The impact of the sun on the skin - beyond the tan, after sun skin care
During the months of greatest sun exposure, the skin suffers damage that extends far beyond the surface layer. UV radiation, intense heat, and external factors such as salt, chlorine, and wind trigger profound changes in its structure. After sun skin care must be added to your skincare routine.
The most common consequences include:
Intense dehydration: significant loss of water and vital nutrients such as essential fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6), antioxidant vitamins (C and E), minerals (zinc, selenium, magnesium), amino acids and hyaluronic acid.
Tightening and burning sensation:
Redness and irritation: reflection of oxidative stress and micro-injuries.
Rough texture and accelerated aging: caused by the degradation of collagen and elastin fibers.
After the sun, true care
To restore homeostatic balance - an organism's ability to maintain a stable internal environment despite fluctuations in the external environment - and the functional integrity of the skin after sun exposure, it is essential to meet its specific physiological needs. This includes:
Replenishment of water and essential micronutrients, such as antioxidant vitamins (C and E), minerals (zinc, selenium, magnesium) and essential fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6), allowing the restoration of hydration, elasticity and skin turgor (elasticity and firmness);
Calming and modulating action of the inflammatory response, to minimize erythema and feelings of discomfort;
Stimulation of cell renewal and synthesis of extracellular matrix components, promoting tissue repair and strengthening the skin barrier;
Antioxidant protection, crucial for neutralizing reactive oxygen species and mitigating the cumulative effects of photoaging.
In short, after sun exposure, the skin needs deep hydration, calming action, regeneration and antioxidant protection to restore its health and prevent premature aging.
The right choice of science and nature
The effectiveness of after-sun care is directly related to the quality and synergy of its biofunctional active ingredients, which simultaneously act on tissue repair, inflammatory modulation, and skin barrier restoration. These active ingredients have specific biological properties that not only treat the visible symptoms of sun-damaged skin but also interact with cellular mechanisms, promoting deep regeneration, lasting relief, and protection against the oxidative effects of UV radiation. When strategically combined, these components act on multiple fronts, offering the skin a complete and effective recovery.Entre os ingredientes de maior relevância destacam-se:
Aloe Vera: rich in polysaccharides, amino acids, and phytonutrients (which act as antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, and protectors). Aloe vera has moisturizing, soothing, healing, and immunomodulatory effects (the ability to regulate or balance the immune system's response), providing immediate relief and promoting re-epithelialization. In other words, it promotes the process by which the skin forms a new layer of epithelial cells to cover and repair an injured area, such as a cut, burn, or irritation.
Vitamins (B5, B7, E): act as antioxidants and cell repairers, contributing to the neutralization of free radicals, stimulating collagen synthesis and accelerating the skin regeneration process.
Algae Extracts and Hyaluronic Acid: for water retention and cell regeneration.
Bisabolol and Glycerin: softening and protecting sensitive skin. Bisabolol has anti-inflammatory, calming, and anti-irritant properties. Glycerin is a powerful hygroscopic humectant that maintains water balance and strengthens the skin's barrier function, preventing flaking and dryness.
Complete recovery: the solution you deserve
After a day in the sun, at the beach, or at the pool, what your skin needs most is a hug. Care that not only treats the symptoms, but also understands what it's been through. Because skin speaks through redness, heat, and dryness, and deserves to be listened to attentively.
