Why do the spots appear in summer, and on the face even if there is not a ray of sunlight on it
Tanning
seems to be imperative in Spain,
synonymous with vacations
and relaxation, without a doubt.
And this despite the fact that dermatologists and other experts in the field warn
of its risks
and that going out in the sun can have terrible consequences for health.
According to
Reme Navarro,
pharmacist and Director of Business Strategy at
Atida
(Mifarma by Atida is an online holistic health platform), "tanning has been part
of the beauty canon
in our country for years: however, it is essential to be aware of that we have to protect our skin always, with an SPF + 50 and throughout the year, to achieve
a healthy tan ".
If you have been 'lucky' to pick up some little
color on vacation,
keeping it is a witness of what it was, the last
stronghold of the summer season,
the footprint that still reminds us, when we return to our daily routine, yes, that there was a time when the computer and the meetings did not occupy all the day to day.
Navarro defends this prolonging the bronze as long as possible like this: "Seeing ourselves well inside and out is also essential to be
able to feel good."
And that is why it reveals everything we can do, with
simple but effective routines and cosmetics,
to extend this memory of summer until well into September.
Exfoliation, essential
Far from what can be believed, a good exfoliation does not end with the tan, on the contrary, eliminating dead cells maintains
good cell regeneration
and is essential to maintain a uniform tone and free of stains -which may have proliferated at ease during the summer.
"Exfoliating the skin
every two weeks
helps to remove dead cells that are deposited in the corneal or superficial layer, in addition to softening the skin,
providing luminosity
and preparing the skin for sun exposure", encourages Reme Navarro.
Moisturize to prevent peeling and dryness
Dry skin is a big culprit that the tan does not look the way we would like it to.
When
dehydration lurks,
the body and face appear scaly and whitish, when not 'peeled' directly, which
'lowers' the feeling of the bronze tone.
Getting
a good moisturizer
and drinking more than
two liters of water in hot weather
-with exercise and 'hustle and bustle' you lose much more water- are two good tips from the pharmacist to enhance and maintain a good little color.
"If we are not resplendent on the inside,
we will not be so on the outside either,"
Navarro points out.
Why use aftersun, the guarantor of long-lasting tan
There
are those who say that
aftersun
is little more than a moisturizer, but Navarro defends its use after sun, not only to repair the skin but to 'eternalize' the tan.
No matter the texture - gel, cream, 'mousse' type ... - the important thing is what it hides inside.
"An aftersun must have
antioxidant ingredients, such
as
vitamins A, C, D or E,
to repair the lesions that may occur on the skin, as well as
soothing and anti-dehydrating
components such
as calendula or argan oil", specifies the expert.
Vitamin C is a cosmetic asset that helps maintain and prolong the tan while treating spots, wrinkles ...
Vitamin C, like a ray of sunshine ... and more
Also known as
ascorbic acid,
as a cosmetic active,
"vitamin C
intervenes in the synthesis of collagen and elastin, so it prevents and treats fine and superficial wrinkles", says the dermatologist
Andrea Combalia
in her book
'Healthy skin in healthy body '(Grijalbo).
But vitamin C 'lives' not only from being an anti-wrinkle. "It also has
a depigmenting effect: it
inhibits tyrosinase, an enzyme necessary for the synthesis of melanin, unifying the tone and restoring luminosity to the skin," adds Combalia.
This compound, therefore, is the ideal companion to maintain
a radiant tan
while treating other problems.
"Through vitamin C the creation of collagen is enhanced, which
provides firmness,
helps prevent damage from solar radiation and enhances
the tan and its duration",
points out the pharmacist.
Vitamin C ingested through food,
as well as A and beta-carotene,
are also good allies to prolong a uniform tone, since they not only stimulate melanin, but also exert a protective function.
Foods like
carrots, oranges, strawberries, tomatoes or watermelons ...

Self-tan, that something remains
To great evils, great remedies, and if you want to keep your tan as much as possible, you will always have the self-tanner.
This product that 'stains' the skin without being damaged by UV rays, "arrived in 1960 to stay and, today, it is a great option to prolong the tan that we bring from the beach,
without there being a generation of melanin ",
defends Navarro.
Because self-tanners 'work' according to the principle of
DHA (dihydroxyacetone),
"which reacts with the proteins of the outermost layer of the skin and gives rise
to melanoidins,
which give a color similar to a tan," explains the exp
