At summecosmetics<\/strong> we want to help you enjoy this summer to the fullest and finally lose your fear of the Sun<\/strong>. Keep reading to discover everything that its rays give us, as well as our advice on how to protect yourself properly\u2026 and even enhance its effects!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

KEY BENEFITS OF SUNLIGHT<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Vitamin D Synthesis<\/strong><\/h4>\n

If you want to keep strong bones and teeth<\/strong>, let the sun help you. Exposure to sunlight, particularly to UVB rays, promotes the synthesis of vitamin D<\/strong> in the skin. This is essential for calcium absorption<\/strong>, in addition to having protective effects against multiple diseases.<\/p>\n

Emotional Wellbeing<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Have you ever noticed that when the good weather arrives, you are more cheerful and in a good mood? This is largely because exposure to sunlight stimulates serotonin production<\/strong>, a hormone associated with mood elevation and calmness<\/strong>. Regular exposure to natural light can help alleviate symptoms of depression, particularly of seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and other mood disorders.<\/p>\n

\"\"Cardiovascular Health<\/strong><\/h4>\n

There is growing evidence that sunlight exposure contributes to cardiovascular health by helping to regulate blood pressure<\/strong>. Furthermore, the increase in vitamin D that we mentioned above, when it is due to sun exposure and not supplementation, is related to an improvement in total cholesterol levels<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Immune System Support<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Sunlight also helps to maintain your health by modulating the immune response<\/strong>, which can help reduce body inflammation, the risk of autoimmune diseases and increase the body’s ability to fight infections.<\/p>\n

Sleep Quality Improvement<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Did you know that your body has an internal clock that lets you know when to feel awake and when to feel sleepy, without even knowing what time it is? Exposure to natural light helps regulate this circadian clock<\/strong> (from the Latin circa<\/em>, meaning \u2018around\u2019 and dies<\/em>, meaning \u2018day\u2019). This is crucial for overall health and well-being, as it improves the quality and duration of sleep<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Skin Therapy<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun may be therapeutic for certain skin conditions due to its anti-inflammatory properties<\/strong> and ability to alter the growth cycle of skin cells<\/strong>. Controlled sun exposure is sometimes prescribed under medical supervision for psoriasis, eczema, jaundice and acne.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SUNSCREEN, YOUR GREATEST ALLY<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Although sun exposure has all these positive effects, we must remember that, as everything good, its excess can be harmful.<\/p>\n

Our recommendation? Aside from wearing protective clothing and accessories and avoiding the sun during peak hours, we have multiple reasons to believe that sunscreens are one of the best options for protecting your skin<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
