Preparing your skin for the sun

How can I prepare my skin for the sun? 

It's essential to take good care of your skin before, during and after exposure to the sun. The sun accelerates skin ageing and can even cause skin cancer. 

Apricot kernel oil is perfect for preparing skin for the sun. In fact, its composition of provitamin A, vitamin E, phytosterols and antioxidants makes it an essential oil to have in your beauty kit.

What are the benefits of its ingredients? 

Vitamin A is an antioxidant and a barrier against infection. Vitamin E helps fight free radicals (molecules that bind to other atoms and cause undesirable reactions). Phytosterols act as healers, antioxidants and anti-inflammatories, keeping our skin healthy. 

Why use it to prepare skin for the sun? 

Apricot kernel oil helps skin cells become less damaged and more tolerant to the sun. 

In fact, thanks to the carotenoids it contains, it prevents the signs of skin ageing linked to sun exposure.

Bonus? It can also be used after sun exposure! What's more, its discreet scent is not unpleasant, and the oil penetrates easily through the skin.

Please note, however, that apricot kernel oil is not a substitute for appropriate sun protection to protect the skin from UV rays.
