A summer of contrasts: The battle to protect your skin starts now

Summer 2024 was a long time coming, but when it did, it hit hard, very hard. The first days of July brought gloomy weather, endless rain, leaving sun lovers anxiously awaiting more clement days. Then, suddenly, just as many thought summer had missed its entrance, the heat arrived, brutal and overwhelming. A phenomenon not unlike that of 2003, that infamous heatwave that left an indelible mark on Europe's meteorological history. The media did not fail to sound the alarm: "Temperatures are still rising, and the worst may still be to come," recently headlined Le Monde, while weather bulletins are in a frenzy over the UV index reaching unprecedented highs in decades.

In this context, a question arises: are we ready to face an extended summer? Crowded beaches, outdoor picnics, lunches on the terrace... All these summer pleasures are not without risks for our skin. It's time to be vigilant, and to reiterate that sun protection is not simply about applying cream. Our cells need an invisible but essential support: antioxidants.

The silent war of antioxidants: The invisible allies of your skin

The crucial role of antioxidants under a blazing sun.

The skin, an organ that we often forget to pamper, is on the front line against the onslaught of UV rays. If sunscreen acts as a physical shield, antioxidants go into the skin to wage a silent but crucial battle against free radicals. These molecules, generated en masse under the effect of UV rays, are responsible for many cellular damages, ranging from premature aging to more serious lesions that can lead to cancer.

Vitamin E stands out among antioxidants for its proven effectiveness in skin protection. According to a study conducted by the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, Vitamin E significantly reduces cellular damage caused by UV rays by neutralizing free radicals before they damage cells.SpringerLinkAs explained by Dr. Jean-Marc Dupont, a dermatologist at Saint-Louis Hospital in Paris: "Vitamin E is a major asset in strengthening skin resistance against external aggressions, particularly during periods of high sun exposure."

On the other hand, gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), which is found in vegetable oils like borage and evening primrose, plays a complementary role. It is recognized for its anti-inflammatory properties and its reparative effect on the skin. A study published in the journal Biomolecules has shown that GLA reduces UV-induced skin inflammation and helps repair damaged DNA​)MDPIThese results have been confirmed by Professor Marguerite Lacoste, a specialist in biochemistry, who notes: "GLA is essential for maintaining healthy and supple skin, especially after prolonged exposure to the sun."

Heat waves and their invisible impacts: Testimonies and realities

When the heatwave becomes a formidable enemy.

The last few months have brought their share of startling testimonies. A recent study relayed by France Info revealed that the increase in sun exposure, particularly during heat waves like the ones we are currently experiencing, has led to an increase in cases of skin dehydration and severe sunburns. According to a testimony from a French tourist in Nice: "I have always taken care to put on sunscreen, but this year, after a few hours at the beach, my skin literally burned. You can feel that the sun has become more aggressive."

These anecdotes, which multiply across newspapers and social media, are not to be taken lightly. They reflect a reality: the current climatic conditions require increased protection, not only on the surface, but also in depth.
