Whether we have clear, mature or dark skin, our solar protections must adapt to the circumstances. To find the sunscreen you need, follow the guide!
Clear skins, Phototype 1 or 2 (determined by the color of the skin, red, 1, black, 6), are among the personalities at risk in front of the sun. You should also know that Redhead epiderms will never have the chance to sunbathe, so no need to overexious you hoping to win a slight tan. This type of skin does not produce the right type of pigment, brown, which allows you to go for it. You might only have big trouble. Indeed, it is the red pigments that are most likely to develop skin cancer.
Clear, but slightly darker skins, blondcan sunbathe a little, provided you are very careful and not catch sunburn. Also pay attention to brunettes with clear skin with freckles. They often produce a duo of red and brown pigments and will therefore sunbathe, while being part of people at risk.
After several days of exposure and use very high index sun protection (at least 50), You can go to an index 30. For the choice of product, it will depend on tastes, skin type or the area concerned. For the face, we will choose a creamy texture for dry skin, a fluid for oily skin and for the body, milk. The key to getting out of the vicious circle of sunburn is still to very regularly renew its applications,, You have to put about every three hours. The first time before leaving the house, then another time when arriving at the beach and regularly during the duration of the exhibition, of course avoiding leaving between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., the hottest hours of the afternoon.
We will also avoid falling into the parasol trap. We think we are protected by staying in the shade but the reverberation of the sun on the sand sends UV to our skin.
The other advice to follow is to Prepare your skin before exposures, taking beta-carotenes (pigments producing vitamin A and present in fruits and vegetables), naturally or in food supplements. Especially no UV in the cabin so as not to exhaust its sun capital (number of UV that the skin is programmed to stop).
If the evil is done and you have a sunburn, cool the area, hydrate it as much as possible and avoid exposing yourself for at least four days.
Much more sun resistant, the Phototypes 3, 4 and 5 (determined by the color of the skin of the skin, red, 1, black complexion, 6) tan with more or less ease and catch little sunburn. With good sun protection, matte skins are not likely. As for the PBlack waters, phototype 6they are guaranteed never to know redness and other burns. However, this ease of tanning is often a trap and the devastating effects of UV on the skin is fairly quickly neglected. Indeed, dyes of gingerbread can lose their brightness without sun. The latter will therefore sublimate their skin, but young women are often carefree and rarely resist the urge to sunbathe quickly and well, with long exposures and weak clues. The sunburn rarely being there to remind them of the danger they run and the real damage (aging of the skin, melanomas …) are invisible to the naked eye.
Dark skin will always need to protect oneselfbut she will be able to start her exhibitions with lower indices. An index 30 is pretty good to start. The whole thing is to spread enough. Dermatologists believe that the equivalent of a golf ball in cream should be applied on the face. Similarly, women with dark skin sometimes give in to the trend of the “very tanned” and throw themselves on cosmetics with a little protective action but which sublimate their tan, like the grease to trade. It is a product that does not in any way protect the body, quite the contrary, since it increases solar radiation on the skin. Besides, All natural recipes are to be avoided Because many products, such as lemon or oil, can have photosensitizing effects and cause burns. Nothing beats a real cluethat can possibly be lowered as the holidays progress.
The sun is directly responsible for tasksthe new black bane of the Cosmeto. Indeed, many products today boast protective actions for the youth of the skin and slow down the appearance ofhyperpigmentations. A commendable attention when you know that UVAs are responsible for skin aging at almost 80 %. The latter penetrate deep into the dermis, damage the elasticity of the skin and cause, as we have seen, spots. The latter come only from the sun and the more we are exposed, the more we accentuate them. The main targets? Face, neckline and hands. The first two are also particularly sensitive because the skin is finer and relaxation is also much more quickly seen. THE Solar protection Offering antioxidant active ingredients may be of great help, but a classic high index product, type 50+ can just as well do the trick.
Hydration, a little forgotten for the benefit of anti-tache actions, is not to be overlooked because it is thanks to it that we keep the elasticity of the skin. Similarly, a preparation with beta-carotenes (in special sun supplements or naturally with rich foods) before exposure and during is essential because they have a real antioxidant action that acts from the inside. If the signs of aging linked to the sun are already there, only a treatment in a dermatologist (laser, peeling) can overcome it. But you must not be exposed before, or during treatment. So no care of this type before at least November.
If, during your vacation, you are rather the type to love to crash in the woods, make a beach tennis game and/or chain lengths at the outdoor pool, read the following. Indeed, we too often associate sun protection with sunbathing, forgetting that those who are perpetually active must sometimes protect themselves even more and with products well suited to their activities. If you don’t bathe, don’t imagine putting the cream once will protect you. Sweating, wind, friction … It will not protect you forever. Likewise, in water we no longer think of putting protection because we no longer feel the heat, however, the UV are still there. They also penetrate up to 20 cm underwater. On the surface, the reverberation is also very intense.
As a result, the choice of products will first go through the type of formula and texture. It is not always pleasant, when you move, to feel a thick or oily texture. To overcome the problem, Laboratories have designed specific products, in the form of gels, fluids, spray or foggers. They are protective, light and, very often, quick to spread. Note that some even offer a refreshing effect, rather welcome if you do not bathe. Be careful if you practice a nautical sport: the products do not always resist very well. Be careful to choose a well water resistant formula, which still offers a small protection in the water. Another frequent forgetfulness seen in hikers of the holidays: to think that you are protected with your cotton clothes. It is not completely true, thick cotton effectively stops UV, but not fine tissues, which do not stop the UVA on the index side, strong protection is recommended, at least 30. To favor also, stick formats, easily transportable and quick to draw, so as not to forget to hydrate and protect its lips and the eye area.
Long forgotten in the fight against the harmful effects of the sun, the city dwellers that stand away from the beach are starting to discover for a few years Solar protections specially designed for the city. A temporary fad? Not really, tells us our expert, The sun hits as strong in cities as by the sea. Reverberation on white walls or glass facades is also very strong. Without forgetting behind the windows of the cars. It can be seen, the risks of catching sunburn and prolonged stations may start youth from the skin or degenerate into cancer. The first culprits: the terraces of the cafes, where the head is often sheltered under a parasol, but not always the rest of the body. We saw it for “sports”, light clothes are also a problem. Fine fabrics stop UVB, responsible for sunburns, but not the UVA, which attack the skin more in depth.
