5 Amazing Tips to Protect Your Skin from the Sun
                     Five
Tip 1: Hydrate your 
skin
Although moisturizer does not directly protect 
your skin from the effect of sun rays. 
Unlike sunscreen gel, it can, in a way, help you the 
limit its harm. The more your skin is exposed to 
the sun, the more it becomes dehydrated and 
tired up. 
The more it dries up, the more sensitive it is to UV 
rays. By nourishing it with a good moisturizer, you 
promote the reconstruction of its protective film 
and rehydrate it after sun exposure. To choose the 
formula that suits you, do not hesitate to consult 
your Brunet cosmetician.
Tip 2: Exfoliate your 
skin
Exfoliation is a major step before sun exposure. This 
helps get rid of dead skin that accumulates on the 
surface of the epidermis and can affect the 
uniformity of the tan. 
That said, you should be extra careful and remember 
to apply sunscreen gel, as exfoliation removes the 
"thin protective layer" on the surface of your skin, 
making it more vulnerable to UV rays. It is therefore 
recommended to wait a few days before exposing 
yourself to the sun. 
Also, as thinner skin will have more difficulty with 
exfoliation than thicker skin, it is better to choose a 
scrub according to your skin type
Tip3: Eat a diet rich in 
carotene and vitamin
Thanks to their antioxidant properties, vitamin c 
serum or foods rich in beta carotene and other 
carotenoids, such as lycopene, may improve your 
skin's protection against UV rays. 
The best sources of carotenoids are sweet 
potatoes, carrots, spinach, pumpkins, broccoli, 
squash, apricots, mangoes, tomatoes, and melons. 
Vitamin E contained in vegetable oils, almonds, 
and walnuts are also said to be photoprotective. 
So don't hesitate to add these sunny foods to your 
menu! Also note that foods rich in carotenoids 
impart an orange color to the skin, which gives 
you a natural tan.
Tip 4: Gradually expose 
yourself
One of the best ways to prepare your skin for the sun is to 
increase your short sun exposure. You should avoid lying 
down for hours at the first rays of the sun, as you risk 
getting bad sunburns that cause certain skin cancers. 
Also, keep in mind that a tan is not good for the skin. It 
consists, in fact, of a reaction of defense of the skin against 
excessive exposure to the sun. Do not forget to cover 
yourself with sunscreen with a high level of protection. 
Also, make sure its broad spectrum and filters out both 
UVA and UVB rays. To learn more about sun protection 
factor SPF and the precautions to take to protect your skin 
from the harmful effects of sunlight.
Tip 5: Choose 
sunscreen gel 
wisely
A good sunscreen gel protects against 
UVB and UVA rays. The bottle must 
have the UVA logo and the ideal SPF, 
especially for Indian skin, is 
Sunscreen SPF 50. On the other hand, it 
does not give any information on UVA, 
not filtered by ozone, which burns the 
skin, causing sunburn and skin cancer.
→ Apply sunscreen every two hours and 
especially after swimming, sweating, or 
drying you.
