Summer wellness: health, beauty, and lifestyle tips
As summer progresses, various experts provide guidance on managing the effects of sun, salt, and chlorine on personal health and lifestyle.
Medical professionals warn against otitis externa, or swimmer’s ear, noting that moisture in the ear canal can lead to painful infections. Experts advise against using cotton swabs, which can damage the natural protective barrier of cerumen. Regarding hair care, specialists from Hospital Capilar suggest that pool chlorine is often more damaging to hair structure and color than seawater, which primarily causes dehydration.
For skin and nail maintenance, experts recommend daily hydration, the use of SPF on hands to prevent UV damage to keratin, and regular exfoliation to remove salt and chemical residues. Natural hair masks involving ingredients like honey, milk, or avocado are suggested to combat summer dryness.
In terms of legal and lifestyle matters, the Urban Leasing Law (LAU) dictates that tenants generally have the right to use community facilities like swimming pools if they are included in the rental agreement. Additionally, fashion retailers like Zara are introducing lighter, professional attire, such as linen trousers, to facilitate the transition from summer holidays back to office environments.
