A beautifully tanned body is the dream of many people. Summer is particularly conducive to exposing the skin to the sun's rays. However, it is important to observe healthy moderation and, especially during the hottest days, use properly selected tanning cosmetics. See what they should be characterized by and what you can gain from them.
Sunlight always affects the skin
First of all, never ignore how the sun affects our skin - not only on the beach, during a hot day, when it is indeed very intense. The sun also affects us when it operates more gently, or when we spend time on a simple walk in the middle of the city or while hiking through the mountains. That's why good tanning cosmetics should accompany you whenever you're out in the sun.
Of course, the sun's rays have many positive effects. They color the body a beautiful brown, while they are also necessary for the synthesis of vitamin D. In addition, their effect on the psyche can be truly salutary - many people simply feel better and have more energy when the day is sunny.
This does not mean, however, that the sun's action provides only positive effects. Unfortunately, it can cause faster aging of the skin, as it adversely affects elastin and collagen, its two most important components. In addition, it also causes photoallergic reactions (especially after sun exposure to perfumes, other cosmetics or certain medications), burns, and increases the risk of skin cancer. Therefore, it is necessary to use sunscreen cosmetics that reduce the intensity of UV radiation and protect against its harmful effects.
Sunscreen is a cosmetic that should accompany everyone during holiday trips and winter travel. In this category you will find sunscreens for every skin type to suit your own.
Sunscreen cosmetics with filters
When choosing sunscreen cosmetics with good composition, we should first pay attention to what kind of filter is used in them. These can be, for example, chemical filters, which absorb UV radiation due to the structure of their molecules. They often have a different spectrum of action (UV-A and/or UV-B radiation), and have the advantage of being easy to apply the cosmetic to the skin. They also last on the skin for a long time, making it sufficient to apply them several times even during all-day sunbathing.
The second major type is mineral sunscreen cosmetics, which have colored pigments in their composition that reflect the sun's rays. They are very effective in broad protection (against UVA and UVB rays) and have a high level of safety for the skin. They do not penetrate it, so they are perfect for allergy sufferers or children. Unfortunately, they can leave a slight white tint on the body, and are short-lived and require frequent reapplication.
Natural cosmetics for sunbathing
Undoubtedly, natural tanning cosmetics, that is, those based on the use of plant-based ingredients, are the most popular nowadays. Among them, tanning oils, which use, among other things, almond oil to protect the skin from the sun, are certainly in the first place. They moisturize it and gently shield it from excessive UV radiation. At the same time, they do not work as intensively as cosmetics with mineral filters, making it possible to get a nice golden tan without irritation.
However, cosmeticsfor sunbathing are not only cosmetics for protection against excessive sun rays - they are, of course, also soothing preparations after sunbathing. Among them are cooling gels, such as Nutridome's soothing after-sun gel with aloe vera, which will soothe the skin after an intense sunbath.
In addition to those dedicated to the sun,tanning bed cosmetics are another group of preparations that protect and bring out the beauty of a bronzed body. They are designed for different complexion types and different intensity of tanning bed use, so especially in the initial period it is worth taking valuable advice from the staff. It is also an excellent idea to choose natural tanning bed oils, which not only deepen the color of the tan, but also protect and care for the skin.
Self-tanners
If tanning in the sun or in a tanning bed isn't your thing, or you just want to prolong the tan you get, it's a good idea to reach for a professional self-tanner. It's a cosmetic that gives your skin an even, perfect color, while not causing any of the side effects that sunbathers encounter. Self-tanner is your beloved bronze without irritation, faster skin aging or allergic reactions!
