SEXY GLAM
MAGA-
licious irregularities, should not
be used in the weeks preceding
a long sun exposition; the skin
should instead be hydrated
and protected.
The epidermis is indeed
the only protection to the
deep layers of the skin,
the thicker it is, and the
less dermal struc-
tures will be affected
by sunlight.
The protection of
the skin prior to
the sun exposure
is fundamental to
fragile skin
and
this will also insure that there is no
permanent damage to the skin.
What are the rules of sun exposure?
Prevent sunburn and reduce the
maximum doses received by the skin
to a minimum are the two rules for all
of those exposing their skin to sunlight
for look, sport or work.
To prevent sunburn, whether you al-
ready tanned or not, it is important that
the skin get used to new solar radia-
tion, different from those that originally
tanned the skin.
You have to wear clothes, use um-
brellas and sunscreens. Be careful of
any exposure, you must remove any
photo-sensitizers cosmetic products
(perfume, deodorant, etc.).
Under medical treatment, please
ask your pharmacist, certain
medications are photo-
sensitizing and can
cause sub-
stantial
damage under UV light.
Can people with type 1 skin use a tan-
ning bed?
The people of type 1 skin (very sensi-
tive) are very sensitive to the sun and
the dermatologists recommend to
avoid any kind of tanning.
However, to avoid completely the
sunlight would mean not benefiting its
most important positive effects (for ex-
ample photosynthesis of vitamin D3).
Would a sunscreen prevent me from
tanning?
Not at all! Although skin color change
less quickly when you wear a sun-
screen, the final result will most likely
look even better and be more dura-
ble, sunscreen will prevent your skin
to burn. Additionally, a gradual tan is
less dangerous, more consistent and
durable.
