The sunny days have finally arrived, with temperatures rising and life outside calling us. At this time of year, it feels like we're emerging from our shells, and all we want to do is recharge our batteries, replenish our Vitamin D levels, and revel in long sunbaths.
But it's important not to forget: the sun is beautiful and wonderful, but it's also one of the main factors in skin aging (the well-known photoaging), so it's necessary to pay attention and protect the skin during this time when we are more exposed.
Enjoy the sun without risks.
The sun is truly amazing with its beauty and warmth, and undoubtedly its healing power is immense, helping us to regain a good mood. That's why it's so important to enjoy the sun, but responsibly, protecting our health.
A really great principle is that we should avoid sun exposure during peak hours (yes, just like children. The best times to be in the sun are in the morning and late afternoon. Absolutely avoid the 11:30 am - 4:00 pm range). If it's not possible to stay in the shade during the most intense hours, we suggest wearing a wide-brimmed hat and clothing that covers you. And of course, essential whenever we are outside, leaving our skin more susceptible: sunscreen. Our Mineral Stick sunscreen is 100% natural and, being formulated with zinc oxide, truly offers a physical barrier against the sun and is an excellent option. It offers high protection (SPF50) against UVA and UVB rays, without chemical filters and is biodegradable. Enriched with natural fats for well-hydrated skin, and soothing plants for protection and regeneration from sun damage.
Protecting yourself from the inside out.
As we always say: true beauty begins from within. We can't forget that a sunburn is just another form of inflammation. By eating anti-inflammatory fruits and vegetables, you're creating an internal environment better able to cope with the effects of the sun's rays. This is the perfect tip for enjoying beautiful and nutritious fruits while spending the day at the beach. Some favorite foods are tomatoes, which are rich in lycopene (even more so when cooked); matcha , which contains high levels of antioxidants; and leafy greens, which are rich in beta-carotene and folic acid.
Radiant in the Sun
In addition to sun protection and a diet rich in anti-inflammatories and antioxidants, which supports skin health, it is essential to choose the right products to care for and nourish the skin. Our Radiant line, formulated with Bakuchiol, the natural alternative to Retinol, is perfect for enjoying the sun while pampering your skin. Radiant is an anti-blemish line that can be used without any problem during the day (unlike products with retinol, which are incompatible with sunlight), and consists of the Radiant Essence , with aloe vera, to refresh, soothe and prepare the skin for the absorption of the range's botanical actives; the Radiant Serum , a light and super-nourishing formula with bakuchiol, with anti-blemish and anti-aging action; and the Radiant cream , which improves skin texture, making it plumper and firmer, as it stimulates collagen formation naturally. With active ingredients that protect the skin from external aggressors and support its regeneration in cases of melasma, sun spots, and hyperpigmentation.
