Step 1 - Cleanup
Let's start with a gentle exfoliation. It is important to remove impurities and dead and callous epidermis. For this purpose, which guarantees not only effective action, but also an intense, fresh, fruity scent. Various variants are available so that everyone can find their favorite combination. After peeling, the skin is softer, breathes better and is ready to absorb the necessary nutrients.
Step 2 - Nutrition
Adverse external conditions damage the skin's lipid barrier. In summer, our skin is exposed to UV rays, which weaken the skin's firmness and tension, and thus accelerate the aging process. Therefore, special care should be taken to provide adequate nutrients such as vitamins A, C and E, which are natural antioxidants. We find them in body care products. Designed to meet the different needs of the skin, this line offers nourishing and moisturizing body lotions, hand creams, and bath and shower lotions to support the regeneration process.
Step 3 - Hydration
Adequate hydration and hydration are essential, because even the best nourished epidermis starts to peel off, it loses its color and elasticity, and the process of sebum secretion is disturbed. Therefore, regular skin moisturizing should be a priority for us not only in summer, but throughout the year. The balm provides 24-hour hydration and protects sensitive skin from harmful external factors.
How to additionally protect the skin in summer?
The fashion for a tan has been going on for several generations, it has been accepted that an even tan looks attractive. That is why most people like to lie on the beach and sunbathe. Being on the beach is a stereotype of a successful holiday, so it's no wonder that holidays by the sea or the ocean are still very popular. You should sunbathe consciously and in moderation, and above all, take care of effective sun protection. Cosmetics with appropriate filters should be used not only while sunbathing, but also during walks and everyday activities outside. Let's not forget that we are exposed to the sun not only during tanning. Overexposure to the sun can cause photo allergic reactions, discoloration of the skin and burns, which of course should be avoided.
UVA radiation has the same intensity regardless of the weather or the season. It is a long-wave radiation, so it penetrates deeply even into the subcutaneous tissue. UVA rays may appear safe because they do not cause burns. They are responsible for the formation of an immediate tan, which lasts only for a few hours immediately after tanning. Under its influence, however, cell DNA damage and the formation of free radicals can occur, which promotes the development of neoplasms.
UVB radiation is responsible for the production of vitamin D3. It accounts for only 4-5% of the UV radiation that reaches the Earth. It is a short wave that reaches the top layer of the epidermis and is absorbed mostly by the stratum cornea. A small amount, however, can penetrate deeper into the dermis. In the case of UVB rays, the tan is formed a little later 48-72 hours after sunbathing and is more durable, so it stays with us for longer. UVB rays cause burns, and also contribute to the formation of discoloration and redness. Like UVA, they can cause permanent damage at the cellular level.
That is why it is so important to protect yourself from the harmful effects of sunlight and use creams with UVA and UVB filters. It is worth reaching for the Sun series, i.e. a vegan, amber line of cosmetics ensuring safe sunbathing for the whole family, as well as the necessary care after sunbathing. Four-level new-generation protection based on photo stable UVA and UVB filters and VL-IR Protect System, limiting the adverse effects of infrared and blue radiation on the skin. Additionally, amber essence stimulates repair mechanisms in the skin, conditions it and restores its vitality. The waterproof and sand-resistant formula guarantees optimal protection also during bathing and prevents excessive sand sticking to the body.
Herbal Care Sun is an equally effective line of sun care and after-sun cosmetics for the whole family. The waterproof and sand-resistant formula provides sun protection and a sense of comfort. In addition to UVA and UVB filters, cosmetics include aloe juice, which moisturizes and gives a feeling of soothing, refreshing thermal water that helps soothe skin irritations and vitamin D activator that regenerates and protects against external factors.
The tanning process and prolonged exposure to the outside cause the epidermis to deteriorate faster. Therefore, regular exfoliation of dead cells is very important, especially in the summer. It is therefore worth introducing nourishing peels into your skin care routine. If we spend some time on them once or twice a week, our skin will repay you with a healthy and fresh appearance. Of course, it should be remembered that the face skin is more sensitive and requires more delicate treatments and cosmetics tailored to the appropriate type of skin.
In summer, it is also necessary to properly moisturize and hydrate not only from the outside, but also from the inside. No cosmetic will have such a beneficial effect on our skin as water. On hot days, the body can lose up to 3 liters of fluid, so you need to replenish them on a regular basis to prevent dehydration and excessive drying of the skin.
How to take care of your hair?
Sun and wind are also a threat to our hair, which, without proper care, quickly loses its shine, becomes dry and dull. UV radiation causes the hair cuticles to tilt, which results in permanent damage. Light hair is the most susceptible to damage, although dark hair also requires special care and protection in summer.
When buying tanning preparations, it is worth getting a mist with amber extract and UVA + UVB filters. Its ultra-light formula protects the hair cuticles against the harmful effects of sunlight, without the effect of weighting down.
On hot days, the scalp sweats faster and our hair requires more frequent washing. In order not to disturb the natural protective barrier, it is good to use delicate shampoos and conditioners that do not contain SLS, SLES and ingredients with a similar effect. Shampoo with amber extract and minerals may be a perfect solution.
There are also a number of simple steps that will help us take care of our hair on hot days and during holidays, and do not require much effort. First of all, avoid drying with a dryer or directly in the sun. Damp hair is more easily susceptible to the unfavorable influence of external factors. An effective method of protection against the sun is also wearing a hat or other head covering, as well as tying the hair in a bun or braid, which makes it less susceptible to UV rays and wind.
