What does the sun do to us and our skin?

Sunlight consists of various types of rays, including visible light and invisible UV light. Although high-energy UV light penetrates only as far as the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of the epidermis) and the uppermost layers of the dermis, it causes a wide range of damage there. The release of highly reactive free radicals leads to damage to skin cells. UVB rays are responsible for superficial sunburn and immediate DNA damage. UVA rays penetrate deeper into the skin and primarily affect the structure of our collagen framework, thereby contributing in particular to premature skin aging. Normal skin metabolism is disrupted, and the risk of chronic diseases and skin cancer increases. Therefore, it is absolutely essential to have adequate UVB AND UVA protection.

Our skin in summer - what's going on?

The summer months present special challenges for our skin.
It is exposed to more environmental irritants and can therefore lose its balance more easily.

Sun:
UV radiation and heat can weaken the skin’s natural protective barrier. The skin loses moisture and consequently becomes drier, more sensitive, and more susceptible to harmful environmental influences.
Sweating:
Our bodies cool themselves in the summer by sweating. The moisture on the skin makes it easier for bacteria, fungi, and other pathogens to colonize the skin.
Water:
Frequent showering and contact with chlorinated water, lake water, or saltwater further dry out the skin.

How to stay in the sun properly

To Protect itself from the sun, the skin Protect more melanin, the pigment that gives our skin its color. However, this protection is only very limited; to prevent sun damage, sun screen with SPF sufficient SPF is SPF essential. The SPF indicates how much longer you can stay in the sun without getting sunburned. So if you use sunscreen with SPF , that means you can stay in the sun 50 times as long after applying it as you would without sun screen. 
That’s why you should reapply sunscreen every few hours, or after swimming. But even with sunscreen on, you shouldn’t stay in the sun for hours on end.

Cleanse and Moisturize the skin properly

At the end of a summer day, be sure to Cleanse your skin. The mixture of sand, sweat, and sunscreen clogs your pores and causes breakouts. Saltwater and chlorinated water also dry out your skin. The Cleansing Gel gently but thoroughly removes dirt, and with the panthenol shower gel , you shower gel gently shower gel your skin without drying it out further.  

Healthy diet

We can also strengthen our body from the inside. In the hot season, we lose more fluids and minerals due to increased sweating. To avoid dry skin , it is particularly important to maintain our fluid balance in summer. Plenty of water and unsweetened teas should therefore be high on the agenda. If you also have a varied mix of fresh fruit and vegetables, nuts and wholegrain products on your plate, you will not only strengthen your connective tissue but also your immune system and nerves. Vitamins, trace elements and minerals contribute to a healthy complexion.

Light clothing

When temperatures rise, you should look for moisture-regulating, air-permeable and breathable fabrics. Clothes that are too tight or synthetic fibers, such as polyester, cause dry and flaky skin. Cotton and viscose, on the other hand, are soft and comfortable on the skin and Protect you from harmful UV rays at the same time.
