Introduction
Over the years, the social perception of tanning has undergone a great transformation. Today, tanning is considered a symbol of well-being and high social status. However, to ensure that tanning is synonymous with well-being, it is essential to adequately protect our skin from the sun's rays.
Risk of sun exposure
The sun emits electromagnetic radiation, including UVA and UVB ultraviolet rays. UVA rays are responsible for premature aging and loss of skin elasticity, while UVB rays can cause erythema and sunburn. It is therefore important to protect the skin from damage caused by sun exposure.
5 golden rules for sun protection
- Be patient: expose yourself to the sun gradually and allow the necessary time for the skin to develop its physiological protection.
- Don't overdo it: avoid sun exposure during the hottest hours, between 11 AM and 3 PM.
- Prepare the skin: use specific cosmetic products, such as the Sun Oil product ("), which help prepare the skin for sun exposure, improving pigmentation and making it more even and long-lasting.
- Protect the skin during exposure: choose the appropriate sun protection level for your phototype and apply sunscreen adequately.
- Pamper the skin after exposure: moisturize the skin with nourishing products based on oils and butters.
