Adopt a healthy diet for a radiant complexion
Nutrition plays an essential role in our overall health, and this also includes the appearance of our skin. A balanced and nutrient-rich diet can contribute to a radiant complexion and glowing.
Indeed, what we put on our plate can have a direct impact on the health of our skin.
First of all, it is important to consume a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. These foods are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that help fight free radicals responsible for premature skin aging.
- Citrus fruits such as oranges and lemons are particularly beneficial because they are rich in vitamin C, which promotes the production of collagen, an essential protein for maintaining the firmness and elasticity of the skin.
- In addition to fruits and vegetables, whole grains are also important for glowing skin. Whole grains like oats, quinoa, and brown rice are rich in fiber and antioxidants, which contribute to healthy digestion and the elimination of toxins from the body. Optimal digestion is crucial for maintaining clear skin and preventing skin problems such as acne.
- Essential fatty acids are another key element of a healthy diet for the skin. Fatty fish such as salmon, sardines, and mackerel are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help maintain skin hydration and reduce inflammation. Nuts, flaxseeds, and olive oil are also good sources of healthy fats.
- It is also important to limit the consumption of processed foods, which are rich in refined sugars and saturated fats. These foods can cause inflammation in the body, often reflected by skin problems such as pimples and redness. Instead, opt for fresh and natural foods that nourish your body from the inside.
Finally, let's not forget the importance of hydration. Drinking enough water is essential to maintain healthy and glowing skin.
Water helps eliminate toxins from the body and promotes optimal hydration of the skin, giving it a more supple and radiant appearance.
Prepare and protect your skin
Prepare your skin
The arrival of beautiful days often sparks the desire to spend time outdoors, enjoy the sun, and get a tan.
However, before rushing into the beneficial rays of the sun, it is essential to follow our advice for safe and responsible tanning in order to minimize the risks of damage and maximize the benefits.
By following a few simple steps, you can properly prepare your skin and ensure a tanned complexion while avoiding the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays.
The first step to prepare your skin is to exfoliate it regularly. Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells, revealing softer and smoother skin.
By removing these dead cells, you also promote a more even and long-lasting tan. Use a gentle scrub suitable for your skin type once or twice a week.
Gently massage your face and body using circular motions, focusing on rough areas such as the elbows, knees, and heels. It is good to remove dead skin cells once a week by massaging the face and body with scrubs.
The skin will then be radiant, the complexion glowing, and ready to absorb the active ingredients of our sun care supplements for a sun-kissed complexion with a post-vacation glow. However, be careful not to exfoliate your skin excessively, as this can cause irritation.
Preparing and protecting your skin also takes place on the surface layers, through topical treatments. (How to tan when you have sensitive skin?)
After exfoliation, the next step is to deeply hydrate your skin. Well-hydrated skin is healthier, more supple, and more receptive to the benefits of the sun.
Choose a moisturizer suitable for your skin type and apply it generously to your entire face and body. Dry skin can benefit from a richer cream, while oily skin may opt for a light, non-greasy lotion. You can also choose to nourish your skin from within with our Duo Nutrition-Absolue
Carrot oil is applied in the evening to nourish the skin and provide it with natural carotenoids. Non-aggressive cosmetics such as BB creams, which do not clog the skin's pores and, if possible, have a high SPF and are enriched with vitamin C or E, are used to block skin aging caused by UV rays.
Bronzing powders can be applied for an even more pronounced healthy glow effect. Apply your skincare products with a clean brush to avoid transferring microbes, which your skin hates.
Don't forget to choose a product containing an integrated sunscreen for additional protection against UV rays.
Speaking of sun protection, it is imperative to apply a sunscreen with an adequate sun protection factor (SPF) to prevent damage caused by UV rays. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen that offers protection against UVA and UVB rays. Apply the sunscreen generously to all exposed parts of your body, including the face, neck, arms, and legs. Remember to reapply every two hours, especially if you sweat or swim. For optimal protection, combine your sunscreen with protective clothing such as a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and lightweight but covering clothes.
Avoid applying synthetic self-tanners, harmful to the skin and the environment. Especially spray bottles .. !
In addition to external preparations, it is essential to take care of your skin from the inside.
Protect your skin
Want a sun-kissed complexion all year round without even having to expose yourself to the sun? Discover the solar dietary supplements from D-LAB NUTRICOSMETICS! Capsules to activate skin tanning thanks to their richness in carotenoids, natural pigments, and essential fatty acids.
A harmonious tan starts with well-prepared skin! It is even entirely possible to achieve a tanned, uniform, and radiant complexion without even exposing yourself to the sun. Natural carotenoids from paprika, apricot, turmeric, tomato lycopene, and carrot are known to promote optimal and even skin pigmentation. Combined with the benefits of copper and selenium, they support, optimize, and prolong the tan. They enhance the complexion to forget a pale tone, making the décolleté, cheekbones, or cheeks radiant by giving a caramel complexion!
It is also necessary to provide protective antioxidants such as SOD, pomegranate, or apricot, and radical scavengers like astaxanthin and tomato lycopene for the anti-aging effect and to protect the skin from free radicals, thereby preventing photoaging induced by UV rays. The persistence of a golden and radiant tan relies on skin properly nourished from within. To preserve skin hydration, we rely on omega 3s, essential fatty acids that help maintain the hydrolipidic film which plays a major role in the formation of the skin barrier.
At D-LAB we have developed two treatments targeted at complexion according to each person's issues.
If you want to intensify your skin pigmentation and tan, we recommend our Absolu de Mélanine.
Thanks to its innovative formula with a clinical study concentrated in hydrolyzed keratin, it is naturally rich in melanin, an essential pigment and source of copper that acts at the heart of our cells to naturally pigment the skin, promote tanning, regulate melanin secretion, and protect the skin from the harmful effects of UV rays.
As a reminder, melanin is the natural pigment of our skin that allows us to tan. This Melanin comes from black sheep wool, and is a patented melanin that will allow you to increase your skin pigmentation throughout the year.
If you have fair, sensitive, reactive skin and want to tan without exposure, we recommend the Duo Eclat-Total. It is entirely possible to have a beautiful, radiant, tanned, and even complexion without exposing yourself.
This unique and complete Duo will provide you with a tanning, protective, and soothing action so that you can enjoy the benefits of the sun while protecting yourself from harmful UV rays.
