Wrinkles and early aging
In a study published in 2014 entitled “Ultraviolet radiation and the skin’s aging”, researchers claim that sun exposure is responsible for 80% of the skin’s signs of aging, especially wrinkles and fine lines that appear on the skin, neck, and cleavage. How does it happen? Researchers explain that UV radiation accelerates the production of free radicals in the skin cells, which completely disrupt the skin’s protection mechanism and damage elastin and collagen, which form the supporting structure of the skin. The result: That structure gets loose and loses its organizational capacity, leading an onset of wrinkles and saggy skin.
Dry skin
That damage can be observed even in relatively young people. The increased production of free radicals also hurts the skin’s capability to maintain moisture, and as a result, it already begins to lose its vitality and appears dry, lacking moisture and elasticity already at an early stage.
Pigmentation
If you suffer from pigmentation from a young age then you’re not alone. These spots are the most common aesthetic reason for women to seek beauty therapists and dermatologists. Studies that used imaging technology on violet skin visually show major damage already in subjects in their twenties and even among teens and children. That problem is caused by an exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet radiation, which triggers a counter-reaction in the cells, and as a result, melanin production by the specialized cells – the melanocytes. The story is simple: The longer exposure you have to the sun, the more melanin these cells will generate in order to protect the skin. For that reason, the skin appears tanned. But it’s a double-edged sword – that’s also the reason behind spots, as the spread of melanin particles is not always uniform and tends to build up in some areas of the skin.

Facial redness
Exposure to heat and UV rays also causes a major dilation of the facial blood vessels, especially in the cheeks, nose, and chin, providing a reddish and blushed appearance. Repeated exposure may cause irreversible damage to them, resulting in a permanent reddish appearance and dilated blood vessels, with possible onset of rosacea – a chronic skin disease manifested by heightened redness, dilated blood vessels, a burning sensation, swelling and oftentimes pimples. Although the disease has a genetic factor, exposure to the sun and extreme heat is one of the key factors that can trigger its onset.
Acne rash
If your skin is greasy and prone to acne, prolonged exposure to the sun may cause an acne rash. There are several reasons for it, mainly excess sweating in the heat and excess secretion of sebum by the skin’s mammary glands, thereby blocking the pores and causing a proliferation of the P. acne bacteria that are found within them.
Skin cancer
It’s no secret that sun exposure is a key factor for skin cancers, such as basalioma and carcinoma, which also contribute to melanoma. Based on research published in 2013, the risk for melanoma is especially linked to sunburns, especially when they appear at a relatively young age. Therefore, although skin cancers are mostly diagnosed in the fifth or sixth decades of life, the damage that triggers them is due to tanning in young ages. Even in these cases, the main factor is free radicals, which disrupt the skin’s protective mechanism against radiation damage. In repeated damage to the cells, the capacity to repair the damage is impaired.
How can you prevent the damages?
It should be noted: There’s no such thing as “healthy tanning”. In order to prevent the harmful effects of tanning, you should avoid prolonged exposure to the sun, and if you go out, apply sunscreen.
The Sunbrella range includes sunscreen products that integrate moisture, vitamins and sunscreens, and is suitable for daily use for the skin’s maximum protection against UVA and UVB radiation. The range includes products with SPF factors in two levels – SPF 30 and SPF50+, so that the level of protection can be suited to the skin tone and its level of sensitivity to the sun.
Alongside the UVA and UVB sunscreens, the products range contain vitamins C and E, which are known to reduce sun-exposure damage to the skin, as well as provide the skin with broad a protection that goes beyond sunblock. Sunbrella SPF50+ products also contain a hyaluronic-acid booster that raises the level of moisture in the skin and improves its texture and wrinkles’ appearance, thereby offering moisture with active ingredients with an especially-broad protection against the sun.
All the products are characterized by a light texture, leaving the facial skin soft and pleasant. It’s quickly absorbed and maintains the skin’s natural tone without leaving a white layer on the face and can therefore be used daily. Another major advantage in the range – each of its products, at the two SPF levels, SPF30 and SPF50+, are available in a makeup-like version. Additionally, each product is offered in a “to go” version, which allows you to carry the product in your bag and use it when you’re out in the sun, or reapply it when necessary.

Spring has come and the bathing season is just around the corner. The heat and the pleasant weather are tempting to go out to nature and the beach, take a tan and soak in the warm sun rays. But with the love for the beach and tanning, you should keep in mind the harmful aspects of the sun, and it’s not only about skin cancer but how tanning affects your facial skin over the years, especially in a sunny and warm country such as Israel. The 8 reasons that will make you stop tanning:
Sunburns
A red and burning skin is definitely unpleasant, especially if the burn is also accompanied by blistering. And it surely doesn’t make anyone’s skin more beautiful. In fair-skinned people, sunburns may already appear after a short exposure to the sun’s rays during peak hours (10:00 to 16:00).

How should the sunscreen be suited to our facial-skin type?
In general, you should choose a product with an SPF factor of at least 30. If you’re fair skinned and prone to burn quickly, you need sunscreens with an SPF factor of 50 or higher. In addition, if you leave home for an extended activity, you should take with you a sunscreen with an SPF factor of 50.
With all the fun in tanning, exposing the skin to the sun can take a heavy toll that will appear in both short and long-term damage, from sunburns through wrinkles and the skin’s early aging, pigmentation, redness, acne rashes and even skin cancer. To prevent the damage, you should avoid prolonged exposure to the sun, and if you do go out, protect the skin and apply a high-quality sunscreen cream. The Sunbrella range provides a quality solution from radiation – with products that offer maximum protection to the skin against the harmful UVA and UVB radiations, while offering high levels of moisture and vitamins that also contribute to the skin’s protection from radiation and are suitable for daily use. The products are also offered in make-up-like and to-go versions so that you can use them anywhere and at any time.
