Natural cosmetics for tanning

The sun improves mood, stimulates the production of endorphins, improves the body's immunity and synthesizes vitamin D. But unfortunately it can also cause many negative effects on the skin and the health of the body.

How to sunbathe healthily?

First of all, it is important to remember that solar radiation reaches us all year round. Even when there are clouds in the sky, the sun still affects our skin. Therefore, it is worth using effective and high filters on exposed parts of the body all year round. The face, neckline and hands need protection all year round. But what about in the summer?

When we spend the whole day on the beach, on the plot or visiting interesting places we have to take very conscious care of protecting our skin and our health. The most important rules:

• do not stay in full sun between 10am-3pm
• remember to use high filters throughout the day
• reapply sunscreens as needed
• drink plenty of water – check what is the right amount recommended for you
• wear airy and light clothes made of natural fabrics
• cover your head with a hat or scarf

Lazing on a sun lounger in the sun is not healthy for you or your skin. UVB rays are responsible for the brown skin tone that appears during tanning, but also for sunburn. UVA rays, in turn, affect the deeper layers of the skin and we are not protected from them even when sitting behind a window. UVA does not produce immediate noticeable effects, but is responsible for skin photoaging. These rays affect us all year round and significantly accelerate the process of wrinkles, sagging skin, permanent discoloration and damage. On the beach, we need to protect ourselves from both types of radiation, and it is best to use a filter with ultra-high protection. A good choice for a beach outfit will be, for example , a natural glow balm , which protects in the full spectrum of radiation and also provides the highest possible protection, i.e. SPF 50+.

Do natural sunscreens exist?

On the web, you can find discussion forums or advice where some products are promoted as natural sunscreens. It is important to remember that a filter is a substance that has been tested and subjected to thorough research, which allowed to determine its protective effect on the skin. Such protection is expressed in specific numbers. No coconut oil, raspberry seed oil or other home concoctions will provide protection from solar radiation. If the cosmetic does not have an SPF or PPD marking and a description of which type of radiation it protects against (UVA and UVB), put it back on the shelf and do not be tempted by a low price or colorful label. The health of your skin is the most important thing.

Labeling of tanning cosmetics

SPF is an abbreviation for sun protective factor and the value given next to this abbreviation on the packaging indicates how many times you can extend the time you can spend in the sun without developing redness compared to unprotected skin. The SPF marking ends with 50+ - this is the highest indicator that can be used. It means that in detailed tests a given cosmetic has achieved a value higher than 50 and the law then allows the use of the + symbol with the number 50. It is recommended to use a factor with very high protection, i.e. at least SPF 30, and in the summer and in the sun definitely one with a value of 50.

PPD is an abbreviation for persistent pigment darkening. This value is also marked with the UVA PF symbol, which means that as you can see, this indicator refers to one type of radiation. It is therefore known that a cosmetic marked in this way protects the skin from photoaging. According to the law, a product protects the skin from UVA when the SPF to UVA PF ratio is at least 3. For example, in the case of natural creams with Orientana filter, this indicator is as high as 17. Therefore, it is possible to place information on the packaging that these natural cosmetics also protect against UVA.

Another system used to mark sun protection is the PA+ star system. It represents the PPD (UVA PF) value described above. In the case of a PPD value of 17, as in the case of Orientana natural sun cosmetics, the packaging could be marked PA ++++.

How to choose natural tanning cosmetics?

In addition to the most important sun protection factors described above, it is worth looking for cosmetics that will also have additional effects. In the case of the Orientana golden ginseng series, all natural cosmetics with SPF also provide:

• effective anti-aging care

• protection against discoloration

Types of filters in natural tanning cosmetics

Some sunscreens only contain mineral filters. Unfortunately, this results in a heavy consistency. Such filters are difficult to spread on the skin, leaving a white layer on it, so they are only useful on the beach. It is hard to imagine a natural, urban cream with a filter that leaves a white layer of cream on the face. Then you cannot apply make-up either.

In natural cosmetics with SPF, a mixture of organic and mineral filters works best. This provides a light consistency and definitely improves the comfort of using the products. There is no question of whitening the skin, streaking or difficult application of the cosmetic. Additionally, such a combination of filters allows you to create optimal protection in both the UVA and UVB radiation spectrum.

And they can be used all year round.
