1. Reasons why your skin is prone to irritation from swimming in the sea

When swimming at the beach, you often spend long periods outdoors, which means you're more likely to be exposed to ultraviolet rays for extended periods.

Ultraviolet rays can cause not only sunburn, but also blemishes, dullness, dryness, and loss of firmness in the skin.

Additionally, if salt from seawater, sand, or sweat remains on the skin, it can cause dryness, itchiness, and redness.

People with sensitive skin may experience tightness, stinging, or redness after swimming in the sea, so proper care before and after is important.

2. Skincare items to pack for a beach trip

1) Sunscreen for swimming in the sea

On days when you go swimming at the beach, it's recommended to choose a waterproof sunscreen.

However, sunscreen can easily wash off due to sweat, seawater, and friction from towels.

In addition to applying it once in the morning, reapply it frequently, approximately every 2-3 hours.

2) Beach hat

When swimming in the sea, not only your face but also your scalp and neck are areas that are easily exposed to ultraviolet rays.

Wearing a hat with a wide brim makes it easier to protect your face and neck from UV rays.

If you are particularly concerned about blemishes or dullness, it's a good idea to use sunscreen and a hat together.

 

3) Moisturizing items

After swimming in the sea, your skin tends to dry out easily due to the effects of ultraviolet rays and seawater.

Having a facial mist, moisturizing cream, and lip balm on hand makes it easier to care for your skin when it feels dry.

Even in the sticky summer months, moisturizing is essential to protect your skin's moisture.

3. Proper skincare methods after swimming in the sea

After swimming in the sea, first gently rinse off the seawater, sand, and sweat with a shower.

Scrubbing too hard can irritate the skin, so it's important to wash your face and body gently.

Sunburnt skin tends to become sensitive, so avoid scrubs and strong peels, and focus on moisturizing and soothing.

If your skin is red or flushed, one method is to gently cool it with a cold towel.

4. Treatments you can consult about at a cosmetic dermatology clinic

If you are concerned about blemishes, dullness, dryness, enlarged pores, or acne after swimming in the sea, you can consult with a dermatologist to have your skin condition checked.

If you are concerned about dullness or uneven skin tone after sun exposure, we may consider toning treatments or brightening care tailored to your skin condition.

Also, if you're concerned about unwanted hair before going swimming in the sea, consulting about laser hair removal is one option.

However, since skin is easily irritated immediately after sun exposure, it is important to determine the timing of the treatment while monitoring your skin condition.

5. Q&A

Q1. Is sunscreen necessary to bring when going to the beach?

Yes, it is necessary.

Since you're likely to be exposed to ultraviolet rays for extended periods while swimming in the sea, sunscreen is an essential item to have with you.

Because it can easily wash off with sweat or seawater, reapply it frequently.

 

Q2. Is a hat necessary when swimming in the sea?

Hats are useful for protecting your face, scalp, and neck from UV rays.

Using sunscreen in combination with hats and sunglasses will make it easier to protect yourself from UV rays.

 

Q3. Why does my skin get dry after swimming in the sea?

This is because ultraviolet rays, salt in seawater, sweat, and showers can easily cause the skin to lose moisture.

After swimming in the sea, it's important to gently rinse your skin and then moisturize.

Swimming in the sea is one of the joys of summer, but it's also a situation where your skin is easily exposed to UV rays, dryness, sweat, and irritation from seawater.

When going to the beach, be sure to prepare sunscreen, bring necessary items, and wear a beach hat. After swimming, moisturize and soothe your skin as soon as possible.
