Solar special, news for summer 2022 protection of rays and pollution - Lifestyle

Air quality and sunlight, the binomial is at the center of protecting the skin of adults and children for summer 2022. Not only on the beach but also and above all for those who live in cities where pollution and peak sunrays are foretold record temperatures.

This is the time of year when the skin ages the most and suddenly, as well as being more exposed to typical tumors 'alone' and the formation of superficial spots of various kinds.

The classic sun creams as we have known them until today, equipped with screens against ultraviolet rays of type b and A, are still indispensable but are no longer enough.

The counter-proof is provided by the same skin that from June onwards signals new discomforts, from dryness to exfoliation, from itching to uneven complexion up to the multiplication of wrinkles,

There is an increasing need for good habits (avoid being under the sun, drink a lot of water, consume more fruit and vegetables) and to use wide-spectrum protection screens and not only from UV rays, also complete with anti-smog ingredients, as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory substances, as well as more 'comfortable' to use, moisturizing the skin without greasing it anymore and giving relief during the hottest season of the year.

The change is appreciated by noting that the

included in beauty products will reach 870.4 million dollars by the end of 2022 and

. 

In 2021, the World Health Organization (WHO) updated its guidelines on air quality by providing global indications and limits on the main air pollutants that pose health risks, including particulates (PM2.5 and PM10) , ozone, nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2) and carbon monoxide.

Pollution, a preponderant element of the exposome (a sort of environmental genome, dictated by the sum of environmental aggressions on the organism, including the skin), is increasingly taken into consideration by researchers in the cosmetic industries and this is the month in which shopping 'anti-sun' is moving towards new options of evolved screens, with a targeted action not only against ultraviolet rays but also protectors of our 'environmental genome'.  

They range from protective filters with a high level of immediate sensory 'comfort', appreciable to the touch but also to hearing and sight, to anti-smog and anti-heat ingredients.

New, for example, are the sun products for children that crackle on the skin, the protective 'drops' to add to the moisturizing creams for the city, the ultra-transparent gels that definitively supplant the whitish creams and pastes, the velvety emulsions and the serums from 'dew effect'.

Furthermore, brand new online platforms and APPs that provide us with data on the quality of the environment (smog, temperatures, pollen and fires) in a 'skin exposure' key.

Finally, and finally, the turning point in the use of ingredients that do not damage the seabed, certified by third parties.

here are the main news for 2022

"Air pollutants generate reactive species that can cause oxidation and related destruction mechanisms in skin cells, proteins and lipid layers, - reads the focus dedicated to solar products 2022 just published in the peer reviewed scientific journal Cosmetic & Toiletries Science Applied.

The relationship between city pollutants (but also of many holiday resorts) and skin protection means that this year, worldwide, the anti-pollution ingredients included in beauty products will reach 870.4 million dollars by the end of 2022 and the world market for solar products will reach $ 787.0 million within the next 4 years.

Anti-pollutants and anti-UV rays therefore go hand in hand to try to reduce the damage that smog causes on the exposome, a term coined for the first time in 2005 by Christopher Paul Wild, director of the International Agency of Research on cancer, who he defined it "corresponding to the environmental genome, equal to the sum of all external exposures to which an individual is subjected from birth".

Six factors to consider specific for skin aging, attributable to the exposome: solar radiation, air pollution, tobacco smoke, nutrition, lack of sleep, stress and temperature.

For this summer the screens will have wider protection (sun rays and pollution), respectful of the environment and a high level of 'sensorial' comfort, even with original ideas that were not there before were.

Brand new

.

The first were presented at the latest Cosmoprof held at the Bologna fair and are produced by the Korean Kocostar.

For travel, for handbags, even to be used before make-up, they are small biodegradable, single-dose, heart-shaped capsules.

They contain a mixture of serum with a wide range of protection, with antioxidant and protective action from environmental aggressions, together with an oil that gives an immediate sensory effect because it keeps the skin moist for a

New

, such as those developed in the Miamo cosmeceutical laboratory (in Milan), called

.

Equipped with SPF 50+, they also counteract aging and skin spots.

Light texture and no 'patina' effect that instead can appear with the most classic sunscreens with a high level of protection, can be mixed with moisturizing serums for daily use all year round.

There are also pigments for a self-tanning effect as well as a protective one.

are also similar

solar panels aim at triple protection

, by the Italian Bionike: of UVA-UVB rays, free radicals generated by environmental IR rays and long-term biological damage.

The products also guarantee greater protection of the marine environment thanks to environmentally friendly formulas (tested on 3 species representative of the marine biodiversity of the Mediterranean Sea, phytoplankton and zooplankton) and recycled packaging.

brand inaugurates the concept of active reinforcement 'biological protection' (stimulated with a patented system), to be combined with passive protection with filters.

with the new Sun Active Defense line for sensitive skin, with very high and reinforced protection against UVA rays and against blue light.

The brand embraces the principles of eco-biology: "Instead of overloading the skin, multiplying the number of filters used, we aim to reinforce the skin's cellular self-defense system to compensate for the biological impact deriving from exposure to UV rays" explain the formulators .

“Among the natural defense systems there is also the tan that should not be demonized” say the biologists of the Institute Esthederm Bioderma in Paris.

also follows the trend of solar protection in a biological key

(purchased by the giant L'Oreal) aims to rebuild the natural protective skin barrier for creams to be used in the sunniest season of the year.

The new SPF50 Moisturizing Face Cream, in addition to the high UV A and B filters, rebuilds the natural protection that covers the skin ensuring a very comfortable moisturizing effect all day long thanks to the content of ceramides, niacinamide, vitamin E and hyaluronic acid.

which, while protecting from UVA, UVB, IR and blue light rays with an enhanced technology that allows the use of a lower concentration of screens and greater tolerability, aim to defend the skin from environmental damage and counteract oxidation caused by free radicals.

The line respects the marine ecosystem, with EcoSun pass certification.

The exposome has therefore been at the center of the attention of cosmetic brands and researchers for several years.

There is no shortage of projects dedicated to APPs and platforms that can tell us how much we are exposed at a precise moment so that we can run for cover.

While the giant L'Oreal has signed a partnership with an Israeli tech company, the company Breezometer, leader in the study of air quality, pollen and fires, to finance a research project dedicated to the direct relationship between pollution, exposure and skin aging and the creation of an application capable of sending us specific environmental 'alerts' via the smartphone.

workshops

have started the study of the exposome and currently finance numerous research projects on the subject, reports the editor of Cosmetic and Toiletries science applied.

In 2019, the Japanese multinational

also launched 'Optune' for the Japanese market, a connection system (by subscription, in agreement with Apple) with mobile phones capable of reporting skin needs in real time considering climate change ( temperature, humidity, etc.), along with data on mood, menstrual cycle and sleep.
