6 tips to get beautiful tanned skin

Summer is a time when a person’s skin, tanned and strong, becomes the fashionable accent of the season. It is surprisingly difficult to obtain the ideal bronzed skin, as the desire to burn is often preceded by the desire to peel off the skin, or the skin does not turn black (or too dark). In this issue, we will introduce tips on how to obtain the ideal bronzed skin!

(1) Take vitamins before tanning

When you get sunburned, your skin is more or less damaged. By taking vitamins A, C, and E, you can prepare for UV damage by increasing antioxidant activity.

It is said that it is difficult to obtain sufficient amounts of these vitamins through normal diet alone, so it is recommended to take supplements before sun exposure. The recently popular “drinkable sunscreen” is not a sunscreen that prevents sunburn, but a supplement whose main ingredients are antioxidant vitamins that inhibit skin damage and aging caused by sunburn.

(2) Apply the best sunscreen for the skin and scene you are aiming for.

A variety of sunscreens are released by various manufacturers, and it is important to choose the sunscreen that best suits the skin you are aiming for and the scene in which you want to tan. Even if you want to tan completely black, do not burn without applying anything.

If your skin is not accustomed to sun exposure or is exposed to harsh UV rays, you will want to choose a sunscreen with a high sun protection factor. SPF and SPA are the most important factors to consider.

What is SPF? SPF is a “skin redness protection factor.

SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor, an index that indicates the effectiveness of protection against UVB waves, also known as the ultraviolet ray protection index.

It is a measure of how long it takes for red spots to form on the skin when exposed to ultraviolet rays. For example, a sunscreen with SPF 50 can increase the time it takes for red spots to appear by 50 times. In Japan, however, SPFis limited to 50because the difference in effectiveness is not clear above SPF50.

What is PA? PA is “a measure of protection against darkening of the skin.”

PA stands for Protection Grade of UVA, also known as UV-A protection index, and is an indicator of the effectiveness in preventing UVA waves.

While SPF is an index for preventing the cause of reddening of the skin, PA is an index for the degree of protection against the cause of darkening of the skin. PA is indicated in three levels as defined by the Japan Cosmetic Industry Association: PA+: PFA 2 or higher and less than 4, indicating good UV-A protective effect / PA++: PFA 4 or higher and less than 8, indicating good UV-A protective effect PA+++: PFA 8 or higher, very effective UV-A protection. Choose a sunscreen with this high index if your skin is already close to the ideal color or if you are going out to the ocean where UV rays are strong.

Many surfers are also avid users of this product. ” Shiseido Anessa Perfect UV Sunscreen A+N 60ml

Incidentally, sunscreens with high SPF and SPA are not recommended for daily use, but should be used in case of emergency, as they are hard on the skin.

(3) Focus on sunburn-prone areas with a stick-type sunscreen

The forehead and nose are particularly prone to sunburn due to the shape of the face. We recommend that you focus on these areas when UV rays are strong and during leisure activities at the beach. Surfers are familiar with stick-type sunscreen, which can be applied in layers.

Vivo Outdoor UV” for strong ultraviolet rays

(4) Reapply sunscreen

Sweat and water will cause sunscreen to come off. This is true even for water-proof sunscreens. It is important to reapply every few hours.

(5) Rapid tanning is a recipe for failure. Burn little by little.

Suddenly tanning skin that is not accustomed to ultraviolet rays tends to cause skin irritation and other problems.

The key is to tan gradually while checking the condition of the skin, such as avoiding tanning between 10:00 and 14:00, when UV rays are strong, and limiting the first tanning session to 30 minutes or less. It is also a good idea to go to a tanning salon in advance to prepare the skin for tanning.

(6) Care immediately after tanning is crucial.

It goes without saying that it is important to take care of the skin after sun exposure, but it is forbidden to take it easy and say, “I’ll take my time after I get home…. However, it is not advisable to take it easy and relax after you get home.

Cool the skin immediately by showering and washing the face, and apply a lot of moisturizing lotion or lotion as soon as possible. A regular lotion is fine, but if possible, choose an aloe gel or other lotion with anti-inflammatory properties.

It is common knowledge among surfers who are exposed to severe sun exposure that ” carry lotion and lotion with you ” and ” moisturize first and foremost when you get back to your car.
