A sun care range that protects you effectively

The sun is essential for our health. It’s our primary vitamin D source, which boosts our immune system and is essential for the proper functioning of the body and the consolidation of bones and teeth.

It also lifts mood, thanks to the secretion of endorphins, which produces a relaxing effect.

Ultraviolet rays

Sun exposure poses skin risks: sunburn, premature aging, allergies, and in the most serious cases, cancer.

The sun emits ultraviolet (UV) rays, of which there are two main types:

  • UVA represents 90% of UV rays. Penetrating skin deeply, it causes accelerated aging and can be carcinogenic in cases of overexposure.
  • UVB represents 10%. Remaining at the outer epidermis, it causes tanning but also sunburn with excessive exposure.

What is SPF?

Tanning is primarily a protective skin reaction to aggressive sun rays. The skin darkens by producing melanin to better protect itself from the harmful effects of UV.

However, this natural mechanism is not sufficient to protect your skin effectively. It is imperative to use sun protection:

SPF = Sun Protection Factor

This index measures the level of sun protection. The higher it is, the greater the protection.

  • SPF 30: high sun protection, blocks approximately 97% of UV rays.
  • SPF 50+: very high sun protection, blocks approximately 98% of UV rays.

Which protection index to choose?

The protection index should be chosen based on two factors: your phototype (the lighter and more sensitive your skin is to the sun, the higher the index should be), and the sun exposure conditions (the more intense the sun exposure, the higher the index should be).

How to apply sun care products effectively?

  • 30 minutes before sun exposure, generously apply to exposed skin.
  • Reapply every 2 hours and after swimming.
  • Too much sun is dangerous to your health. Avoid the sun in the middle of the day.

Why do golden tan and sun protection go hand in hand?

  • The skin's sunlight exposure is preserved and risks of skin cancer are limited.
  • Without protection, tanning happens too quickly, the skin thickens to protect itself: the tan looks dull.
  • If tanning happens too quickly and without protection, the risk of peeling increases, and the pigment cells that form the tan are eliminated rapidly.

Conclusion: for a bright, lasting tan, protection is the key!
