Paying Attention To Women’s Needs..
NUXE set out to develop uncompromising sun products that are effective, safe for the skin but also have luxurious textures and a beautiful scent.
Effects Of UVB
Effects Of UVA
UVA rays on the other hand penetrate the deeper layers of the skin and are responsible for photo-ageing which is premature ageing of the skin caused by overexposure to UV rays.
This leads to the formation of excess free radicals which damage the cell structure, collagen and elastin.
The skin can become thick, dry and yellowish and lacks elasticity. Wrinkles deepen and irregular pigmentation develops.
The damage caused by UV rays is different and is additional to that caused by chronological ageing. On skin exposed to the sun, 90% of the signs of ageing are attributable to the sun.
UVA rays are also associated to immediate pigmentation. This is rapid browning of the skin that appears minutes after sun exposure and lasts only a few hours. This tan is mainly due to oxidisation of pre-existing melanin’s in the skin, under the effect of UVA.
UVA rays are also responsible for polymorphous light eruption which is an allergic reaction which presents as spots and red patches on areas not used to the sun – arms, legs etc. It appears during initial exposure and may last a few days and gradually fades with tanning.
Protect Yourself From The Sun
In addition to these risks UVA and UVB may damage the DNA of cells, with an increased risk of developing skin cancer.
Two thirds of melanomas are caused by excessive UV exposure. It is therefore essential to protect yourself.
Nuxe have created a range of sun products that have highly effective formulas which are safe for the skin and ocean.
Nuxe have a patented filter system to achieve a high level of protection. There are 3 UV filters in Nuxe sun products which offer broad spectrum efficacy – protection against UVA and UVB rays.
The formulas are well tolerated on the skin, non-irritating and have minimal impact on the marine eco system. The formulas are water resistant and developed according to our clean beauty chart, and rated green on Yuka.
All Nuxe sun products come in eco-designed and recyclable packaging.
