Want a natural look and protection from UV rays? Try the new Sunlight Mat Tinted Dry Touch cream
Posted by Ivatherm
Bright days are ideal for long walks, relaxing by a pool, parties, and fun activities. However, no matter how much joy outdoor time in the sun brings us, it is necessary to protect our skin from ultraviolet radiation.
Prolonged sun exposure can have negative effects on our skin. As we age, the effects of sun exposure become evident, so it's no wonder that signs of premature aging appear: fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.
Therefore, during the summer season, we must pay special attention to our skin and skincare routine to ensure that our skin maintains its luminosity and youthful appearance for as long as possible. Extra care and protection are needed.
What should we do? We prioritize hydration (both with cosmetic products and through diet), use products with a light texture, and apply a non-comedogenic cream with sun protection factor daily.
We let the skin breathe by using light moisturizers that provide sufficient hydration without burdening the complexion. We avoid make-up products as much as possible. We can use a sunscreen with a tinted pigment, such as Sunlight Mat Tinted Dry Touch. This way, the skin tone is evened out, without necessarily using make-up products.
With an adequate summer routine and increased attention to activities during this period, we can take care of our skin, protecting it from ultraviolet radiation, and at the same time, have a radiant look.

The impact of ultraviolet radiation on the skin
The sun is a constant source of heat and light, essential for life on Earth. However, the ultraviolet (UV) rays it emits are harmful to the skin.
The sun emits UVA and UVB radiation, which can penetrate the skin and cause cellular damage.
UVA rays, with longer wavelengths, can reach the deep layers of the skin, destroying collagen and elastin fibers, which are essential for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity. This leads to the appearance of wrinkles, and the skin becomes saggy and dull.
On the other hand, UVB rays cause immediate damage to the superficial layers of the skin, leading to sunburn and contributing to the formation of hyperpigmentation.
Therefore, the short-term effects of exposure to ultraviolet radiation are:
sunburn, which manifests as redness of the skin, often accompanied by pain, appearing a few hours after sun exposure;
tanning, which is a sign of skin damage and occurs when the skin produces more melanin (the natural pigment of the skin) than normal;
hyperpigmentation spots, which can appear on the face, hands, and shoulders or other frequently sun-exposed areas and can affect people of all ages, though they are more common in those with fair skin.
When skin is exposed to UV rays, specialized cells called melanocytes release more melanin to protect the skin from sun damage, which can lead to various skin problems.
Regarding the long-term effects of exposure to ultraviolet radiation, these are:
cellular DNA degradation – exposure to ultraviolet radiation leads to the formation of free radicals and oxidative stress, responsible for skin cell damage;
skin cancer – melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma are the most common types of skin cancer, with ultraviolet radiation being one of the factors that significantly contribute to the development of these conditions.
Excessive and unprotected exposure to ultraviolet radiation causes 90% of the signs of premature skin aging, also being a risk factor for skin cancer. Therefore, sunscreen should not be missing from the daily skincare routine, especially during summer. It is important to choose a sunscreen product with broad-spectrum coverage and an SPF of at least 30.
Benefits of Sunlight Mat Tinted Dry Touch cream for the skin
It is a recommended product before sun exposure to protect the skin from sunburn and premature aging.
The main benefits of Sunlight Mat Tinted Dry Touch Fluid SPF50+ cream for the skin are:
prevents premature aging;
prevents the appearance of hyperpigmentation;
offers a mattifying effect;
evens out skin tone.
The new Ivatherm cream, with a light, water-resistant texture, contains ingredients that protect and hydrate the skin. In addition, thanks to the tinted pigment it contains, Sunlight Mat Tinted Dry Touch Fluid SPF50+ is a cream that, in addition to sun protection, also provides a natural look by evening out skin tone without burdening the complexion.
Sunlight Mat Tinted Dry Touch Fluid SPF50+ contains sun filters, which provide very high photoprotection against the harmful action of UVA and UVB radiation and prevent premature aging, vitamin E, which is a powerful antioxidant that protects the skin against damage caused by the sun's rays, glycerin, an ingredient with strong moisturizing properties that attracts and retains water in the dermis, leaving the skin smooth, and Herculane thermal water, which has scientifically proven calming and anti-irritant properties, being rich in minerals and trace elements.
Tips for protecting skin against ultraviolet radiation
The most important step in protecting skin against ultraviolet radiation is the regular use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. This should be applied at least 30 minutes before sun exposure, including on cloudy days, and reapplied approximately every two hours.
Also, on hot days, it is good to limit time spent in direct sunlight and avoid exposure to ultraviolet radiation during peak hours, specifically 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM, when the sun's rays are strongest.
Clothing can help protect our skin from ultraviolet radiation. It is good to wear loose-fitting clothing made of natural fabrics (cotton, linen), wide-brimmed hats, and sunglasses.
Hydration also plays an important role in maintaining healthy skin during summer. It is recommended to drink at least two liters of water and avoid beverages that can dehydrate the skin (coffee, alcoholic beverages) to nourish the skin from the inside out.
Additionally, using light-textured moisturizers helps us provide the skin with the hydration it needs to maintain its elasticity and resilience for as long as possible.
The higher the UV index, the greater the risk of skin damage, so it is advisable to check the intensity of ultraviolet radiation in your area and plan outdoor activities accordingly.
Although the effects of sun exposure may only be visible in adulthood, skin protection against the sun should begin as early as possible. The process of skin damage due to the sun begins during childhood and adolescence, even if the signs only become evident later.
To have a natural, youthful, and healthy appearance, it is essential to protect the skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation through consistent sun protection measures. By adopting healthy habits, such as applying sunscreen, avoiding sun exposure during peak hours, and choosing appropriate clothing, we can protect our skin from the damaging impact of UV rays.
