The summer days are setting in and the sun is indeed present. However, redness and itching may appear on your neckline or on your arms at the first rays of the sun. It may be mild summer eruption, one of the most common sun allergies.
Once triggered, summer lucite is a phenomenon that can follow you for several days. To prevent it from spoiling your holidays , you have to know how to identify it in order to prevent it and therefore relieve its effects.
Summer lucite is mainly linked to UVA rays, the inflammation at the origin causes localized redness with small pimples accompanied by an itching sensation. Lucites are triggered from 25 to 35 years old and mainly in light phototypes.
The first allergy is usually mild, but the phenomenon is likely to worsen if it is not taken in hand.
The best way to prevent lucite is to properly prepare your skin for the sun.
Sun protection is mandatory, ideally an SPF 50.
If we want to expose ourselves, we do it gradually . We start with 10 minutes, then we increase little by little; Did you know ? UVA rays pass through windshields and windows, so don't think you're safe in your car or at your office.
You can also opt for foods rich in antioxidants and carotene (carrots, apricots, tomatoes, etc.);
Opt for a complementarity with a sunscreen our GliSODin formulas.
An open clinical trial (1) on the efficacy of GliSODin was performed in 120 women and 30 men with sun-reacting skin. In addition to regular sunscreen, everyone was taking 2 capsules of GliSODin General Condition a day:
• 88% judged that their quality of life had improved;
• 73% declared that their skin was better prepared for the sun and attested to an absence of sun allergy (benign summer lucite).
Stop all exposure to the sun . We rinse with shower gel without soap. To soothe the skin, you can spray a little cellular water or a soothing mist. Ideally, we always provide a survival kit with cortisone cream and antihistamines (issued on medical prescription). If you don't have that on hand, apply at least a soothing and moisturizing after-sun care.
Be aware that summer lucite develops more easily when exposure to the sun is too brutal.
People in whom lucite becomes painful, invasive and even physically and psychologically disabling should go to a dermatologist.
