• 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
