Skin concerns
Protect your skin from the sun
While the sun makes you look good, it can also damage your skin. Too much exposure to sunlight accelerates skin ageing, encouraging wrinkles and marks to appear, and causing skin sagging. It is therefore necessary to do the right things as soon as you are exposed to UV radiation: wear suncare products suitable for your skin type and appropriate clothing, make sure to keep hydrated...
For best results
Use sun protection products
Depending on your skin type, your skin may be more or less sensitive to sunlight. But even the darkest skin types need protection: UV rays can damage all skin types. As soon as the sun comes out, you should think about protecting your skin with suitable suncare products: one for the face and one for the body. And when you are out in the sun, you should reapply sun cream every two hours.
Avoid exposure during the heat of the day
In the summer, the sun's rays are particularly intense between noon and 4pm. During this time, it is best to stay cool and have a nap in the shade of a tree.
Wear a hat
To avoid having your skin weakened, wear a hat whenever you spend several hours in the sun, even with sun protection on: this is the best natural suncare step you can take to effectively protect your skin and keep it looking young and beautiful. For your body, choose long-sleeved clothes that are loose-fitting to allow air to flow.
Don't trust clouds
We tend to think our skin is safe if there are clouds in the sky. But this is not true: you can get sunburnt even on a grey day because UV rays penetrate the clouds. Remember to apply sun cream outdoors, even when the sun has gone in.
What kind of care should be taken to protect the skin from the sun?
The anti-ageing sun routine
Keep your skin looking young and beautiful
It is essential to take care of your skin on a daily basis and to protect it to keep it looking beautiful.

Then protect your face with natural suncare or a suncare product designed for your skin type and the sun conditions.

Any questions?
Is the sun dangerous for the body?
The sun has positive effects on the body: it allows it to synthesise vitamin D, which is essential for bone development. It also improves your mood and prevents seasonal depression. But overexposure or poor sun protection can have harmful consequences. They accelerate the appearance of deep wrinkles and pigment spots, cause severe skin dryness and reduce the elasticity of the skin. It is therefore necessary to take natural suncare steps - such as wearing protective clothing and accessories - or use appropriate sun protection products. Avoid exposure to the sun during peak sunlight hours, from noon to 4pm in the summer.
What is an SPF?
"The Sun Protection Factor is the ratio of the minimum erythemal dose on skin protected by a sunscreen product to the minimum erythemal dose on the same unprotected skin."*
SPF is the abbreviation of "Sun Protection Factor". The SPF measurement is based on the erythematous response of the skin due to UVB, i.e. how long it takes for protected skin versus unprotected skin to burn. The calculation of the SPF indicates theoretically how long you can stay in the sun without burning, depending on the protection you have applied. The higher the index, the more the skin is protected.
*according to the European Commission recommendation of
Do I need to reapply my SPF during the day?
Yes, every two hours.
Do I have to use SPF all year round?
Yes, because UV rays pass through the clouds.
Does fake tan protect you from the sun?
No. Fake tan triggers an oxidation reaction in the upper cells of the epidermis which turns your skin "golden". It does not affect melanin and therefore natural skin tanning (which is the skin's defence mechanism to protect it from the sun).
