We can’t wait for the first spring sun…. Nice on the terrace! As a beautician, you always have to deal with customers around this time who ask “is the sun good for my skin or not?” Conclusion: if you use the sun in a dosed and responsible way, your skin certainly needs it, but put plainly, don’t ‘bake’. Then you often hear: don’t we need sun for the production of vitamin D? Certainly, but a few hours of sunlight from daylight is often sufficient for this, according to dermatologists. You know who sometimes has too little vitamin D? Veiled Muslim women because their whole body is covered.
Prepare your skin for the sun
If you want to get the most out of the sun, you can start with a pre-sun treatment in the spring to activate the production of melanin and in the summer itself you can use extra protection to optimize the tanning process. By activating melanin, you can achieve maximum tan even in someone who is very white by nature and always burns in the sun.
Optimal sun protection
Always protect yourself in the sun. Don’t go blind on a high SPF factor. In fact, it is better to lubricate consistently with a lower SPF than once a day with a higher SPF. Even better is to do a skin measurement, or in other words, a sun measurement. Nowadays there are devices that accurately measure your amount of pigment and then attach a UV index to it, which is the indicator of the strength of the radiation that your skin type can handle. If you know that, it is no longer difficult to find the right sun products and to tan optimally. Actually, you can never just buy a sun product, because it does not only depend on your skin / sun type what you need, but also where you go on holiday, in what period, and what the situation is. Are you high in the mountains or on the beach? First do some homework, then the sun. Enjoy!
