What should skin protection from the sun look like?
Restoring the elasticity of the skin and its regeneration after tanning are tasks more difficult when we have not previously taken care of effective sun protection. Proper prevention reduces the risk of sunburn, dryness and discoloration.
In summer care, it is extremely important to protect the skin from the harmful effects of the sun on a daily basis. Protective creams with UV filter should not only be used during sunbathing — they require regular reapplication during the day, especially after contact with water or sweat. Products with a broad spectrum of action protect against UVA and UVB radiation, and their SPF factor should not be lower than 30, and for face and children - 50.
The protection is complemented by appropriate clothing — light, covering arms and legs, and wide-brimmed hats. Sunglasses with UV filter effectively protect the skin around the eyes and protect the eyesight. Avoiding the sun during peak hours and seeking shade on hot days should become a habit every summer.
Moisturizing the body from the inside also plays an important role - especially at high temperatures. Drinking plenty of water promotes the regeneration of the epidermis and reduces the risk of dehydration, which can lead to irritation and redness.
Sunburned face — what can skin regeneration look like after sunbathing?
Red skin, burning and flaking of the epidermis are typical symptoms of damage to the skin by the sun's rays. In the case of the face, the situation can be particularly bothersome, because the skin here is thinner and more prone to complications. Adequate regeneration of the skin after tanning allows you to mitigate the effects of exposure to ultraviolet radiation.
Regeneration of the skin after the summer — home remedies
In the case of skin damaged by the sun, it is worth starting by cleansing it and exfoliating dead cells. Enzyme peels gently remove the epidermis without the risk of mechanical damage. You can also use home methods, such as sugar or coffee scrub, by performing a gentle skin massage.
After exfoliation, you need to thoroughly clean your face - it is worth betting on a two-stage wash: first oil or lotion, then foam or gel. Thanks to this, the skin becomes prepared for the next stages of care and better absorbs the active ingredients from cosmetics.
Intensive moisturizing is the next necessary stage. Moisturizing cream with hyaluronic acid will help restore the hydrolipid barrier and retain water in the deeper layers of the skin. Equally effective will be aloe gels, panthenol, shea butter or glycerin. In the case of dry and dehydrated skin, it is also worth reaching for natural oils - such as jojoba or wild rose - which soften and regenerate the epidermis.
Diet is another element that affects the nutrition of the skin. Products rich in vitamins C, B, E and beta-carotene support its restoration, and omega-3 acids have a positive effect on skin elasticity. Consuming the right amount of water every day has a direct impact on its regeneration from the inside.
Regeneration of the skin after sunbathing — treatments in the beauty salon
Home methods are not always enough, especially when we are dealing with deeper skin lesions. Professional treatments offered in beauty salons allow you to reach deep into the skin and restore its healthy glow.
Among the most frequently chosen are: LED light therapy, chemical peels and needle mesotherapy. Each of them responds to different needs — from skin nutrition, to the reduction of pigmentation, to the stimulation of collagen fibers.
Improving skin condition after summer — LED light therapy
Regeneration of the skin after the summer using LED light therapy is a method that uses the energy emitted by diodes of a certain wavelength. Light penetrates into different layers of the skin, stimulating repair processes, and at the same time does not cause thermal shock or irritation. Unlike sunlight, it does not contain UV radiation, so the treatment is safe and can be performed even with sensitive or dehydrated skin.
In LED therapy, several types of light are used that act on different skin problems. The violet color supports the processes of cleansing the epidermis and soothes acne lesions, while the blue color has an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect. Yellow and orange improve skin tone, help lighten blemishes and restore its healthy glow. Red light stimulates collagen production, increasing the firmness and elasticity of the skin, and infrared supports regenerative processes, reducing irritation and swelling. LED Light Therapy can be used on the face, neck, décolleté, as well as other parts of the body, including areas affected by photo-damage.
Effects of LED light therapy
The effects of LED therapy are visible after just a few sessions. The skin becomes more taut and smooth, and its tone is leveled. The appearance of fine wrinkles decreases, and the structure of the epidermis improves. Regular irradiation stimulates the regenerative processes of the skin, which contributes to its nutrition and improvement of condition after a period of intense sun exposure. The treatment relieves redness, reduces discoloration and supports the healing of sunburn. Such therapy can significantly accelerate the regeneration of the skin after the summer and restore its balance.
Moisturizing the skin — chemical peeling
PRX-T33 peeling is an advanced biorevitalization treatment that intensively regenerates the skin without peeling effect. It combines the action of trichloroacetic acid, hydrogen peroxide and kojic acid, affecting the deeper layers of the skin and supporting its renewal. The procedure does not violate the continuity of the epidermis, so it does not cause irritation or redness. It is recommended for people whose skin has lost its firmness and radiance after the summer, as well as those who are struggling with hyperpigmentation or visible signs of aging.
The preparation used in PRX-T33 has a multidimensional effect — it stimulates fibroblasts to produce new collagen fibers, lightens deep discolorations and strengthens the lipid barrier. The effect of renewal is immediately visible - the skin becomes smoother, more taut and illuminated. Chemical peeling can be used all year round, also as part of preparation for other aesthetic treatments.
The effects of peeling PRX-T33
The results of the PRX-T33 scrub include improving firmness, smoothing fine wrinkles and brightening the skin. The appearance of acne scars is reduced and the skin tone is evened out. The treatment visibly reduces traces of sunburn and restores a healthy appearance to the skin. The feeling of tightness, characteristic of excessive exposure to the sun, goes away because the skin is intensely moisturized. Regular performance of PRX-T33 promotes its regeneration and protects against the effects of harmful external factors.
Hair regeneration after summer — needle mesotherapy
Prolonged exposure to the sun and salt water weakens not only the skin of the face, but also the scalp and hair. Needle mesotherapy involves the delivery of nutrients directly into the deeper layers of the skin. During the procedure, hyaluronic acid and vitamin cocktails are introduced, which stimulate the natural regeneration processes. When applied to the scalp, it strengthens the roots, reduces hair loss and improves their structure.
Needle mesotherapy of the face, neck and décolleté supports the restoration of collagen fibers, improving skin tone and elasticity. This is one of the most effective methods of regeneration after the summer, when UV radiation weakens the hydrolipid barrier and causes overdrying.
Effects of needle mesotherapy
After a series of treatments, the skin becomes firmer, better nourished and moisturized. Visibly, her complexion improves and wrinkles are reduced. For the scalp needle mesotherapy strengthens the roots and accelerates hair regrowth, which will be especially appreciated by those who struggle with their weakening after excessive exposure to the sun. The skin regains a healthy glow, and its structure becomes smoother and more elastic.
