B. Protect yourself from the sun, some articles

In addition to sunscreen, also consider wearing protective clothing, such as a wide-brimmed hat and long clothing when out in the sun. Quality sunglasses, which block UVA and UVB rays, are also essential for protecting your eyes.

A. Power supply

A healthy and balanced diet can help to optimize the results of your solar capsule treatment.

Certain foods are particularly beneficial for skin health and can promote a natural, even tan.

• Foods rich in beta-carotene, such as carrots, sweet potatoes and spinach, can help improve skin pigmentation.
• Omega-3 fatty acids, found in oily fish such as salmon and sardines, can help maintain skin hydration and reduce inflammation.
• Fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C, such as citrus fruits and berries, support collagen production and help protect the skin against oxidative damage.

B. Hydration

When out in the sun, it is essential to stay hydrated to prevent dehydration and maintain the health of our skin. Good hydration will also be beneficial during your solar capsule treatment.

Here are some of the favorite drinks to stay hydrated and promote healthy skin:

• Water

There's no substitute for plain water when it comes to staying hydrated. Drink water regularly throughout the day, even if you don't feel thirsty. Water helps maintain the fluid balance of our body and supports the proper functioning of our organs, including our skin.

• Coconut water

Coconut water is a natural drink rich in essential electrolytes such as potassium, sodium and magnesium.

These electrolytes help restore fluid balance and prevent dehydration. Plus, coconut water is slightly sweet and refreshing, making it a great option for quenching your thirst in the sun.

• Herbal infusions

Herbal infusions are not only hydrating, but they can also provide additional health benefits to our skin.

For example, chamomile has soothing and anti-inflammatory properties that can help calm the skin after sun exposure.

Peppermint is refreshing and can help reduce redness.

Try herbal infusions like green tea, mint or chamomile to stay hydrated while caring for your skin.

• Fresh fruit juice

Fresh fruit juices can be a great source of hydration, also providing essential nutrients to our skin.

Citrus juices, such as orange or grapefruit juice, are rich in vitamin C, which helps with cell renewal and collagen production.

Red fruit juices are also a good option, as they are rich in antioxidants that can help protect our skin from damage caused by UV rays.

• Smoothies 

Smoothies are a great way to combine hydration and nutrition.

Use water-rich fruits, such as watermelon or melon, as the base for your smoothie.

Then add leafy green vegetables, like spinach or kale, to increase the skin benefits. You can also add a tablespoon of flax or chia seeds to benefit from omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for skin hydration.

To obtain a tanned complexion without risking excessive exposure to the sun, we have chosen powerful plant extracts rich in carotenoids.

Beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A, plays a crucial role in skin health by promoting cell renewal and intensifying color during tanning. 

Natural apricot and carrot extracts, abundant in carotenoids, naturally stimulate the tanning process by promoting the synthesis of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin coloring. 

Copper, for its part, contributes to the production of melanin, thus ensuring optimal pigmentation of the skin.

Result: the skin is adorned with a naturally pigmented tan, the tan is activated and prolonged, while avoiding overexposure to the sun.

Although the sun can provide benefits for the body and mind, it is crucial to protect the skin to avoid its harmful effects.

UV rays, in high concentrations, cause oxidative damage which accelerates premature skin aging, manifesting itself in thinning of the skin, the appearance of wrinkles and facial pigment spots .

We have opted for a patented pomegranate extract and scientifically tested for its anti-aging properties.

Rich in punicalagin polyphenols (titrated at 30%), this extract promotes cell regeneration, tightens skin texture and prevents the formation of wrinkles. It also significantly reduces hyperpigmentation and dark spots related to excessive sun exposure.

In vitro studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of our ingredient in protecting the skin against UV rays, providing protection against oxidative damage caused by UVB, stimulating the production of pro-collagen and of hyaluronic acid, and by promoting the regeneration of cells damaged by UVB.

D-LAB is committed to taking care of you by integrating specific active ingredients into each of its formulas to preserve the health of the body on a daily basis.

A concentrate of vitamins and minerals, including selenium, copperand vitamin B2, helps protect the skin against oxidative stress, the main cause of premature skin aging.
