Not even the quarantine has managed to stop the tan addicted! Whether on balconies, terraces, gardens or for the more reckless sunny windows on the living room, tanning seems to be the unmissable appointment of every self-respecting spring.

How is the sun good for our body? The sun’s rays stimulate the production of vitamin D, which is essential for our bones. Furthermore, the sun seems to stimulate the production of endorphins and serotonin, the so-called happiness hormones; deep down let’s think about whoever happened to feel sad kissed by the heat of the sun? Not to mention how beautiful we look when we are tanned! BUT, yes there is a but, the sun is also the main enemy of the health of our skin. How? Exposure to the sun involves the absorption by our body of UV rays, if we do not protect the skin from them, the latter could be damaged by its cells, also leading to serious consequences. Why does it happen? Because the DNA of the skin cells is damaged, the collagen and elastin present in our skin are damaged by promoting, and is the least serious hypothesis, the appearance of wrinkles, sagging and spots. Don’t get us wrong, get out of the shaded area that you created and let yourself be kissed by the sun but with the necessary precautions! Using dedicated skincare products and following some basic steps will allow you to have an envy tan, even at home! Start with a body scrub, to free your skin from dead cells, arm yourself with sunscreen FOR THE ENTIRE BODY (including lips) and last but not least: ALWAYS apply an after-sun!
