The sunny days are finally here, with temperatures rising and life outside calling out to us. At this time of year, we seem to come out of our shells and all we want to do is recharge our batteries, replenish our Vitamin D levels and enjoy long sunbathing sessions.
But we mustn't forget: the sun is beautiful and wonderful, but it's also one of the main factors in skin ageing (known as photo-ageing), so we need to be careful and protect our skin at this time when we're most exposed.
Enjoy the sun without risk
The sun is truly incredible with its beauty and warmth, and its healing power is undoubtedly immense, helping us to recover our good mood. That's why it's so important to sunbathe, but with your head down, protecting your health.
A really good principle is that we should avoid sunbathing at its peak hours (yes, just like children. The best times to be in the sun are in the morning and late afternoon. To be absolutely avoided: the 11:30 - 16:00 range). If it's not possible to be in the shade during the most intense hours, we suggest wearing a large hat and clothing that covers you. And of course, a must whenever we are outside, leaving our skin more susceptible: sunscreen. Our pMineral Stick Sunscreen is 100% natural and, as it is formulated with zinc oxide, it really does provide a physical barrier against the sun and is an excellent choice. It offers high protection (SPF50) against UVA and UVB rays, without chemical filters and is biodegradable. Enriched with natural fats for well-moisturized skin and soothing plants to protect against and regenerate sun damage.
Protect yourself from the inside out
As we always say: true beauty starts from the inside. We mustn't forget that a sunburn is just another form of inflammation. By eating anti-inflammatory fruits and vegetables, you are creating an internal environment that is better able to deal with the effects of the sun's rays. This is the perfect tip for indulging in beautiful, nutritious fruit when you're spending the day at the beach. Some of the favorite foods are tomatoes, which are rich in lycopene (even more so when cooked); the matchawhich 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 to support skin health, it is essential to choose the right products to care for and nourish the skin. Our Radiante range, formulated with Bakuchiol, the natural alternative to Retinol, is perfect for enjoying the sun while pampering your skin. Radiante is an anti-dark spot line that can be used without any problem during the day (unlike retinol products, which are incompatible with sunlight), and is made up of Radiant Essencewith aloe vera to refresh, calm and prepare the skin for absorption of the range's botanical actives, the Serum Seruma light and super nourishing formula, with bakuchiol, with anti-dark spot and anti-aging action, and the Radiant cream cream improves the skin's texture, making it fuller and firmer as it stimulates the formation of collagen naturally.
