Long-term tanning excessively dries the skin. The water deficit disturbs the cellular metabolism of the skin, because the enzymes have too little water to be able to work. It initiates degenerative aging of cells and as a result, they become smaller and fewer. Therefore, after every long sunbath, the most important thing is the quick hydration of the skin and its light greasing regenerating the natural lipid protective coat of the skin protecting the water from evaporation.

 
GroomingSKINS AFTER THE SUN

A positive effect of sunbathing is the improvement of well-being, stimulation of the release of many hormones (melatonin), synthesis of vitamins from the group D. In total, moderate tanning promotes the proper functioning of our body. It prevents depression, strengthens osteogenic processes, tempers the skin to adverse UV-B radiation. However, there are also undesirable complications of photon abstraction.

and skin lesions. Stop long solar baths!

After sunbathing ...

After a long sunbath, the skin is flushed, overheated, dehydrated and full of free radicals that can damage its delicate collagen-protein structure. The regulatory mechanisms of cells are partially compromised.


Particularly exposed to burns, dehydration and the "stroke" of toxic oxygen free radicals is delicate skin with a light complexion.


Therefore, after a hot day of sunbathing, do not forget about regeneration treatments.
Long-term tanning threatens thermal drying of the skin.

The soluble enzymes involved in cell metabolism are particularly sensitive to the lack of water. In the absence of water, they stop working, inhibiting this metabolism. Overcrowding of intracellular fluids and deleterious deposition of some cellular metabolites occurs. In skin collagen fibers, degenerative changes can occur for this reason. As a consequence, long-term tanning may cause accelerated aging of the skin, which cells become smaller and fewer. That is why skin care after the sun is very important firstly - moisturizing with water and light greasing.


First - hydration and light greasing

For this purpose, we use numerous regenerating and moisturizing cosmetics; lotion after sunbathing, etc. Moisturizing cosmetics contain substances that regenerate and normalize cellular processes. If you want to revitalize and hydrate the skin after sunbathing, you should especially use these medicinal and caring preparations that regenerate the natural protective coat of your skin.


Model nawiaracz - hyaluronic acid

This basic ingredient of moisturizing cosmetics is a natural physiological substance. Therefore, it is not sensitizing and can be safely used without the need to perform skin tests. This substance has identical chemical structure in all living organisms, hence it is easy to obtain it. It is a chemical compound that strongly binds water in the epidermis. One molecule of hyaluronic acid is able to attach 250 molecules of water to each other!


Skin regenerating and moisturizing substances - emollients

Emollients - these are all kinds of preparations used for gentle oiling, regeneration and moisturization of sensitive skin. They are used for skin care and regeneration in many situations - including after tanning and supporting its treatment. These include ointments, creams, emulsions, lotions, etc.They do not contain such medicinal substances as antibiotics and corticosteroids and are available without a prescription. Such substances include preparations with D-panthenol, with natural moisturizing factors (hyaluronic acid, etc.), with vitamins (especially vitamin E) and micronutrients, amino acids, lipids (omega-3 fatty acids, triglycerides), with elastin, collagen , etc. The cosmetics containing vitamins A, B2, E, PP, micronutrients (silicon, zinc, copper, selenium) are beneficial. a set of amino acids, lanolin, etc. The list of these preparations is very extensive - many of them are used for the care of sensitive skin of children and infants. You can list a very large group of proparats available in Poland: Aqualan L, Ambilan, Ceralan, Balneum Baby, Balneum Hermal, Diprobase, Emolium, Exomega, Linol, Lipobase, Lipolan, Locoid, Lipocrem, Mustela Stelatopia, Nanobaza, Oilatum, Optiderm, Provegol, Topialyse, Trixer, Xerial, Xerialine, Xerialine Fluide.


 

CAUTIONS FOR LIGHTWEIGHT NURSES? SKIN

Remember to care for tanned skin after the summer season

After the season, we lose the beauty and color of the beautifully tanned skin - mainly due to its drying and the resulting rapid peeling of the epidermis with dark pigment. Therefore, to stop this process, after returning from summer holidays, apply cosmetics intensively moisturizing the skin for at least two to three weeks. To the face: cosmetics (creams) rich in moisturizing substances (eg hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, D-panthenol). Massage into the body: creams and lotions that are strongly moisturizing or deeply moisturizing, as well as nourishing and regenerating, including those containing beta carotene. Balsams with natural color extracts - e.g. walnut - are also preferred.

"Photostaging" of the skin

In the long-term exposure to UV radiation causes faster aging of the skin. All of these changes are referred to as "photoaging" of the skin caused by light, although UV-A radiation is the most responsible for this process. UV-A rays reach even the subcutaneous layer and can damage its cells causing the so-called premature aging of the skin. Due to the long-lasting effect of these UV-A rays, gradual degeneration of the elastic fibers occurs. It reduces the skin's elasticity. The skin becomes thinner and drier. Acceleration of the epidermis is also accelerated - the skin becomes visibly rough.


Symptoms of skin aging under the influence of the sun - wrinkles, furrows

The earliest and most common symptoms are wrinkles. Wrinkles are caused by abnormal changes in the structure of collagen and the associated laxity of the supporting connective tissue. This phenomenon causes, among other things, the appearance of furrows in the corners of the mouth where yeasts can settle, causing frequent in the elderly yeast-like inflammation of the mouth corners. Another undesirable effect of UV radiation is the phenomenon of teleangiectasia consisting in the expansion and cracking of small blood vessels.


Harmfulness of ultraviolet radiation for health - cancer risk

UV radiation causes an excess of free radicals in the body. Free radicals are chemically aggressive particles, which, in excessive amounts, damage the skin's structure and accelerate its aging. They indirectly damage collagen fibers and attack the genetic code of cells - DNA. UV-B rays cause the phenomenon of immunosuppression, or weakening of the immune system. It applies not only to the skin, but the whole organism. The inclinations to this condition are genetically determined. The symptom of this is even the appearance of herpes lesions in the summer. However, the biggest threat to health from ultraviolet is the development of skin cancer called melanoma. It is initiated by the degeneration of the genetic code of pigment cells called melanocytes under the influence of UV-A and UV-B rays.
