The sun is beginning to show its face, and with it the desire to lounge on a deckchair all day long. But be careful, because if you're ready, your skin is certainly not. That's when sunburns start to appear. To avoid this and prepare your skin naturally for the sun, here are our 5 tips.
We're happy when the sun comes out, but don't give it too much time right from the start. In fact, it's advisable to expose yourself to the sun a little at a time, starting with short exposures and gradually extending them. Exposure between 12 noon and 4 p.m. is also not recommended, as this is when UV rays are at their most intense.
These nutrients will help your body effectively prepare your skin against the sun's aggressions.
For them to be effective, it's best to start the cure 3/4 weeks before your first exposure. If you've already been in the sun, don't worry, you can start the treatment right away!
Laboratoire DIELEN has formulated DIELEN® COLLAGENE which combines key natural dermo-nutritional nutrients with structuring, moisturizing and antioxidant** properties.
Its original formula contributes to collagen formation* and protects cells from oxidative stress**. DIELEN® COLLAGENE will contribute to the health* and beauty of your skin**.
2 capsules a day for 3 months, renewable, is recommended.
* Vitamin C supports normal collagen formation for normal skin function.
** Vitamin E helps reduce cellular oxidative stress while maintaining skin elasticity and promoting hydration.
Most of us moisturize our skin after the first few exposures to the sun to prolong our precious tan: WRONG! If the skin is not moisturized before the first exposure (at least 15 days before), the epidermis will be dry, making your skin more sensitive and therefore more likely to suffer in the sun. Moisturized skin, on the other hand, becomes softer, more supple and more resistant to the sun.
Speaking of hydration, let's not forget the fundamental principle of good health: drink water regularly in small quantities.
Even if you follow the above steps to the letter, don't leave the sunscreen in a corner! Because UVA and UVB rays have harmful effects on the skin (sunburn, skin aging, risk of developing carcinogenic cells, etc.), it's vital to protect yourself from the sun.
That's why it's essential to protect your skin with sun creams (SPF 30 to 50, depending on your skin type). Creams aren't just for use at the beach or on vacation, they're also useful when you're having lunch on the terrace, for example. Choose certified organic creams with a mineral filter (without nanoparticles) to limit the impact on marine ecosystems and coral preservation.
Eat a diet rich in vitamins C, E and beta-carotene.
Vitamins C and E have numerous benefits: improved skin healing; anti-aging of cells; prevention of sunburn; rich in antioxidants (protection against the formation of free radicals responsible for skin aging and protection against oxidative stress).
Beta-carotene stimulates the production of melanin, your skin's natural pigment.
Some ideas for beta-carotene-rich fruits and vegetables: melon, spinach, mango, dried apricots, tomatoes...
Now you've got all the cards in hand to bask while taking good care of your skin.
