Sobre a Marca:

O fundador de australian Gold, Trevor Gray, nasceu e foi criado em uma pequena cidade de Indiana, mas graças ao histórico de sua mãe, sua conexão com a Austrália foi profunda. Trevor foi criado por três mulheres australianas e sentiu uma forte conexão com a terra e a cultura de sua mãe. Ao viajar de volta à Austrália para visitar sua família, ele sempre se sentiu atraído pela bela paisagem do país, pela cultura vibrante e pela forte paixão por tudo que é sol e surf. Ele sabia que um dia encontraria uma maneira de compartilhar o "estilo de vida australiano" em sua casa nos EUA e, em 1985, nasceu o Australian Gold® Sunscreen. Esta marca e seus produtos visam abraçar totalmente o estilo de vida ativo dos australianos e seu amor ao ar livre, através de seu perfume incrível, ingredientes naturais e desempenho incomparável.

Self-Tanner for the Face: A Perfect and Safe Tan

The tan is a desired feature for many people, but prolonged sun exposure can be harmful to skin health. Fortunately, self-tanner offers a safe and effective alternative to achieve a golden tone without the need to expose yourself to harmful UV rays. In this article, we'll discuss the use of self-tanner specifically for the face, highlighting its benefits and tips for achieving a perfect and natural result.

1. Tan without Damage:

Facial self-tanner allows you to achieve a healthy tan without exposing yourself to harmful UV rays. Unlike sun exposure or tanning beds, self-tanner is a safe option to attain a temporary and damage-free golden skin tone, containing active ingredients like dihydroxyacetone (DHA).

2. Precise and Even Application:

Facial self-tanners are formulated for the delicate skin of the face, usually in light textures for easy and even application. With the right products and simple techniques, it's possible to achieve a spotless and flawless result, ensuring a natural and impeccable tan.

3. Hydration and Skin Care:

In addition to the tanning effect, many facial self-tanners contain moisturizing and nourishing ingredients that help maintain soft, smooth, and healthy skin. Opting for a facial self-tanner that also offers additional skincare benefits can be a great choice for a long-lasting tan and well-cared-for skin.

4. Versatility and Customization:

Facial self-tanners offer versatility and the ability to customize the tan result. With a wide range of products available, you can choose the tan intensity according to your personal preferences, whether you prefer a subtle tan or a more intense shade.

5. Maintenance and Durability:

After applying facial self-tanner, it's essential to keep the skin hydrated and cared for to prolong the tan's duration. Regular moisturizing, avoiding harsh exfoliation, and using gentle cleansers help maintain the tan. Additionally, reapplying the self-tanner as needed over time will help maintain a consistent tan on the face.

Conclusion:

Facial self-tanner provides a safe and effective way to achieve a desired tan without exposing the skin to sun damage. With its precise and even application, facial self-tanner delivers a natural and spotless result. Moreover, many products contain moisturizing and nourishing ingredients, leaving the skin soft and radiant. The versatility of self-tanner allows customization according to personal preferences. By following proper maintenance tips, it's possible to prolong the durability of the facial tan.

Remember to read the product instructions and conduct a sensitivity test before applying self-tanner to the face. Consulting a dermatologist is also recommended, especially for individuals with sensitive skin or pre-existing conditions.

Enjoy a healthy and beautiful tan on your face with responsible use of self-tanner. Keep your skin protected and avoid risks associated with excessive sun exposure while still enjoying the benefits of a radiant and bronzed appearance.

Sun Protection Products: Choose a Safe and Effective Product!

Without the protection of clothing and effective sunscreen, prolonged exposure to the sun can be risky.

Which Sunscreen Product to Choose?

Always check the instructions on the product label!
Sun protection products (creams, gels, oils, or sprays) are cosmetic products intended to protect against the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation from the sun (UVA and UVB) when applied according to the instructions provided on the packaging.
However, it is wrong to believe that these products offer complete sun protection and allow you to stay exposed for longer. Caution should be exercised in terms of time and duration of exposure.

UVA, UVB, Make the Difference!

Tanning is a skin defense reaction that opposes a filter to the penetration of solar radiation. But this filter does not have unlimited capacity.
Solar radiation is composed, among other things, of ultraviolet B rays (UVB rays) and ultraviolet A rays (UVA rays). "Sunburn" is mainly caused by UVB rays. UVA rays are responsible for premature skin aging.
UVB rays are the main factor in skin cancer, while UVA rays play a significant role in its appearance.

Different Types of Sun Protection: Which to Choose?

There are two main categories of sun protection offered by cosmetics, depending on the nature of the filters and their mode of action; all must be expressly authorized by regulations:
•    Organic or chemical filters that act by absorbing UV radiation;
•    Mineral filters, namely titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, which act by reflecting UV rays: they do not penetrate the epidermis;
•    Organic or inorganic filters may be present in nanometric form. The [nano] mention must then be added to the name of the substance in the mandatory list of ingredients on the packaging.
•    These different filters, chemical or mineral, nano or not, can be combined by manufacturers to optimize efficiency.

Sunscreen Products, Protection Level: Read the Label!

Against UVB rays: the sun protection factor (SPF) or protection index (IP) is an essential criterion of choice. It corresponds to the delaying effect of the product in relation to sun aggression.
The product category followed by a number corresponding to the "sun protection factor (SPF)" is used to assess its effectiveness. The higher the SPF, the greater the photoprotective action.
The European Commission proposed grouping sun protection factors to keep only eight different numbers on labels. However, not all labeling has been changed, and old sun protection factors are sometimes retained.

Note: Claims like "full screen" or "total protection" should not be used. Although common, they are false because no sun product offers complete protection against ultraviolet radiation.
The European Commission defined, in its recommendation of September 22, 2006, the labeling rule for sunscreens. Taken from this recommendation, the table below specifies the correspondences between categories and sun protection factors:

Sun Protection Factors

Low protection    6-10
Medium protection    15-20-25
High protection    30-50
Very high protection    50+

Against UVA rays: check if your sunscreen has, in addition to the SPF, the UVA logo. This is the guarantee of ideal protection against ultraviolet rays.

Note: This logo is not mandatory but recommended and used by many professionals. Other mentions or indications regarding protection against UVA rays may, however, appear on the packaging.
Some "conventional" media insist on the existence of so-called controversial ingredients in sun products.
Remember that sunscreens can only contain UV filters authorized by cosmetic regulations (about thirty) because they are assessed as risk-free for human health. Exposing yourself to the sun without any protection, however, is dangerous.
Consumers are advised to read labels and inquire about the composition of the products they purchase, especially if they have special ethical or environmental requirements or a history of sensitivity to certain substances.

Usage Tips
The National Union of Dermatologists has published the 10 precautions to be taken against the harmful effects of the sun:
•    The best protection is clothing for everyone (especially children): hat, sunglasses, shirt.
•    Babies and young children should not be exposed to direct sunlight;
•    Sunburns are dangerous, especially in children;
•    Avoid direct exposure between 12:00 and 4:00 PM
•    Sun exposure should be gradual;
•    Sand, snow, water can reflect more than half of the sun's rays on your skin;
•    Your sunscreen, anti-UVB and anti-UVA, should be renewed every two hours and after each bath, regardless of its protection index;
•    Use sunscreen suitable for your skin type;
•    Sunscreen is not intended to increase the exposure time;
•    In altitude and in the tropics, it is necessary to increase the sun protection index of the product usually used.
