High UV levels during summer: what you should know ☀️

During summer, UV radiation levels can become very high, even on days that don’t feel extremely hot. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can damage the skin and eyes over time.

Possible effects of high UV exposure include:

* Sunburn
* Premature skin ageing
* Dark marks and uneven skin tone
* Increased risk of skin problems with repeated exposure

How to protect yourself:

* Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) daily
* Reapply sunscreen every 2–3 hours when outdoors
* Wear protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses
* Seek shade during peak sun hours
* Stay well hydrated

Pharmacy reminder:
Sun protection is important for all skin types. Consistent protection helps prevent long-term skin damage.

Your pharmacist can help you choose suitable sun protection products and give guidance on proper use.

🧼 Dealing with Acne? Here's What You Should Know

Acne is one of the most common — and misunderstood — skin conditions. Whether it’s occasional breakouts or persistent flare-ups, knowing how to manage it can make a real difference.

🔍 What Causes Acne
It happens when pores get clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. Triggers include:
- Hormonal changes (puberty, menstruation, stress)
- Genetics
- Diet and lifestyle
- Skin care habits
- Humidity and pollution

✅ How to Manage It
1. Gentle Cleansing
Wash your face twice daily with lukewarm water and a mild cleanser. Harsh scrubbing makes it worse. Some people benefit from washing with water only in the morning.

2. Hands Off
Touching your face spreads bacteria and can lead to scarring.

3. Use Oil-Free Products
Look for “non-comedogenic” labels on moisturizers, sunscreen, and makeup.

4. Hydration & Diet
Drink water. Eat veggies, fruits, and omega-3s. Cut back on sugar and processed foods.

5. Manage Stress
Stress increases oil production. Sleep, exercise, and mindfulness help.

6. Spot Treatments
Use benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or tea tree oil — but only on affected areas.

7. Exfoliate Wisely
Once or twice a week is enough. Overdoing it damages your skin barrier.

8. Try a Gentle Scrub
If acne persists, Levi Pharmacy offers a herbal scrub with natural ingredients — designed for sensitive skin.

🧠 **Final Thought**
Acne affects more than just your skin — it impacts confidence. Be patient, stay consistent, and treat your skin gently. Levi Pharmacy is here to help.
