With the arrival of spring, the days get longer, the sun gets more intense and the desire to spend more time outdoors grows. This period represents the ideal moment to start preparing the skin for sun exposure , so as to face the summer with a more resistant, hydrated and protected skin. In fact, it is precisely in the spring months that the skin begins to accumulate the first damage from UV rays: intervening now means playing in advance.
In this article we will explore how to build a complete and targeted routine to strengthen and protect the skin from the beginning of spring, counteracting oxidative stress and strengthening its natural defenses, thanks to selected active ingredients and specific products.
The sun: source of well-being and risk
Moderate sun exposure is essential for the body: it stimulates the production of vitamin D, regulates circadian rhythms and improves mood. However, the effect of the sun on the skin is not without risks. UVA and UVB rays are responsible for the formation of free radicals , unstable molecules that attack cells, degrade collagen and elastin and promote photoaging .
Sun damage is cumulative and begins with the first rays of spring. For this reason, skin preparation should begin in spring , when the sun is already strong enough to affect the health of the skin.
Antioxidants and vitamins: the first shield against UV damage
The targeted use of antioxidants and vitamins is the first step to building an effective defense. Some nutrients, both topical and systemic, can significantly reduce the negative impact of UV rays on the skin.
T-Age capsule is a supplement specifically formulated for this purpose. It contains Vitamin E , Lycopene , Melatonin and Hyaluronic Acid , a synergistic mix with anti-aging and antioxidant action:
- Vitamin E protects cell membranes and reduces sun-induced inflammation.
- Lycopene , a carotenoid found in tomatoes, acts as a biological shield against UV rays and has been shown to reduce sunburn.
-
Melatonin counteracts oxidative stress both directly (by neutralizing free radicals) and indirectly (by stimulating antioxidant enzymes).
- Hyaluronic Acid keeps skin hydrated and plump, making it more resistant to photodamage.
On a cosmetic level, the E15 Vitamin E Face Serum offers an intensive action thanks to the presence of 15% vitamin E, argan oil (nourishing and repairing) and rice bran oil (rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids). It is an ideal treatment for dry or reddened skin, particularly exposed to environmental stress.
An active routine to build skin resistance
Building a pre-sun beauty routine means acting in depth and regularly to:
- Promote cell renewal
- Strengthen the skin barrier
- Deeply hydrate
- Strengthen antioxidant defenses
1. Gentle exfoliation (1-2 times a week)
Exfoliation is essential to remove dead cells, refine the texture and improve the absorption of subsequent treatments. The Skinlab Exfoliating Toner , based on 2% salicylic acid , aloe and urea , eliminates impurities and regulates sebum, leaving the skin purified but not dry.
2. Toning and pH rebalancing
After cleansing, the skin needs to be rebalanced and soothed. Skinlab Soothing Toner , with calendula and cornflower waters , provitamin B5 and wheat proteins , is ideal for hydrating and calming even the most sensitive skin, restoring comfort and freshness.
3. Deep hydration and barrier strengthening
IAL B3 Skinlab is a high-performance serum that combines double molecular weight hyaluronic acid , niacinamide and an ACE vitamin complex . It improves elasticity, plumps tissue and stimulates collagen production, contributing to firmer, brighter and sun-resistant skin.
4. Intensive antioxidant treatment
The aforementioned E15 Vitamin E Face Serum can be alternated or combined with IAL B3 to provide additional antioxidant protection, particularly useful in case of dehydrated, reddened or sensitive skin.
5. Protective and calming face cream
Skinlab Soothing Cream is a hydrating and soothing face cream formulated with aloe vera , glycyrrhetic acid , allantoin and vitamin E. Suitable for dry or redness-prone skin, it represents a delicate daily protection, also useful in case of allergic reactions or seasonal dermatitis.
6. Targeted integration
Taking T-Age capsules daily supports the skin from within, fighting free radicals, improving deep hydration and boosting the skin's immune response.
After exposure: soothe, hydrate, repair
Although preparation is essential, it can happen that the first intense rays of spring cause redness, dryness or itching . It is important to intervene with targeted soothing and restorative treatments.
Vitamin E10 spray is a 10% dry vitamin E oil -based solution, ideal for spraying on the face and body to calm red or chapped skin , promote skin repair and restore elasticity.
In the days following exposure or as an evening treatment, E15 Vitamin E Face Serum can be reapplied to regenerate the skin barrier and prolong the antioxidant effect.
For particularly reactive skin, subject to erythema or dermatitis, Skinlab Soothing Cream is a valid daily ally: glycyrrhetic acid , similar in structure to cortisone, has a natural anti-inflammatory action that helps restore the skin's balance.
Act now to be ready
April is the ideal month to start taking care of your skin in view of summer . UV radiation is already present and active, even if the temperature does not yet make it noticeable. Intervening now with a targeted routine, which combines topical products and supplementation, allows you to have healthier, more resistant and luminous skin in the long term. Preparing for spring is not just an aesthetic strategy: it is a true act of prevention .
