Take care of your skin and prepare it in this way before sun exposure

Caring for and preparing your skin before sun exposure is crucial to ensuring adequate protection and maintaining the long-term health and beauty of your skin. Sun exposure without proper preparation can lead to a range of problems, from sunburn and premature skin ageing to an increased risk of developing skin cancer. It is therefore essential to take preventive measures to protect our skin from damage caused by UV rays. Preparing the skin involves a combination of moisturising, exfoliating and applying sunscreen. Adequate moisturising helps keep the skin supple and resistant to dehydration, whilst exfoliation removes dead skin cells and allows for better absorption of sun protection products. Applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an appropriate sun protection factor (SPF) is essential to protect the skin from harmful UVB and UVA rays.

Tips for preparing your skin before sun exposure

Preparing your skin properly before sun exposure is essential to protect it and keep it healthy. Here are some useful tips:

Internal and external hydration: Drink enough water to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out. Also, use moisturisers suitable for your skin type to keep it soft and supple.

Gentle exfoliation: Exfoliate your skin regularly to remove dead skin cells and allow for better absorption of sun protection products. Opt for gentle exfoliants that do not irritate the skin.

Applying sunscreen: Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF suitable for your skin type. Apply it generously to all exposed areas of the skin at least 15–30 minutes before sun exposure, and reapply every two hours or after swimming or sweating.

Additional protection: as well as sunscreen, consider wearing wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses and clothing that covers most of your skin for extra protection against UV rays.

Avoid sun exposure during peak hours: try to avoid direct sun exposure during the hottest part of the day, usually between 10 am and 4 pm. Seek shade whenever possible.

Take care of your lips: don’t forget to protect your lips by applying a lip balm with sun protection to prevent sunburn and dryness.

GOLD COLLAGEN® DEFENCE: your ally in protecting your skin before sun exposure

There are dietary supplements that help prepare the skin before sun exposure, and in this case we’re talking about GOLD COLLAGEN® DEFENCE, designed to help prepare the skin for sun exposure and protect it from damage caused by UV rays. This product contains a combination of ingredients such as collagen, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that work together to strengthen the skin from within and improve its ability to resist the harmful effects of the sun.

Collagen is a protein essential for the skin’s structure and elasticity, helping to keep it firm and supple. Vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc and copper, are antioxidants that can help protect the skin from oxidative stress caused by UV rays. This can reduce the risk of sunburn, premature skin ageing and other sun-induced damage.

Now is the best time to take GOLD COLLAGEN® DEFENCE, as it contains all the antioxidants you need to prepare your skin for sun exposure. What’s more, it boosts your body’s defences, is completely vegan and is packed with the highest quality ingredients to help you:

• Protect against collagen loss
• Support the immune system
• Support the maintenance of healthy skin, hair and nails
• Protect against oxidative stress and collagen loss
• Prepare your skin for sun exposure and UV rays

As we age, our bodies become less effective at naturally neutralising free radicals, leading to a loss of collagen. GOLD COLLAGEN® DEFENCE tablets help to boost your skin’s natural defences, supporting collagen protection from within. So, make it part of your daily routine and take 1 tablet a day to improve your health and wellbeing, especially during the summer months.

In short, caring for and preparing your skin before sun exposure not only helps prevent immediate sun damage but also contributes to maintaining the long-term health and beauty of your skin. It is an investment in the health and vitality of our skin that we must not overlook.
