Look after your skin during a perfect beach day at Balneario Illetas

Sunny skies and long, blissful hours by the sea. It’s easy to see why thousands of holidaymakers choose Mallorca as their perfect destination for soaking up the Mediterranean sun. And if there’s one place where that beachside dream comes to life, it’s at a beach club in Illetas. Picture yourself stretched out on a comfy sun lounger, sea breeze on your face and a refreshing drink in hand. That dream becomes reality at Balneario Illetas.

But while we’re enjoying the warmth of the Mediterranean sun, it’s essential to remember how important it is to protect our skin. Summer in Mallorca brings plenty of glorious sunshine – and with it, a lot of UV (ultraviolet) exposure, both UVA and UVB rays.

Soak up the sun safely at your beach club in Illetas

UVB rays are the main culprits behind sunburn. They’re strongest during the middle of the day and damage the outer layers of your skin. Repeated, unprotected exposure to UVB rays can significantly increase your long-term risk of skin cancer.

UVA rays penetrate more deeply into the skin and are mainly responsible for premature ageing – wrinkles, sunspots and reduced elasticity. Unlike UVB rays, UVA rays stay fairly consistent throughout the day and can even go through glass.

The good news is that you can enjoy a perfect day at our beach club in Illetas and still take great care of your skin. With just a few good habits, you can make the most of the sunshine while keeping your skin healthy and glowing.

With just a few good habits, you can make the most of the sunshine while keeping your skin healthy and glowing.

Choose a good sunscreen
Go for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. Apply it generously to all exposed skin at least 20 minutes before heading out into the sun.
Make sure to choose sunscreens for both your face and body, bearing in mind your skin type, whether it’s dry, sensitive, oily, or prone to eczema. There are plenty of options to meet every need!

Reapply frequently
Don’t forget to apply more sunscreen at least every two hours – and always after swimming, sweating or drying yourself off with a towel.

Find some shade
When the sun is at its strongest, from about midday to 4pm, it’s best to take cover under some shade. When you book a sun lounger at Balneario Illetas, you’ll also have your own parasol to help you stay cool and protected.

Stay hydrated
Drinking plenty of water is key to keeping your skin healthy and hydrated. And after sun exposure, moisturising is essential to soothe and nourish your skin.
At Balneario Illetas, you can sip on delicious fruit smoothies, refreshing soft drinks or cocktails, served right to your table or sun lounger.
