Tip 1: Hydrate your skin

Although moisturizer does not directly protect your skin from the effect of sun rays. Unlike sunscreen gel, it can, in a way, help you the limit its harm. The more your skin is exposed to the sun, the more it becomes dehydrated and tired up. 

The more it dries up, the more sensitive it is to UV rays. By nourishing it with a good moisturizer, you promote the reconstruction of its protective film and rehydrate it after sun exposure. To choose the formula that suits you, do not hesitate to consult your Brunet cosmetician.

Tip 2: Exfoliate your skin

Exfoliation is a major step before sun exposure. This helps get rid of dead skin that accumulates on the surface of the epidermis and can affect the uniformity of the tan. 

That said, you should be extra careful and remember to apply sunscreen gel, as exfoliation removes the “thin protective layer” on the surface of your skin, making it more vulnerable to UV rays. It is therefore recommended to wait a few days before exposing yourself to the sun. 

Also, as thinner skin will have more difficulty with exfoliation than thicker skin, it is better to choose a scrub according to your skin type.

Tip3: Eat a diet rich in carotene and vitamin E

Thanks to their antioxidant properties, vitamin c serum or foods rich in beta carotene and other carotenoids, such as lycopene, may improve your skin’s protection against UV rays. 

The best sources of carotenoids are sweet potatoes, carrots, spinach, pumpkins, broccoli, squash, apricots, mangoes, tomatoes, and melons. Vitamin E contained in vegetable oils, almonds, and walnuts are also said to be photoprotective. 

So don’t hesitate to add these sunny foods to your menu! Also note that foods rich in carotenoids impart an orange color to the skin, which gives you a natural tan. 

However, the properties of these foods do not exempt you from using a protective Sunscreen.

Tip 4: Gradually expose yourself

One of the best ways to prepare your skin for the sun is to increase your short sun exposure. You should avoid lying down for hours at the first rays of the sun, as you risk getting bad sunburns that cause certain skin cancers. 

Also, keep in mind that a tan is not good for the skin. It consists, in fact, of a reaction of defense of the skin against excessive exposure to the sun. Do not forget to cover yourself with sunscreen with a high level of protection.

7 Tip: Using sunscreen gel properly

• The first rule is to choose a product according to your, but also the conditions of exposure, i.e. the duration and the power of the solar radiation/ UV rays.
• Tanning does not exempt from protection, it provides at most the equivalent of an SPF 50 index.

• Sunscreen gel should be applied evenly before exposure to all exposed and exposed surfaces, including hands, ears, temples, and tops of the feet. It is recommended for an adult of average build to apply at least an amount of 36 grams of cream, or the equivalent of 6 teaspoons for the whole body.
• The sunscreen gel application must be renewed every 2 hours and after bathing, wiping, or sweating.
• Choose the right products for the face (possible depending on the type of skin: oily skin, combination, dry, normal) and favor sticks for the lips, nose, and eye contours in addition to suitable face cream and more fluid forms (milk, spray, foams, lotions, oils) can be used for the body.
• To protect a scar from the sun, choose a stick form with a very high protection factor, and renew the application every hour.
