PREPARING YOUR SKIN FOR THE SUN
A source of psychological well-being and Vitamin D, the sun is essential to stay healthy. However, solar radiation is also one of the greatest daily aggressions for the skin. This is why, preparing your skin well for the sun before summer is essential to protect yourself against the free radicals induced by UV radiation while obtaining a nice tanned complexion. Discover the right things to do to strengthen your skin and take full advantage of the benefits of the sun.
1. Moisturize your skin well
After winter, the skin is often fragile and lacks hydration. Not having been confronted with the sun's UV rays for several months, the skin is particularly vulnerable. For your skin to effectively exercise its role as a protective barrier against the sun's rays - thanks to the hydrolipidic film that covers it - it must be intensely hydrated. Thus, to maintain - or rebuild - the hydrolipidic film present on the surface of the skin, choose treatments adapted to your epidermis that you apply morning and evening to your face and your body.
Go for natural creams and serums, without chemicals. Remember, everything you put on your skin gets into your body! It is also advisable to exfoliate your skin with a gentle scrub once or twice a week to stimulate cell renewal and eliminate toxins. For hydrated and supple skin that resists UV exposure, remember to drink at least 1.5L of water a day. Your skin will be firmer and more elastic and your tan healthier and longer lasting.
2. Choose the right sunscreen
Before exposing yourself to the sun, in town or on the beach, use good sunscreen that protects you from the harmful effects of the sun caused by its ultraviolet rays.
From the first rays, remember to apply a sunscreen with a sufficient protection factor and adapted to your skin type (SPF 30 or even 50). All skins must be protected, light skins as well as dark skins . The higher the index of your sun protection, the greater the protection provided by the cream.
But don't forget your face! Indeed, the skin of the face is very sensitive and requires daily sunscreen. To protect yourself, replace your usual day cream with a cream with an SPF 30 - or even 50 - for an action that is both moisturizing and protective.
Do not forget ! After sport and after each swim, a new dose of sunscreen should be applied.
Note that the application of sunscreen - although regular - is not always enough to protect your skin from the sun. Adopting other preventive measures such as wearing appropriate clothing, a hat and a pair of glasses is just as essential
3. Adopt a diet rich in beta-carotene and vitamin C
Health professionals agree that the quality of the contents of the plate strongly influences the quality of the skin.
To best prepare your skin for the sun , choose a diet rich in vitamin C and beta-carotene.

To fill up with vitamin C , eat foods such as: lemon, parsley, Brussels sprouts, kiwi, grapefruit, strawberry, orange or pineapple.
Beta-carotene, also called Provitamin A, accelerates tanning by stimulating the synthesis of melanin, responsible for skin pigmentation. This pigment naturally present in certain fruits and vegetables is known for its beneficial effect on the complexion. Beta-carotene will also repair skin cells damaged or oxidized by the sun. In addition to protecting your skin, foods rich in beta-carotene are your allies for looking good! Prefer colorful fruits and vegetables such as: raw carrots, melon, spinach, sweet potato, broccoli, mango, dried apricots, tomatoes...
