With summer fast approaching, days at the beach are the perfect opportunity to relax and enjoy the sun. However, to keep your skin healthy and protected, it is essential to have a beach kit that combines sun protection and post-sun hydration. In this article, we will explore the importance of sun protection, the benefits of hydration after sun exposure and how a beach kit that includes a sun milk spray SPF 50, a hyaluronic acid after-sun body serum with tan activator, contained in a practical blue summer clutch, can be the ideal companion for your summer holidays.
The Importance of Sun Protection: UV Rays and Skin Damage
The sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays are a major cause of skin damage. Prolonged, unprotected exposure to UV rays can lead to sunburn, premature skin aging, sunspots, and an increased risk of skin cancer. UV rays fall into three main categories:
- UVA: They penetrate deeply into the skin and are responsible for skin aging and wrinkles.
- UVB: Causes sunburn and can damage the DNA of skin cells, increasing the risk of skin cancer.
- UVC: They are absorbed by the atmosphere and do not reach the Earth's surface.
Beach Skincare Essentials
Essential beach skincare can consist of just two products:
- A sunscreen with a high SPF of 850+ is ideal (refreshed after each swim to maintain consistent coverage throughout the day and avoid sunburn).
- A highly hydrating aftersun, better if in serum form for better hydration and a sensation of freshness, always pleasant after a day at the beach.
Before Sun Exposure
1. Applying Sunscreen Spray SPF 50 : Spray the sunscreen generously on all exposed areas of the skin at least 15 minutes before sun exposure. Make sure to completely cover all areas, including the face, neck, ears and feet.
2. Reapply Sunscreen : Reapply every two hours or immediately after swimming, sweating or towel drying to maintain optimal protection.
After Sun Exposure
1. Refreshing Shower : After a day at the beach, always take a refreshing shower to remove salt, sand and sunscreen residue.
2. Application of After Sun Body Serum : Apply the serum all over the body, massaging gently until completely absorbed. The serum not only hydrates the skin, but thanks to the tanning activator, it helps to prolong and even out the color.
The products we recommend are included in the Sun Set Care Kit , namely:
Hydrasun Sun Milk Spray SPF 50
Hydrasun Sun Milk Spray SPF 50 is an essential component of any beach kit. This type of sun protection provides an effective barrier against UVA and UVB rays, reducing the risk of skin damage. SPF 50 means that the product protects the skin from approximately 98% of UVB rays, making it ideal for long days outdoors.
Aftertan Antioxidant Body Serum with Tan Activator
Aftertan Antioxidant Body Serum with Tan Activator is perfect for hydrating and soothing the skin after a day in the sun. Hyaluronic Acid is a powerful humectant that attracts and retains moisture in the skin, providing intense and long-lasting hydration. In addition, this serum contains a tanning activator that stimulates the production of melanin, helping to achieve an even and prolonged tan.
Why You Should Moisturize Your Skin After Sun Exposure
Exposure to the sun and salt water can cause skin dehydration, leading to dryness, flaking, and irritation. Post-sun moisturizing is essential to restore the skin's moisture balance, soothe any sunburn, and keep skin supple and soft.
But what is the role of the tanning activator?
Melanin is the skin’s natural pigment that provides protection from UV damage and gives your skin its tanned color. Tan Activator is an ingredient in Aftertan Body Serum that stimulates melanin production, allowing your skin to tan faster and more evenly. This not only improves the appearance of your tan, but can also provide additional natural protection from UV rays.
This ingredient has several benefits:
- Even Tan: The tanning activator helps to achieve an even color all over the body.
- Tan Prolongation: By stimulating the production of melanin, the tan obtained will last longer.
- Natural Protection: A higher amount of melanin offers natural protection against UV rays, reducing the risk of sunburn.
Preparing for a beach vacation is not just about choosing the perfect swimsuit, but also about taking proper care of your skin. By incorporating these products into your skincare routine, you can enjoy the sun safely and achieve an even, long-lasting tan.
