Protect yourself against solar radiation

The sun emits radiation: UV rays. Among them, in cosmetics, it is UVA, UVB and blue light that are of concern because they reach the skin.
UVA rays, emitted by the sun, penetrate the deep layer of the skin: the dermis. Present in too great a quantity in the skin, it then undergoes premature aging:wrinklesand sometasksappear, it loses elasticity.
UVB rays, on the other hand, are necessary to give the skin the energy it needs to produce vitamin D. However, if they penetrate the epidermis too intensely, they can cause damage. The skin defends itself by producing melanin, tanning appears, but in the event of overexposure, sunburn appears. Repeatedly, they accelerate skin aging and are a risk factor for skin cancers.
Most sun care products focus on protecting against these UVA and UVB rays. Laboratoire Garancia has decided to go further with broad-spectrum protective sun care products that also protectagainst blue lightthanks to plant protectors.
Blue light, although less intense than UVA-UVB, penetrates deeper into the skin, up to the hypodermis. In case of overexposure, risks exist for the skin: loss of firmness, the appearance of wrinkles and spots. Depending on the skin phototype, the sensitivity and natural protection of the latter against UV rays is not the same. Protecting it, whatever its phototype, is therefore essential.

Protect yourself from the sun with sunscreens

There are 2 types of sunscreens which act differently on the skin:
- Organic filters (also called chemical filters) which penetrate the epidermis and absorb UV rays instead of the skin.
- Mineral filters which form a shield on the surface of the skin to reflect UV rays.
Compared to mineral filters, clean organic filters provide greater protection against UVA/UVB, a longer action and have the property of not leaving white marks on the skin, whatever the phototype!
The aim of Laboratoire Garancia was to enter a new generation of sun care by offering effective, healthy formulas without filters banned in certain international areas (suspected of being harmful to aquatic life), suspected of being endocrine disruptors, potentially allergenic or considered NANO according to the European Cosmetic Regulation and the European Commission.

Protect yourself from the sun's rays with plant-based protectors

Plant protectors have phytoprotective properties against blue light and an antioxidant power. They help reduce protein carbonylation, a factor in skin aging, trap and inhibit the action of free radicals for an antioxidant action and protect against oxidative stress from blue light.

How to choose your UV index?

Sunscreen helps protect the skin from sunburn, which can cause premature aging and skin cancer. Applying sunscreen is as important as choosing the right protection factor or SPF (or FPS, Sun Protection Factor). This index indicates the level of protection of the filters against UVB.
To choose it, it is important to refer to your skin type and sun exposure conditions. The lighter and more sensitive the skin is to the sun, the more necessary it is to protect yourself from the sun and use a sunscreen with a high SPF. Also, the more intense the sunshine and therefore the strong UV rays, the more it is recommended to protect the skin with a high protection factor.
European regulations require protection against UVA rays of at least 1/3 of the UVB index.

How to choose sun protection for your child?

Exposing your young children or babies to direct sunlight is not recommended. Overexposure to the sun should also be avoided, even with sunscreen. The skin of babies and young children is more fragile and sensitive. Applying a sunscreen with a very high protection factor is recommended to protect them. *Offer valid from the purchase of 2 sun care products excluding accessories, product bundles and boxes, once per order, while stocks last on garancia-beauty.com and in participating pharmacies and drugstores.
