Protect your skin (and the oceans) against the sun

Sunny days are coming back as the holidays, and even if we all love a good sunbath, we have to keep in mind that Mr Sun is not always our friend. Here are some tips to take care of your skin during summer.

Anticipate

In order to avoid bad surprises as painful sunburns, we prepare our skin before the holidays with the Summer Glow by Aime Skincare. Rich in vitamins and probiotics, those dietary complements prepare your skin, prevent it from aging and helps for a better hydration. Plus your tan will last longer!

Protect

All skin type needs to be protected, doesn’t matter if you are sensitive or not. Farewell to the legend “if you use sunscreen you can’t tan”, because sunscreen gives you a better tan and one that last longer. Quick reminder: apply your sunscreen 30 minutes before being exposed to the sun. And renew application to stay safe.

The face

Our face skin is more vulnerable than the rest of our body so it’s better to use a specific sunscreen. Don’t forget that both neck and neckline are to include! The Clear Screen SPF 30 from Ren, made of 99% of organic ingredients will do the job and keep you safe from UVA/UVB. For our black skin sisters our advice is to use an oil to avoid the purple effect of rich sunscreen.

The body

For your body you have two options. Classic creams or oils. Of course we look into those that respects the seas and oceans that allow us to refresh in the summer. And for this nothing better than Seventy One Percent, made in France, created by two surfers who wanted to protect their skin but also our planet. The formulas are thought to preserve the corals, and to do so the UV filters are replaced by mineral filters. And of course you’ll never found paraben and other bad component in it!

For the oils lovers, the Dry Sun Oil is the one you need: a summer smell, a nice feeling once on the skin. Bonus: the buriti, jojoba and sunflower oils that are in it will give you a nice hydration and will also protect you hair!

On the cream side the Eco Sun Spray will take care of you. Very rich, 100% of its UVA/UVB filters are from minerals, and the oceans will be happy about it. Perfect for the skins that need a high protection. It will also protect your tattoos if you have some!
