Safe sunbathing in the summer. See what products to use
Summer is the time when we want to enjoy the sun and a golden tan, but more and more people are aware of the dangers of overexposing the skin to UV radiation. Fortunately, there are products on the market that allow you to achieve your desired skin color without the risk of sunburn or long-term skin damage.
This season, the St. Tropez brand has introduced its latest hit – the Violet Ultra Dark Self-Tanning Foam, which is winning the hearts of lovers of a beautiful, natural tan.
Why is it important to avoid the sun?
UV radiation is a major contributor to skin aging, wrinkles, discoloration, and most importantly, increases the risk of skin cancer. Experts recommend avoiding excessive sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when the radiation is at its strongest. That is why more and more people are opting for self-tanners, which provide a safe way to achieve a healthy-looking tan.
St. Tropez – a brand you can trust
St. Tropez is a brand that has enjoyed great trust among consumers around the world for years. It is known for its high-quality body products that guarantee an even, natural-looking tan without unsightly streaks and spots. The latest proposition from St. Tropez – Ultra Dark Self-Tanning Foam Violet, is a product that will surely satisfy even the most demanding users.
Violet Ultra Dark Self-Tanning Foam – What is Worth Knowing?
Violet Self-Tanning Foam is an innovative product designed for those who want to achieve a deep, intense tan with an olive shade, without the risk of an orange effect. This professional foam with a dark shade and melanin enhancers has been specially designed to maximally emphasize the tan. The unique purple base balances the color of your skin, providing a natural tan in just 8 hours.
Let us also listen to the voice of an expert, cosmetologist Agata Goliszewska:
“The sun is the basis of life and its beneficial effects on people and the environment are known and widely appreciated. Unfortunately, however, excessive UV radiation is the cause of cumulative skin photoaging processes. One of the most characteristic signs are changes in the structure of fibrillar proteins – collagen and elastin. The clinical picture is dominated by deep wrinkles and furrows, dryness, excessive keratinization of the epidermis, discoloration, dilated blood vessels and loss of skin elasticity.”
The body’s basic defense mechanism against UV radiation is the production of a pigment called melanin, thanks to which we get a tan. However, are there any methods for getting a safe tan? This is where self-tanners come to the rescue, thanks to which we can improve the color of our skin. Two compounds are used as coloring ingredients: dihydroxyacetone and erythrulose. The mechanism of their action is related to chemical reactions that occur between them and the amino acids of the stratum corneum of our epidermis.
Manufacturers often add other dyes, such as juglone or lawson. Thanks to them, we can slightly change the resulting shade. However, how quickly the desired color appears and what its intensity will be depends on, among other things, the pH and the degree of hydration of the epidermis, or more precisely, its stratum corneum.
Self-tanners are produced in various forms – we can buy mousses, foams, balms, milks, mists and oils. Self-tanners in the form of drops, which we add to cream or serum, have also appeared on the market. Self-tanners from the British brand St. Tropez help to achieve a natural effect of tanned skin. They smell beautiful and are very efficient. In addition, when applying them to the body, we can use a special glove, which will help to achieve a flawless tan without streaks or unsightly spots. In order to provide comprehensive skin care in addition to the tan, manufacturers add moisturizing and nourishing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, vitamins or various types of plant extracts. Modern self-tanners do not stain clothes and the tan effect can be achieved after just one hour and we can usually enjoy it for 6-8 days. Thanks to improved formulas, the characteristic, unpleasant smell of the products has been eliminated. So we can quickly achieve a long-lasting, golden tan without streaks. The products are easy to use, spread well, dry quickly and are not sticky. Many of them do not require rinsing. And most importantly, they are safe for the skin, providing a beautiful and natural effect. The skin looks like after a holiday sunbath, without the risk of sunburn and signs of photoaging.
