Tan, not burn. Cosmetologist's advice

When applying the cream, we pay special attention to the hands and décolleté area - these are the most susceptible places to the sun's rays, since they are exposed to the open sun the longest.

Summer, sunny weather is usually associated with a beautiful tan. A period of exposure to solar radiation in small doses is necessary for the proper functioning of the body, but prolonged exposure to the sun without proper protection can cause negative consequences.

How to take care of your skin before tanning?

Tanning is a protective reaction of the skin to harmful radiation. When a person is in the sun, the body produces a pigment - melanin, which gives it more dark color. The color of a tan—brown or bronze—depends on genetics.

Many dermatologists believe that it is safer and better for the skin to minimize exposure to direct sun rays. Too frequent and intense sunbathing not only increases the risk of developing cancer, but also significantly accelerates aging.

The greatest benefit of sunbathing is the synthesis of vitamin D, but in order to provide the body with its daily dose, just a few minutes in the sun is enough. But what to do if you get carried away with sunbathing and get sunburned?

Regardless of where a person got a sunburn - on the beach or in a summer cottage, the first thing to do is take a shower. You should start with warm water and gradually lower the temperature. It is better to repeat the whole process two or three times. Showering not only helps to cool your hot skin, but also washes away any remaining filter cream, sand or sweat. Thus cleansed skin accepts special gels and creams much better.

How to choose a sunscreen with an SFP filter?

To get a beautiful, and most importantly healthy tan, you need correct protection from the sun in the form of creams with sun filter - SPF. The value is selected depending on the phototype, which is assessed taking into account the skin's reaction to exposure to UV radiation after the first 30 minutes of exposure.

Phototype 1- This is a very sensitive skin that is susceptible to sunburn and never tans - products with SPF values of 35-50 are suitable for her, used during the first days, and then 20-30 SPF.

Phototype 2- you can sunbathe, but with difficulty - here the most suitable products will be with a value of 20-30 SPF, and then 15-20 SPF.

Phototype 3- the skin easily accepts sunbathing and is not susceptible to burns - you should choose creams with a filter of 12-20 SPF, and after a few days 10-12 SPF

Phototype 4- the skin tans very easily, without any negative consequences - in this case, you can use preparations with filters SPF 8-12, and after a few days up to 4 SPF.

After prolonged exposure to solar radiation, the skin is overheated and dehydrated; the condition may be accompanied by a feeling of itching, burning or tightness. Dried skin not only looks unsightly, but loses its protective functions and is susceptible to various types of allergies, inflammation and microbial penetration.

To avoid unpleasant consequences, as well as to prolong the tan, it is necessary to provide appropriate care. After a shower, it is recommended to apply cosmetics to the body that moisturize and soften the skin, these can be: panthenol, argan oil, vegetable collagen(it helps reduce damage to the epidermis). Cosmetics of this type are available in various options, in the form of lotions, creams or masks, for convenience you can choose cosmetic product in the form of a body spray.

Do not forget also about moisturizing the skin from the inside, because proper hydration occurs in the deep layers of the epidermis. You should drink about 1.5–2 liters of water every day, and more when relaxing on the beach.

How to extend the tanning effect?

To keep your tan on for a long time, both before and after going to the beach (if there was no skin burn), it is worth doing a full body peeling, which will remove dead, keratinized epidermis and improve its texture. Thanks to this, the tan will last longer and will become more even and fresh.

It is also useful a few days before sunbathing to begin treatment with beta-carotene contained in vegetables and fruits (for example, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, spinach, broccoli, melon or apricots), as well as in ready-made dietary supplements and extracts of medicinal herbs that have a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin (for example, horsetail extract or green tea). Under the influence of these products, cells produce a dark pigment, which is responsible for the appearance of a brown tint to the skin. This course naturally deepens and activates the tan color and preserves it well.

Vitamins are also valuable, most notably vitamin C, which promotes collagen production, and vitamin E, which provides increased protection against harmful oxidative stress.

How to care for tanned skin?

Left without protection and hydration, tanned skin becomes rough, begins to flake and disappears faster. dark shade. To avoid this, it needs to be moistened. It is better to take products enriched with emollients, such as Allantoin or D-panthenol. The content of vitamins A, E and C in them will relieve the harmful effects of free radicals. For therapy to be effective, the product must be applied several times a day.

Skipping any skin care routine can backfire. Severe burning will definitely require the use of drugs that not only moisturize the skin, but also soothe irritations. If blisters begin to appear, a visit to a dermatologist is necessary.

The skin recovers better and faster at night.

However, in order for the drug to be well absorbed, it is necessary to wash off the previous layer of cream. If the skin is not too red or irritated, you should use a scrub. It will help remove old epidermis, allowing the gel to be better absorbed, and therefore moisturize and regenerate the skin.

Remember protection!

Even if “first aid” after sunbathing brought the expected results, the skin still requires protection. When going out, not only to the beach, but also for a walk on a sunny day, do not forget to apply sunscreen cream. This procedure must be repeated every few hours. Tanned skin is very vulnerable and much more susceptible to direct sunlight, so if you plan to spend time on the beach, you should expose it to the sun in doses.

53 220 0 Hello! In this article we will tell you about sun tanning. Gone are the days when pale White skin was considered a sign of aristocratic origin. Nowadays, successful and happy ladies stand out with a beautiful, even tan.

Tanning: is it useful?

“It’s harmful to sunbathe in the sun!”, “The sun ages the skin!”, “You can get cancer by lying on the beach!”, “Sunburn only causes burns!”- We have all heard such sayings at least once. But are they as fair as is commonly believed?

Indeed, the scorching sun can cause great harm to the skin and body. If you sunbathe in moderation and follow certain rules, then sunbathing becomes a useful and enjoyable activity.

Proper tanning helps in the fight against skin diseases. So, sunbathing with psoriasis is not only possible, but even necessary. The sun's rays have a beneficial effect on the condition of the patient's skin, reducing itching and discomfort. In combination with treatment, tanning also helps get rid of diseases such as fungus, eczema, acne, etc.

In addition, tanning becomes a prevention of rickets, since during sunbathing vitamin D is actively formed in the body, which helps strengthen bone tissue and muscles.

Ultraviolet light also stimulates metabolic processes in the body. Helps improve blood circulation and endocrine activity.

Melanin - what is it?

Why do people get different tans under the same conditions? Why doesn't my skin tan in the sun? Why can’t I tan in the sun before? It's all about melanin. It is responsible for our eye, hair and skin color. In addition, melanin plays a protective function, protecting the skin from sun damage. Accordingly, the more melanin, the darker the skin and the richer the tan. In the body, special cells - melanocytes - are responsible for the production of melanin.

The tanning process occurs as follows:

You find yourself in the sun.
Ultraviolet rays begin the process of destroying DNA in the body.
The body begins to produce melanin to prevent further damage.

Sunbathing and solarium increase the amount of melanin. This may explain why people who are already tanned are less susceptible to burns and the harmful effects of the sun. For the same reason, it is recommended to tan gradually.

There are people whose skin practically does not tan in the sun, and any attempts to acquire a beautiful tan end in burns and disorders. In such people, melanin is produced in small quantities or not at all.

Owners of such sensitive skin It is not recommended to sunbathe or stay in the sun for a long time. It is worth noting that the number of melanocytes in everyone is approximately the same, but the amount of melanin released is different, and not everyone has enough of it to acquire a tan.

How to tan quickly/8 rules for a perfect tan

Surely, there is not a single woman who would not dream of having an attractive, even tan, which is why we decided to touch upon the topic of how to get a beautiful tan at sea and what is required for this.

Have you noticed redness after sunbathing and don’t know what products are best to use?

It is worth noting that the tan will largely depend on the girl’s skin color.

Type 1 – light skin

It is quite difficult for girls with this skin type to tan. The fact is that even a short stay in the sun leads to a person starting to burn. However, there is a way out of this situation - you need to use sunscreens, and then you can get a beautiful and charming tan. It is advisable to buy cream for sensitive skin, but avoid buying special tanning oils.

Type 2 – medium color, closer to light

This skin is known for tanning quite easily and quickly. In some cases, the skin does not even turn red, but immediately becomes dark. Such girls are recommended to use moisturizing creams, and also to be in the sun for no more than 2 hours a day, since the skin quickly acquires a dark brown tint and can quickly burn.

Type 3 – dark skin

On the one hand, such girls are very lucky - they almost never get sunburned. On the other hand, they are also not recommended to spend long periods of time in direct sunlight. Should be used quality means so that your tan always turns out even.

In order to find out how to get a beautiful tan at sea, you can read special forums where girls share their impressions of certain tanning products. At the same time, do not forget about the above rules and take into account the color of your own skin.

This question is asked by many girls who want to get a charming tan at sea during their vacation. Is it possible? If yes, then how?

Of course, nothing is impossible. Moreover, sometimes 2-3 days are enough for tanning. Then another question arises: how to get a beautiful tan at sea in a week?

First of all, you should remember the favorable and unfavorable hours for tanning.

For example, from 6 to 10 am solar activity is the least and it is safe to be on the beach. From 10 o'clock in the morning the sun begins to get hotter, but it is still relatively safe to be on the beach. From 12 to 16 it is strictly forbidden to sunbathe, because you can get burns, but not beautiful skin. From 16 to 17 there is average solar activity, and after 17 it is safe to be on the beach again. Keeping these hours in mind, you can easily get a flawless tan in a week without risking anything.

You should apply products (cream, gel) throughout the week to avoid getting burned.

For such areas of the body as lips, nose, eyelids, special sticks are made that are easily applied to hard-to-reach areas and help to get an even tan.

It is better to go to the beach for a short time, but every day, than to go there once for the whole day.

The first option will allow you to gain attractive skin in just 6-7 days, after which you can calmly show off to your friends, and your loved one will not be able to take his eyes off such a beautiful and sweet person.

Proper nutrition for tanning

For an ideal and even tan, it is recommended to eat foods rich in vitamin D, which is found in cottage cheese, eggs and milk. In addition, you should add more fresh vegetables to your diet, for example, carrots, tomatoes; fruits (apricots, apples) are good.

Personal experience and tanning products

The long-awaited summer has arrived - it’s time for vacations, adventures and... of course, bronze tan. Relaxing on the seashore, lake or just in the country, not a single representative of the fairer sex can deny herself the pleasure of decorating her body with a beautiful tanned. But we all know that the sun is fraught with many dangers. How to protect yourself? Read on.

Beautiful tan. How to protect yourself?

First, let's weigh the pros and cons of sunbathing.

First the bad:

1. Excessive sun exposure can cause skin cancer. Whatever you say, the statistics speak for themselves. According to statistics, every year more than 65,000 cases of melanoma (a malignant tumor associated with UV radiation) are recorded in people all over the world.

2. The sun can also cause blindness. Prolonged exposure to the sun often causes the development of cataracts.

3. Sun allergy in Lately is becoming increasingly “popular” among people prone to allergic diseases.

4. Excessive sun exposure can also cause thyroid disease.

Now about the good stuff:

Staying in the sun promotes the production of vital vitamin D. After all, our body can synthesize only 10% of the required norm on its own without exposure solar energy. And the lack of this vitamin entails a number of chronic diseases (cancer, diseases of the nervous system, including schizophrenia and multiple sclerosis, diabetes, high blood pressure, polycystic ovary syndrome, menstrual problems, infertility, infections and tooth decay).

After weighing all the pros and cons, we can conclude that everything is good in moderation. Sunbathing is necessary, but you should not abuse it.

Here are some tips for getting a beautiful tan without harming your health:

1. Always use sunscreen. There is a fairly common misconception that the cream blocks the penetration of sunlight, and therefore does not allow the skin to tan. This is wrong. The cream does not transmit only part of the sun's radiation, while ultraviolet radiation penetrates in sufficient quantities for tanning.

If you prefer to use only natural organic cosmetics, then you'll love this homemade tanning lotion recipe.

DIY tanning lotion

2 tbsp. coconut oil,
2 tbsp. sesame or olive oil,
½ cup lanolin
5 drops of your favorite essential oil

Mix all ingredients. Apply before going out into the open sun. This lotion should be stored in an airtight container for no more than 7 days.

2. Give preference to water-repellent sunscreen. This will allow you to enjoy your vacation, and not think about the condition of your skin and how not to get sunburned.

3. Avoid midday sun. Recently, the impact of solar radiation has become increasingly active. And if earlier it was recommended to refrain from sunbathing from 12 to 15 hours, now it is not recommended to sunbathe from 10 to 16 hours. Of course, all this is individual and largely depends on where you are vacationing and on your skin type, but it is better not to risk it.

4.Start tanning gradually. Ideally, the duration of the first sunbath should be no more than 15 minutes, and each subsequent day increases by 5 minutes. But in the conditions of modern short-term vacations, this condition is practically incompatible with the acquisition of a chocolate tan. Therefore, I can only call for limiting the time of the first sunbath, because, you know, if you overdo it on the first day, all the “beauty” will still turn red and peel off (((

5. Always wear a hat when sunbathing. This is not only protection against sunstroke, but, above all, protection for your hair, which becomes very dry and damaged in the sun.

6. Use it sunglasses or cover your eyes when tanning. This will save you from vision problems.

7. Always dry your skin before tanning. Water on the body acts like a lens and can cause sunburn.

8. Drink as much as possible non-cold non-carbonated clean water while tanning.

9. If you are a fan of top-less sunbathing, be sure to cover your nipples with special caps or just cotton swabs.

How to prepare as much as possible for sunbathing.

In order to achieve the maximum effect from tanning, several important conditions must be met.

You should cleanse the skin of dead cells as thoroughly as possible.
Try to sunbathe somewhere in local latitudes before going on vacation, then your skin will absorb the tan better and faster, without getting burned.
Try to moisturize your skin as much as possible before going on vacation, then the tan will go on better and last longer.

And a few more tips for those whose skin does not tan

1. To begin with, you need to be especially careful.

2. Remember, light healthy skin looks much more attractive than the red one, all covered in burns and blisters. Think about it, is it worth it?

3. There are a lot of tanning creams that not only protect the skin, but also tint it. Maybe this is your chance?

Here is the prescription tanning lotion with a toning effect.

¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup baby oil
½ teaspoon iodine

Mix all ingredients except iodine. Add iodine last.

That's all!
