The harmful effects of the sun are numerous. We can distinguish between immediate effects and long-term effects:
• Sunburn, called “solar erythema”, can quickly appear if you are not properly protected against UV rays. Lack of vigilance is often the cause of sunburn: afternoons on the terrace, cloudy weather in summer or even a cool wind make us forget the consequences of these exposures. If repeated or intense, sunburn can leave sequelae in the form of small pigmented spots called "solar lentigines";
• Mild summer lucitis is a very common consequence of the sun in young women . Lucite is qualified as a sun allergy because it most often manifests itself during the first exposures by an eruption of small pimples and red patches that cause itching. It can decrease or, on the contrary, worsen;
• Taking certain medications or applying cosmetic products can lead to phototoxic and photoallergic reactions : they are manifested by a “sunburn” type reaction. Do not hesitate to talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
The effects of the sun cause premature aging on all skin types . Following repeated UV exposure, the skin thins, wrinkles, and small spots appear .
Intensive UV exposure can cause excess oxidative stress and irreversible damage to skin cell genes. It is therefore necessary to protect against it to avoid future physiological disorders.
To take full advantage of the sun while being well protected, it is important to follow the prevention advice:
• It is best to go out in the sun before noon or after 4 p.m., to avoid when the sun's rays are strongest;
• Remember to wear a hat and sunglasses;
• Frequently apply sun creams, moreover this way can be completed by taking a food supplement.
Thus the oral route helps to prevent excess oxidative stress and free radicals, by creating an environment in the skin to fight free radicals in order to prevent them from causing damage. By combining with sunscreens and recommendations for use, an effective food supplement helps you maintain your skin capital to preserve your youth.
