Suitable sun protection in extreme conditions

There are thousands of reasons why we all love summer and the sun. These are the days when we breathe in the warmth and breathe out energy. Good mood takes over even the pessimists, and life moves cheerfully and boldly along the road to the beach.

Summer vacation is also the time when we devote ourselves to sports – simply for pleasure, not to maintain our ideal shape. On the sand, in the sea, in the mountains, in the forest or even on a suburban picnic meadow, sport is health and happiness. It is communication – with family, loved ones, friends, colleagues or teammates.

Summer is also the time when courage overcomes everyday routine and we gladly try something new, unfamiliar and even a little scary. It is exciting to swim in deep waters, jump from cliffs, surf, canoe or kayak, or let the sails catch the wind. And how about a few games of beach volleyball? Two halves of football are never enough... Even a game of cards on the beach should be approached prepared. No, not with a cold beer, but with secure and reliable sun protection. Good beach cosmetics are necessary even for those who greet the sunrise while running on wet sand or practicing yoga on the seashore at dawn.

Protection from harmful sun rays is important for staying in good condition during mountain sports as well – cycling, rock climbing or even simply hiking from one mountain hut to another. The sun does not hold back and can burn strongly and unnoticed in the mountains, even through the clouds. If you are planning to climb a peak or have a forest picnic, sun-care cosmetics should be at the top of your list of essentials.

During summer it is extremely important to keep the skin protected and toned, protecting it from redness, photoaging and pigmentation spots. With the right care, you will spare yourself the pain and unpleasant feeling of sunburn, which can sometimes be the reason you stay at home for days (and who wants that during their vacation!).

How can you keep your skin healthy and beautiful when it is exposed to strong sun rays, salty waves, frequent sweating, sudden changes from hot to cold and... double doses of laughter and fun?

It is extremely important to know that even when wet, the skin is not hydrated! On the contrary – it loses its water content. Sweating is linked to regulating body temperature, and this leads to additional water loss from the superficial epidermal layer.

Excessive sun exposure can damage the skin’s protective properties. Dehydrated, it becomes thinner, begins to age faster and peel.

To fully enjoy sport and your vacation by the sea or in the mountains, you need double reliable protection – on the one hand, a shield against harmful sun rays, and on the other – restoration of the hydrobalance, factor No. 1 for fresh and youthful skin.

True to health and beauty, we combined the best technologies in cosmetics and created sunscreen products that meet the highest standards for photoprotection. Good water-resistant sun protection is usually characterized by an oily phase that repels water and is suitable for people who spend more time in the water. One of the favorite products of all sea adventurers is the biphasic lotion HYALURON PROTECT, which simultaneously protects the skin from aggressive rays and from drying out, while moisturizing deeply. Enriched with hyaluronic acid and collagen, which intensely nourish the skin and restore its elasticity while fighting premature aging of the epidermis. The lotion is suitable for application on dry and wet skin, which makes it a favorite among sunscreen products for extreme conditions. Simply shake well to mix the phases and spray generously over the whole body.

Now you are protected and can enjoy your favorite water sports.

What else is good to know for a beautiful and long-lasting chocolate tan:

Before sun exposure, it is good to exfoliate your skin. This way, melanin will begin to form at the beginning of the skin cell life cycle. This helps ensure around two weeks of a beautiful tan, since after approximately that amount of time the cells in the upper layer of the epidermis will be replaced;
It is necessary to use effective biphasic sun protection for express hydration and tanning. When the skin burns, it begins to regenerate and peel, and the tan disappears with it;
We recommend showering with lukewarm water, as hot water stimulates regeneration of the epidermis;
It is good to keep the body well hydrated by drinking at least two liters of water per day;
The foods in your diet also affect your tan – consume more carrots, tomatoes, meat, fish, beans, avocado, dates, bananas, peanuts, egg yolks, cheese and cottage cheese. They stimulate melanin synthesis in the skin;
And finally – it is good to be careful with hair removal. Waxing could also remove part of the upper layer of the epidermis.
