How to prepare your skin for the sun naturally?

The beautiful days are coming and with them, the sun which gives us many benefits: it helps balance our circadian cycle (sleep cycle) and leads to the synthesis of vitamin D, which has a major impact on our good mood and our bone remineralization.

The sun also causes the production of dopamine, serotonin and endorphins and helps to better assimilate magnesium, which has the effect of reducing stress and anxiety.

But, we also know that too much exposure to the sun, without being prepared for it, can be very harmful for our skin. This is the number one cause of premature skin aging. And aside from "cosmetic" damage, repeated sunburn and unprotected exposure can increase the risk of several forms of skin cancer.

Here are some tips to prepare your skin for the sun naturally:
