After prolonged sun exposure, sunburnt skin attempts to regenerate and typically peels. However, desquamation is not inevitable. With proper measures, it is possible to reduce the likelihood of peeling after a sunburn. Discover our recommendations below.

During a more or less prolonged exposure to the sun, the epidermis initiates a natural defence mechanism that results in a brown colouration due to the production of melanin. However, this protective barrier, which is none other than tanning, remains for a more or less extended period after the last sunbath.

Depending on your skin type and the intensity of the sun, it takes on average 15 minutes in the sun, without protection, to develop sunburn and, consequently, damage skin cells. After a few hours, sunburnt skin becomes painful, hot and red depending on skin tones, before starting to peel and itch a few days later. But what can be done to avoid them? Here are some effective measures to take when you are outdoors to reduce the risk of sunburn.

Exposure to the sun requires precautions to avoid sunburn and to achieve an even tan. In addition to drying out the skin and accelerating its ageing, UV rays can irritate it. Besides the application of a sunscreen to protect against sunburn, it is recommended to tan gradually.

After exposure to the sun, hydration is crucial to maintain suppleness and elasticity, thereby delaying the onset of ageing signs (sagging, wrinkles, fine lines) and the fading of the tan.

Protecting yourself from the sun is essential for slowing skin ageing and preventing skin cancers. But does applying sunscreen necessarily mean giving up a tan? That's what we invite you to find out.

As the warmer days approach, we often feel the urge to bask in the sun and flaunt a lovely tanned complexion. However, preparing your skin prior to sun exposure is essential in order to protect it and optimise tanning. Here are the four steps to follow.

When summer is over or we return from holiday, we wish to maintain our sun-kissed complexion for as long as possible, as a reminder of the good times spent in the sun. However, we see it fade, week after week. To slow down this process and prolong our tan, it is possible to adopt simple habits.

Although a tanned skin is often considered an aesthetic criterion, sun exposure is not without risk. Sunburn, allergies, photoaging, skin cancers... this can have more or less severe consequences on the body. So, how can we tan safely?

Tanning results in a sun-kissed complexion but only lasts for a short while. How long does the skin typically stay tanned after sun exposure? Is there a way to prolong the tan? Find here explanations about the tanning process, its effects on the skin, and its duration.

With the arrival of fine weather, the time spent outdoors and exposure to the sun increases. However, this can cause several problems, ranging from a simple sunburn to skin cancer. That's why it's important to adopt the right habits. Find here our advice for making the most of the sun without risking harm to your skin.

Tanning is a defence mechanism of melanocytes and keratinocytes to protect themselves from the harmful effects of UV rays. But do these rays penetrate through the windows of cars, offices, or even homes? Find some answers in this article.
