Even if sun exposure is a true moment of pleasure, both short and long-term, it turns out, also a real threat to the health and youthfulness of your skin. Regenerating your skin after sun exposure can prove invaluable, and here are some tips on how to take care of your skin this summer.
Sunburn
Have you suffered a sunburn and your skin is red, sensitive and tender? Sunburn damages not only the DNA in your cells, but also the collagen and elastin in your skin. The sun's destructive effects accumulate and cause long-term physical changes, such as sagging tissues, the appearance of wrinkles and even skin cancer.
That is why it is so important to regenerate the skin, soothe it and also moisturize and protect it.
Step 1: SOOTING

Prevent visible signs of premature aging
Did you know that prolonged exposure to the sun destroys collagen fibers and depletes the skin's stores of vitamin C? These effects not only contribute to the appearance of wrinkles, sagging skin, but also pigmentation spots. Vitamin C is an antioxidant vitamin that protects the skin from the oxidative effects of the sun and is essential for proper collagen renewal. It preserves the youth and vitality of the skin and helps even out skin tone.
Regardless of your skin type, use a vitamin C-rich product every day, morning and evening, to restore your skin's vitamin C reserves. It will protect collagen fibers and strengthen the skin's defenses against the sun, but also facilitate collagen renewal. Vitamin C will also brighten your complexion if you are predisposed to hyperpigmentation. It's best to choose a product based on stabilized and liposomal vitamin C to prevent oxidation of its molecules and ensure maximum effectiveness of the therapy.
