Outdoor activities and sun exposure increase in the summer, especially during vacation.

There are methods to maintain healthy skin during the summer months, such as buying a set of useful and nutritious oils that offer protection from the sun’s rays and gives the body freshness and softness.

*Sesame oil

Sesame oil can be used as sunscreen and is considered a safe alternative for skin protection.

Studies have shown that it can block 30% of harmful rays as it absorbs quickly and acts as a great protection layer for the skin. It can be applied alone or mixed with another oil, which gives the skin softness and tenderness.

The oil can be used on the face and the rest of the body before going to the sea or swimming pool to protect it from sea salts and pool chlorine. It can also be used after showering for a wonderful appearance.
