What are the sun benefits effects on your skin ?
In small quantities, the sun is beneficial and become real skin therapy; for example, it is indispensable for vitamin D synthesis, and therefore plays a vital role in bone calcification.
In fact, the UVB rays it emits promote the synthesis of vitamin D, the key to bone growth. UV radiation, used under medical supervision, is also used to treat a number of illnesses, including rickets, psoriasis, eczema and jaundice.
Exposure to the sun for 10 to 15 minutes, 2 to 3 times a week, is enough to meet vitamin D ; it is also beneficial in preventing osteoporosis in the elderly.
Why use sun care in last during our skincare steps ?
The sun accelerates the aging of your skin, and the most visible effects are solar lentigines, also commonly known as “brown spots” or “sun spots”.
They are the result of melanin deposits in the epidermis or dermis. They are a common form of hyperpigmentation, appearing as small, flat, darkened areas of light brown to black. These brown spots accumulate on the areas most exposed to the sun, such as the face, neck, shoulders, décolleté, forearms and back of hands.
The use of sun care products protects the skin from harmful effects and slows down the aging process. Therefore is an essential to add on your skincare steps.
Why is the sun a false friend of acne?
Have you ever heard of keratinization?
The term keratinization refers to the hardening of skin cells. The summertime improvement that people with acne-prone skin notice at the start of sun exposure is often short-lived. At first, it's true, UV rays help to dry out the surface layer of the epidermis, and with it the P. acnes bacteria responsible for acne. Skin texture appears smoother and more even, and pimples diminish. A few weeks later, however, the skin takes its revenge, and breakouts return with a vengeance - the so-called “rebound effect” of acne. In concrete terms, the skin becomes thicker, because it is actually harder for it to eliminate its dead cells, and sebum and all the skin impurities that have trouble evacuating clog up its pores, encouraging the appearance of blackheads and microcysts with the risk of infection (it's a bit like when the pipes are blocked and can no longer do their job of evacuating waste).
How can our Environmental Protection, a daily use product, be effective against the sun...and much more besides?
You can talk about “good skin”, but before you do, it's essential to know that you need to adapt your skincare routine to your skin's specific needs.
