To prepare and better protect your skin from the sun, it's important to provide your skin with the elements it needs to stay well hydrated and strengthen its defenses against UV rays, heat and photoaging.
To better understand how to prepare your skin for the sun, it's essential to understand the effects of sun exposure on the skin. Several phenomena can be observed:
- drying out of the skin. Exposure to the sun accelerates the evaporation of water through the skin, drying out skin tissue.
- UV action. Exposure to the sun exposes the skin to UV rays, which damage the DNA of our cells. To protect itself, our skin produces melanin, the tanning pigment, to protect our cells' DNA.
- oxidizing action. The stress caused by exposure to the sun leads to the production of free radicals in the skin. This phenomenon, known as oxidative stress, damages the skin's hydrolipidic film.
- inflammation. Over-exposure to the sun can damage skin cells, leading to inflammation, redness and, more commonly, sunburn.
The Radiance pre-sun treatment helps strengthen the skin to protect it before exposure to the sun. Our Drinkable Food Supplements Radiance treatment, thanks to its rich composition and active ingredients, will have 4 actions on the skin:
- Moisturize
The Radiance nutricosmetics treatment strengthens the hydrolipidic barrier thanks to the wheat ceramides (gluten-free) contained in the evoleum micro-nutrient complex, Vitamin B8 which stimulates fatty acid production, and ascophyllum algae which provides essential fatty acids as well as minerals contributing toskin hydration. Together, they help limit skin dehydration on the surface. In addition, hyaluronic acid helps retain water in the deep dermis.
In 15 days, an average 24% increase in skin hydration.
- Protective action against UV rays
The copper present in Radiance is involved in the production of melanin, the protective pigment that protects cellular DNA. What's more, it helps prolong your skin's beautiful, tanned appearance.
- Antioxidant action
The vitamin C contained in the evoleum micro-nutrient complex is one of the most powerful antioxidants, which also has the capacity to protect other antioxidants naturally present in the skin, such as glutathione and super-oxide dismutase (SOD). Zinc and copper are two minerals involved in the functioning of the latter two (Glutathione & SOD). Ascophyllum Nodosum algae also provides antioxidant active ingredients that help protect the skin against oxidative stress.
- Anti-inflammatory action
The vitamins and minerals contained in Radiance have an anti-inflammatory action that helps limit and reduce inflammation. In addition,Ascophyllum Nodosum improves skin microcirculation, helping to eliminate waste products linked to inflammation.
With its moisturizing, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and UV-protective action, our Radiance cure will strengthen the skin's barrier for better protection. It is important to note that the use of a pre-solar cure does not dispense with the use of a sun cream.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a molecule naturally present in our bodies. Particularly in the skin, which stores 50% of the human body's total hyaluronic acid, joints and eyes. It plays a key role in maintainingskin hydration and elasticity thanks to its unique ability to retain up to 1,000 times its weight in water. With age, natural hyaluronic acid production declines, leading to dryness, wrinkles and loss of cutaneous volume.
