If for some years now we have heard that it is more than important to protect ourselves from the harmful rays of the sun, we are tempted to tan more quickly by choosing a lower sunscreen.
Yes, the sun brings us warmth, good mood and tanned complexion, but its rays are dangerous adversaries for our health and nobody is immune to skin cancer due to irresponsible exposure to the sun.
Hence the importance of applying a sunscreen, a single shield that protects the skin from UVA / UVB and sunburn, both responsible for aging skin.
Sunscreen: How to choose it?
Whether it is a tinted or normal sunscreen, in spray, milk, oil or gel, the most important point remains the choice of the index, which is usually offered between 15 and 50 , depending on its phototype and l 'sunshine.
- The protection index
Black skins should choose a solar index of between 15 and 25, matt skins for an index of 30 and clear skins should have an index of 50 or 50 .
For a uniform tan and especially to preserve the youthfulness of its skin, it is essential to choose a cream that filters the UVA and UVB and to always think to apply it every two hours and after each bathe if the sun cream is not not resistant to water.
- The texture
In our beach bag, we find the traditional creams and solar sprays, but also new textures and innovative products: freshness foam, anti-sand mist, wet skin gel or bi-phase skin-perfecting oil.
How to tan safely?
Stop intensive tanning sessions! We learn to sunbathe responsible to respect our sun capital.
The most important point (apart from the regular application of sunscreen): the hours of exposure.
We are careful not to expose ourselves between 12:00 and 16:00, the most dangerous hours in terms of solar intensity.
