How to protect yourself from the sun: tan yes but with caution
In times past, a face as pale and white as milk was synonymous with beauty and purity, but nowadays fashion has dictated different rules: sunbathing and the pleasures of the beach have become an integral part of our summer and aesthetic culture. Tanning, as we know, has a number of pros and cons; while on the one hand, the sun ages the skin, making it withered due to dehydration, on the other hand, it gives the body a glowing appearance. Moreover, moderate exposure to the sun also has positive effects on our organism, such as the production of vitamin Dwhich promotes bone development and calcification by encouraging the absorption of dietary calcium.
The general rule to follow is the middle way, i.e. yes to tanning but with a few tricks. For example, take care not to prolong exposure too much and apply filter creams all over the body to prevent the harmful effects of UV rays and at the same time tan the skin.
How to protect yourself from the sun: which sunscreen products to choose?
There are numerous products of this kind on the market, and they can be divided into chemical and natural. Chemicals, found in most tanning products, block ultraviolet rays through sunscreens, while most natural ones, such as the essential oils, although they do not contain sunscreens, they offer the active ingredients and natural virtues in which they are rich. Natural products are recommended for those who already have strong skin or a dark phototypebecause they help the body maintain a beautiful, long-lasting complexion. For sensitive skin of a light phototype are needed products with sun filters so as to avoid sunburn. If, on the other hand, one suffers from any skin problems, protection should be done with total sunscreen products, which will keep the skin safe from harmful rays and annoying redness.
