The Keys to Solid and Lasting Protection 🌞🥽

Natural sun protection 🌞

"With the arrival of sunny days, enjoying the sun becomes essential, but it is important to take care of your skin against UV rays. Here are some simple and effective tips for optimal protection while enjoying your outdoor activities:"

Why protect yourself? 🥽

Sun protection is essential, especially with the intensification of UV rays in spring. Not only does it protect you from sunburn, but it also prevents premature aging and long-term skin damage. Never underestimate the importance of sunscreen!

More cream for more protection? 🌞

You might think that applying a good layer of sunscreen will make you invincible against UV rays. But be careful, the reality is a bit different! Once applied, sunscreen forms a protective barrier, but this protection fades over time. That’s why it is essential to regularly reapply your sunscreen to maintain good coverage.

'Sun protection in style 🤩'

Who said that sun protection couldn't be stylish? In addition to sunscreen, opt for wide-brimmed hats, trendy sunglasses, and lightweight yet protective clothing. You can be both fashionable and well-protected. A winning combo!

Foods to strengthen protection 🍓

Did you know that certain foods can help protect your skin from the harmful effects of the sun? Enrich your diet with antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables (red fruits, tomatoes, citrus) to complement your sun protection, both from the outside and the inside.

Choose the appropriate protection rating 🛡️

Sunscreens are essential for protecting against UV rays, but do they really block all rays? The answer is no. For example, an SPF 15 blocks about 94% of UVB rays, an SPF 30 goes up to 97%, and an SPF 50 offers 98% protection. The important thing is to find the SPF that matches your skin type and the exposure you will have.

👉🏾You are sensitive to UV rays at the beginning of exposure, more or less prone to sunburn. Therefore, prefer a SPF30 sunscreen for your beach outings, and a SPF50 in case of high heat.

👉🏾If your skin is dark, mixed, or tanned, it's melanin city! Your skin naturally protects itself from UV rays, so sunburns are rare. You can opt for a lower protection factor, such as 15 or 30 for particularly sunny days.

Types of sunscreen filters: chemical or mineral? 🌱

There are two main types of sunscreens: chemical and mineral.

Chemical filters ☣ : are composed of synthetic origin molecules. They penetrate the epidermis and are absorbed by the skin, transforming UV rays into heat and are often avoided in natural cosmetics because they can harm corals and cause allergies.

These filters only become active 20 to 30 minutes after application. Therefore, it is essential to apply sunscreen at least 20 minutes before sun exposure to benefit from optimal protection.

Chemical filter-based sunscreens often contain petrochemical oils and silicones, which provide a smooth texture and easy application.

Mineral filters 🍀 : these filters contain mineral-based (natural) ingredients such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.

Unlike chemical filters, mineral filters sit on the surface of the skin and act like a mirror, reflecting solar rays. This action is immediate, providing protection as soon as applied without any waiting time.

Although in the past they left a whitish film, many modern products have solved this problem.

Natural sunscreen for all tastes 🌿

Natural sunscreens are constantly evolving and come in various forms: creams, sprays, liquid gels, oils, or lotions. There is something for everyone’s taste and preferences!
