The sun’s rays can be our body’s friends and enemies at the same time. The benefits of the sun are innumerable, but there are also risks to the skin if it is exposed without adequate protection.

We all love to relax and “sunbathe,” but very often we underestimate the level of protection needed to best expose ourselves to the sun. We should consider the risks of incorrect exposure: these range from simple burns to more serious consequences such as skin ageing, weakening of the immune system, photo-allergic reactions, sun spots and occasional eye infections.

The sun as a friend to body and soul

Despite the potential risks, controlled exposure to the sun has guaranteed benefits. The sun kills skin microbes, sanitizes tissue and promotes calcium metabolism. It also contributes to the production of vitamin D, a source of muscle strength.

Some scientific research has shown that solar rays also have a beneficial psychological impact. And in addition to transmitting happiness, strength and energy, the sun can be essential in supporting treatments for multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s.

The importance of protection for enjoying all the benefits of the sun

Protection should never be underestimated in maximising the benefits of the sun.
We know that prolonged exposure is not recommended, especially during the hottest hours of the day, when the intensity of UV rays is at its maximum.

In any event, exposure to the sun must be gradual. It is best to use high protection cream to begin with, applying it at least 15 minutes before exposure and then every two hours or so.

Certain innovative beauty treatments taken before exposure can help us enjoy the sun without anxiety. In the boutique and in the SPA at Hotel Tritone we offer the best exclusive and avant-garde products . For example, Farmogal 100%, an ecological and preservative-free fruit cream that is based on antioxidants, is the pioneer of innovation with regards to skin health. Antioxidants counteract premature ageing of the skin caused by the sun, and are strong allies in the fight against free radicals.

Chiara, one of our highly trained beauticians advises we use this cream as a base under sunscreen, in order to create a real protective barrier for the skin.

Innovative aesthetic treatments provide quick and relaxed remedies for sun damage.

It is advisable to take care of damage caused by incorrect exposure to the sun as soon as possible. The exclusive treatments offered by Hotel Tritone guarantee prompt and relaxing healing.

In the case of problems related to eye infections we offer specific treatment with Farmogal. This innovative treatment is based on echineacea, rusco, hamamelis and centella and has an immediate anti-inflammatory effect on infection by hydrating, deflating and reactivating the micro cycle of the affected area.

In the case of sun spots or skin aging, our SPA is specialized in the delicate Farmogal Chic aesthetic treatment. This treatment works for any type of skin marking (including hormonal). It consists of two sessions at our specialized centre followed by continuation of the treatment at home. During the treatment, our experts assure us, you can still expose yourself to the sun with the necessary protective measures.
