Tanning

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.

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.
