Tanning

After prolonged sun exposure, sunburned skin initiates a regenerative process and often peels. However, desquamation is not inevitable. With the right measures, you can reduce the likelihood of peeling after a sunburn. Discover our recommendations below.

During a more or less prolonged exposure to the sun, the epidermis initiates a natural defense mechanism that results in a brown coloration due to the production of melanin. However, this protective barrier, which is nothing other than tanning, remains for a more or less extended period after the last sunbath.

Exposure to the sun requires precautions to avoid sunburn and to achieve an even tan. In addition to drying out the skin and accelerating its aging, UV rays can irritate it. Besides the application of sunscreen to protect against sunburn, it is recommended to tan gradually.

After sun exposure, hydration is crucial to maintain suppleness and elasticity, thereby delaying the onset of aging signs (sagging, wrinkles, fine lines) and the fading of the tan.

Sun protection is essential for slowing skin aging and preventing skin cancers. But does applying sunscreen mean forgoing a tan? That’s what we propose to explore.
