| Sun
Exposure : Know your skin type |
|
| |
| The sun
is a synonymous of warmth and well-being. But if
sun exposure is badly prepared, it can cause a lot
of damage such as sun burns, allergies or "hot
flushes". In the long term, sun excess can
cause much more dangerous effects: premature aging
and development of skin cancers (melanones). |
| An adapted sun protection
is therefore essential to only enjoy the beneficial
effects of the sun. All skins do not react the same
way to sun rays. It is important to know your skin
type. It is defined by the color of your skin, of
your hair, your reaction to sunburns and to your
ability to tanning. |

| Amongs
some people, first sun exposures mostly cause cutaneaous
allergies: little pimples and irritations on the
neck and shoulders. Generally, an adapted sun protection
cream and a high SPF helps to prevent or alleviate
these problems. You can also protect your skin before
a sun exposure. You can also start with a cure of
nutritional supplements 15 days before going on
vacation ( two pills everyday before, during and
after your trip). |
| |
| These
nutritional supplements have other beneficial effects: |
They have
a pigmenting effect that enables you to sunbathe
less for an equivalent tanning.
They enable to tan faster and uniformly.
They have a protecting effect against premature
aging of your skin.
They have an hydrating effect that stops cutaneous
dryness and your skin to peel after exposure. |

Golden Rules For A Good Tanning : |
|
| >
Back |
| Sun is
essential to our existence for its metabolic, psychologic
and immunological effects but it can also be harmful:
reduction of skin elasticity, wrinkles development,
rise of skin cancer, and sunburns. |
| |
| Here are
ten golden rules to fully enjoy sunbathing : |
- Avoid sunbathing between 12 p.m. and 16 p.m.,
a period when sun rays are the most intense.
- During the first days, sunbathe progressively
( not more then ¾ hours a day) and avoid
the inmobile sleeping position.
- Apply your sunscreens before going out in the
morning. Reapply them several times a day and particularly
after bathing ( even if most of the sun products
are water-resistant, they do not resist to your
towel drying!)
- Do not expose your children before six months
of age.
- Do not expose children of less three years of
age when the sun's rays are the strongest. Protect
them with a strong rating SPF and put them clothing
that will protect under the sun ( soaked clothes
let UV rays penetrate).
- Wear a hat and sunglasses that filtrate UVA and
UVB rays.
- Be careful with sun overexposures on reflecting
surfaces such as snow, sand and water.
- Height, clouds, wind and beach umbrella are false
friends.
- Dry well after bathing. Water drops have a magnifying
glass effect wich favours sunburns.
- Drink water very often, particularly for elder
people and and children. |

| If you
notice that a beauty spot is changing forms, height
or color, consult your dermatologist. |

| Choose
Your Sun Protection : |

Back |
| An adapted
sun protection is essential to only benefit the
good effects of the sun without risking any complications.
Sun protections are classified by Indice Protection.
The higher the indice the stronger the protection.
The last researches have put in evidence that UVA
rays are as harmful in the long term then UVB rays.
Therefore it is necessary to choose a protection
indice as strrong as the UVA and UVB. |
| The choice
must take in account : |
- The
skin type ( as white is your skin, as strong is
the protection).
- The conditions in which you are going to sunbathe
( as strong is the intensity as strong must be the
protection: mountain, boat, tropical countries)
