How To Keep Your Skin Protected From The Sun During Summer

The sunny season is almost here! It means the time has come to prepare the skin for sun protection. But how can you avoid burns and prevent sun damage such as hyper-pigmentation? Visiting a spa salon for facial services where an esthetician evaluates your skin and provides customized treatments for the best outcomes is wise! You can also use Biologique Recherche skincare products, such as serum, that help strengthen the skin barrier, keeping your skin soft and supple. Let’s explore how you protect your skin from the Sun during summer.

Boost melanin production

The Sun emits various rays, including UVA and UVB rays. While most rays, such as UVC rays, get filtered out by the Earth’s ozone layer, these two types of rays reach the skin tissues. The epidermis absorbs UVB rays, but UVA rays penetrate deeper into the dermis. While moderate sun exposure is beneficial—it synthesizes vitamin D, excessive exposure results in skin damage. The human body naturally produces melanin for sun protection, which often changes the skin color, resulting in tanning after prolonged sun exposure. Since the skin contains melanin in fewer amounts before sun exposure, it cannot defend itself against the Sun’s UVA and UVB rays. Using Biologique Recherche’s top products that stimulate natural tanning and boost melanin synthesis for protection against ultraviolet rays is an incredible way to prevent sun damage.

Prevent hyperpigmentation

The skin loses its capacity to repair after prolonged sun exposure, resulting in pigmented spots. These spots are typically linked to the accumulation of melanin and lipofuscin. As mentioned already, the body naturally produces melanin to defend against ultraviolet rays, causing the skin color to change. Lipofuscin, on the other hand, is a brown or yellowish pigment created by the oxidization of lipids and proteins. Proteasome, an enzyme found in skin cells, naturally recycles oxidized proteins and combats lipofuscin; however, its activity slows down over time, causing pigmented spots to appear on the skin. Using Biologique Recherche skincare products can stimulate proteasome activity, preventing the appearance of pigmented spots.

Reverse photoaging

Prolonged sun exposure results in the thickening of the skin and the production of free radicals, also known as oxidative stress. It may also cause redness, sunburn, and allergies. All these skin-related conditions happen because of increased sensitivity to light. Premature skin aging or photoaging is one of the long-term consequences of ultraviolet exposure. It increases sun-induced dehydration and results in the early appearance of wrinkles. Although there is no way to reverse photoaging, protecting the skin from further damage is possible. Besides applying sunscreen before stepping out of the home, using Biologique Recherche’s serum colostrum, an intensive lipid-restoring treatment, is wise. The serum helps strengthen the skin barrier and reduce dryness by maintaining deep hydration.

Sun exposure is beneficial for us; it improves mood and boosts vitamin D levels. However, prolonged exposure can damage the skin. It’s best to use Biologique Recherche’s top products and visit a spa salon for facial treatment from estheticians who offer customized facial treatments after skin evaluation for optimum results.
