Tip 1: Natural sun protection for the skin from within

It is important to protect your skin not only from the outside, but also from the inside. We are mainly talking about protection against pigmentation, UVA/UVB radiation and pollution. Especially now that we are outside a lot more in the summer, antioxidants play a crucial role in this. They provide protection against free radicals and harmful external influences, such as excessive exposure to sunlight and environmental factors. Research has shown that UV radiation and air pollution produce free radicals on and in the skin. Free radicals "steal" electrons from healthy cells and turn them into free radicals. Antioxidants neutralize these free radicals and prevent damage to healthy cells. A powerful Astaxanthin that can protect your skin from the inside out against UV radiation, among other things, is ours: #08 Astaxanthin . It is therefore a valuable addition to your summer skin care.

Tip 2: Be wise

Sunlight is an important part of healthy living, but it is also important to protect yourself from the power of the sun. It is important to be sensible in the sun and protect yourself from overexposure to harmful UV rays. It is advisable not to bake unprotected for hours, between 11am and 4pm. When you do go out into the sun, it is important to regularly apply a layer of natural sun protection to your skin.

Tip 3: Choose natural sun protection for your skin

Just as we pay attention to the purity of our supplements , it is also important to be aware of what we put on our skin. Our skin is like a big sponge and absorbs everything we apply to it. That is why it is important to choose natural, mineral sun care products. Did you know that your skin absorbs what you apply to it within 20 seconds? We recommend the Dr. Hauschka Tinted Sunscreen Face SPF 30 . This cream not only protects against the sun's rays, but also ensures a fresh complexion without a white cast. In addition, Dr. Hauschka's After Sun Lotion is an excellent choice to cool, refresh and nourish your skin after a hot summer day. This lotion also activates your skin's ability to regenerate. Dr. Hauschka is known for its pure and natural products, and these care products are no exception. We are already huge fans, but do you want to know more about Dr. Hauschka? Click here .

Tip 4: Hydrate from within

In addition to applying the right products to your skin, hydration from within is of great importance. Especially during hot days, when you lose a lot of moisture through perspiration, it is essential to drink enough. Water and green tea are great choices. You can also enrich your water by adding Himalayan salt (also called sole - mega good for replenishing your minerals), lemon, ginger, mint leaves and cucumber. In addition, nutrition plays an important role in hydration. Eating foods with a high water content can help prevent dehydrated skin. Think of: watermelon, cucumber, radishes, carrots, grapefruit, strawberries and pineapple hydrating fruits. Preferably choose unsprayed varieties for optimal health benefits. But also green leafy vegetables like lettuce and spinach, bell peppers, broccoli, turnip greens and eggs are good choices because of the lutein content. Lutein in food provides protection against UV radiation.

Tip 5: Let the sun work for you

Sun = HEALTHY! Although burning is not good for your skin, it is important to go into the sun unprotected every day, preferably early in the morning to catch the first rays. This ensures a good vitamin D level and your skin builds up natural sun protection. In addition to vitamin D production, sunlight has other benefits. It regulates our body functions and sleep patterns, and makes us feel cheerful and energetic. However, don't forget to regularly apply a layer of sunscreen during the day to protect your skin.

Conclusion: natural sun protection for skin

A radiant and hydrated summer skin requires the right care and protection. In addition to using natural sun protection for your skin, it is essential to also protect your skin from within with the help of antioxidants such as Astaxanthin . Remember to be sensible in the sun, avoiding the sun's power during the hottest part of the day and regularly reapplying a new layer of sun protection. Choose natural care products that care for and protect your skin without harmful ingredients. Hydrate yourself from within by drinking enough water and consuming foods high in water content.
