As we know, sunlight is essential for all living beings on the planet. Most of the time, people sunbathe only for aesthetic reasons, as they enjoy a tan. However, the sun has other important benefits : it promotes the formation of vitamin D (enabling the absorption of calcium supplied by food, thus promoting the care of bones, nails, and hair), strengthens the immune system, aids sleep, contributes to the regulation of depression, lowers blood pressure, and balances cholesterol.
However, along with these benefits, excessive sun exposure without adequate protection becomes a major enemy for our skin, especially for people with light or very pale skin. The sun can cause accelerated skin aging, an increased risk of cancer, loss of skin elasticity, dark spots and shadows, and an increase in sun allergies.
Therefore, UNICSKIN recommends using sunscreen daily (whether it's summer or winter, regardless of the climate or geographical area). In Dermatology, it's recommended to apply a minimum of SPF 15 every morning. UNICA+ Day and Night Repair Cream incorporates this factor.
Additionally, depending on the time of year (summer months) and the geographical area (in places where the sun's rays are very intense), it is recommended to apply EXTRA protection.
UNICSKIN gives you its Solar TIPS
- The sun protection factor (SPF) on sunscreen is a number that indicates how long the product increases the skin's defense capacity against the sun. Therefore, the key isn't to apply a higher or lower factor; the key is to reapply sunscreen as often as necessary to avoid sunburn.
- The sun's rays are strongest between 10:00 am and 3:00 pm. Try to avoid exposure during these hours.
- For best results, UNICSKIN recommends applying your EXTRA sunscreen at least 30 minutes before sun exposure.
- Protecting yourself isn't just important at the beach. Some people simply use sun protection when they go to the beach, but it's important to apply a minimum amount of sunscreen when walking around town or having a drink at a terrace. UNICSKIN helps you incorporate protection into your daily routine.
- And after the sun? Immediately after sun exposure, it's very important to deeply hydrate your skin. During the months of increased exposure, UNICSKIN recommends its UNIC HYDRO-ACTIVE serum, which intensely hydrates and helps regenerate the skin thanks to its high concentration of medium-molecular-size hyaluronic acid (which promotes penetration). The formula also contains Aloe Vera Barbadensis, known to the Egyptians as the "Plant of Immortality," with a high absorption capacity and a high soothing power after sun exposure, Argireline, Orange Stem Cells, Marine Collagen, and Frankincense Extract (Boswellia Serrata), which purifies the skin and adds anti-irritant and anti-inflammatory action. Give your skin an extra boost of hydration.
