiplied by the fact that we use it too much, because its composition gives the impression of rapid evaporation.
It is also not advisable to put it on the skin of children since, by definition, their skin is more sensitive and thinner.
Finally, some manufacturers add essential oils or perfume to their hydroalcoholic gels.
As a result, it can create brown spots on your body if you expose yourself too much to the sun...
So, how to respect barrier gestures in the middle of summer on the beach?
To avoid the risks that hydroalcoholic gel can generate with the sun, simply use soap and cold water.
Thus, no problems of itching or inflammation...
And don't worry, good old soap is just as effective against coronavirus.
Indeed, soaps contain soda and fatty substances that instantly kill all viruses, including Covid-19.
You can therefore, as an alternative to the gel, equip yourself with a small soap or a small bottle of Marseille soap.
Knowing that the beaches are almost all equipped with a shower or tap, you have everything you need to clean yourself properly.
Think about it this summer instead of damaging your skin with hydroalcoholic gel!
