The answer can be summed up in one word: No. It is strongly recommended that you opt fornatural rather than synthetic supplements, as they are better assimilated by the body. The right composition to look out for on the label:
Do sun care products protect against sunburn? If taken regularly, suncare supplements do indeed protect against sunburn, but only in part. They may be sufficient for walks in town, for example, but not for prolonged exposure to the sun. Lunch on a terrace, an afternoon in the pool, a weekend at the beach or in the mountains. Sunscreen and a hat are still essential. Sun supplements also help prevent the appearance of dark spots on the skin.
How long before exposure to the sun should I start my sun treatment? The earlier you start, the greater your protection against the sun's undesirable effects. It's best to start your cure at least 3 weeks before serious sun exposure.
Can I take dietary supplements to tan all year round? There are no contraindications to taking dietary supplements over the long term. As long as they're natural and you don't exceed the recommended dose. The vitamins E and C they contain are antioxidants, protecting cell membranes and the cells themselves.
When should tanning supplements be taken? Tanning supplements are taken in the morning at breakfast, the time of day when our metabolism is most inclined to fill up on vitamins and minerals. Better still, swallow them with a glass of squeezed lemon to help the body rid itself of toxins (a task already undertaken during the night).
The fine weather is back. Soon we'll be enjoying the sun to the full, with just one desire: a natural, even tan.
Here's a selection of sun care products for you : capsules, ampoules, scrubs etc... A wide choice of products to prepare your skin for the sun's aggressions.
Why prepare your skin for the sun?
Exposure to the sun, while beneficial for vitamin D production, carries significant risks for skin health if left unchecked. Ultraviolet (UV) rays cause oxidative damage, sunburn, hyperpigmentation and cumulative effects such as premature aging or an increased risk of skin cancers.
Sun care products offer a proactive approach to reinforcing the skin's natural protection mechanisms:
Suncare products contain active ingredients that increase the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for tanning and natural UV protection. This stimulation results in a faster, more even and longer-lasting tan, while reducing the risk of redness.
Exposure to the sun generates free radicals that damage skin cells. Antioxidants in sun care products, such as vitamin C, vitamin E, lycopene and carotenoids, protect cell membranes and limit oxidative effects.
Certain active ingredients, such as essential fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6) and ceramides, restore and maintain the skin's lipid barrier, improving its ability to retain water and protect against aggression.
Sun care products help modulate the inflammatory response, limiting redness and irritation caused by excessive or repeated UV exposure.
