Solar food supplements

The sun is not only essential for the life of any organism and for the regulation of your biological rhythms.

This natural source of light also plays an essential role in your mental and physical health. The benefits of the sun are multiple and have a real impact on your body. The appearance of the sun's rays during the day is often synonymous with a good mood, accompanied by a desire to feel this gentle warmth on your skin and to tan. This tanned and sought-after tan is none other than a natural defense reaction of the body to protect itself from the sun's ultraviolet rays.

A healthy body allows this means of defense to take place correctly and ensure a beautiful golden tan. In addition, adopting a suitable sunscreen and effective sunscreen food supplements will allow you to give your skin a lasting tan, without the risk of damaging it.

However, unprotected and uncontrolled exposure to the sun can have harmful effects. Beyond painful sunburns, the increased occurrence of skin cancers (melanomas), allergies and even premature aging of the skin are risks to take into account before exposing yourself to the sun without protection.

What are the benefits of the sun?

Among the many benefits of the sun, we mainly find its action on the synthesis of vitamin D. This “sun vitamin” is synthesized in the skin thanks to UV-B solar radiation. Indeed, the light produced by the sun presents three types of ultraviolet radiation: UV-A, UV-B and UV-C, each having different effects on the body. Exposure of 15 to 30 minutes each day helps create active forms of vitamin D, essential for strengthening the immune system, the growth of children, the prevention of osteoporosis and the preservation of bone stock in adults. . It is preferable to favor sunny periods in the morning and at the end of the day to avoid damaging your skin.

Good exposure to the sun also helps regulate biological rhythms and the internal clock. The body, and in particular sleep, are synchronized thanks to light. Thus, sunlight transmits signals to the brain, to encourage it to produce specific hormones which will permanently regulate the body. In addition, a link between mental health and sunshine has been highlighted, to show that the level of sunshine can largely influence our mood. By stimulating well-being hormones, the sun gives us good mood, energy and dynamism. Sun exposure also stimulates cognitive abilities, increases physical activity and helps reduce seasonal fatigue.

One of the beneficial effects of the sun particularly sought after by both women and men is of course tanning! It is characterized by a defense reaction of skin cells: melanocytes which produce melanin, giving the skin a darker color under the effect of UV rays. Depending on the skin type, the reaction to the rays will be different and will result in a more or less rapid or slow response, or even no reaction.

What solar index for tanning?

Sun protection indices correspond to safety levels present in sun protection products (e.g. sun cream) to avoid suffering from unpleasant sunburns. They are generally known as “SPF” for Sunburn Protection Factor, equivalent in English to Sun Protection Factor (SPF). There are four of them and constitute a measuring tool against UV-B rays, considered to be the most dangerous in the event of solar exposure.

So, what is an SPF used for? It allows you to know the amount of sun and UV rays that you can receive without a sunburn appearing after applying sun protection. This means, for example, that an SPF 20 sunscreen will delay the appearance of a sunburn by 20 times. There are 4 classes of SPF: low (6 to 10), medium (15 to 25), high (30 to 50), very high (50 and +). The higher the protection index, the more protection in the sun will be important. Sunscreens with an SPF below 30 are recommended for black or dark skin. So the lighter your skin is, the more you will need to choose a high SPF sunscreen to effectively protect your body and face from sunburn and premature aging. The choice of cream, oil, mist or sun spray depends on your skin type.

If you tend to tan easily, a factor 30 sunscreen will allow you to be protected while tanning. Be careful to apply it at least every 2 hours in a thick layer! For fair and very fair skin, therefore much more sensitive to the sun, it is advisable to use sun protection products with a high SPF such as SPF 50. This will obviously not prevent you from tanning! Tanning and sun protection are absolutely compatible to preserve your skin while sporting a pretty golden complexion.

How much exposure to the sun to tan?

Unfortunately, a nice tan cannot appear in one day because the skin needs to get used to the sun's rays. Tanning evenly and sustainably requires perseverance and the right products! In fact, a quality tan is obtained with a daily exposure time which is measured in minutes and not hours! In addition, the time of exposure to the sun for the skin to tan also depends on your skin type.

The ideal duration of sun exposure is between 10 and 15 minutes per day (20 minutes for dark skin), with a maximum exposure time of 4 hours per week. It is also essential to choose the right times to expose yourself to the sun. Avoid sun exposure between 12 p.m. and 4 p.m., as the UV rays will be too powerful and dangerous for the skin. Be careful of sunburn! It only takes 30 minutes to see it appear on your body.

Don't forget to always use sunscreen generously with a sufficient sun index from the first exposure to the sun of the day, and reapply it over the hours! Newborns and young children should not be exposed to the sun for any length of time. In addition, pregnant women and their very sensitive skin must be intensely protected with a total screen before enjoying the sunny days! Pregnancy notably carries risks of hyperpigmentation and dehydration during exposure to the sun.
