Skin care products promising a natural glow are increasingly popular in Belgium, but how safe are they really? On 2025-06-01 12:10:00, experts warned that many of these hydrating products contain ingredients like beta-carotene, which can give your skin an orange or tanned tint. However, this effect is temporary and does not protect against sun damage.
- Hydrating products create an even glow
- Beta-carotene causes temporary orange tint
- Products lack UV protection, risk damage
- Tanned skin indicates underlying skin damage
- Some ingredients banned for cancer risk
- Products encourage unsafe sun exposure behaviors
Dermatologists stress that a tanned appearance is actually a sign of skin damage rather than health. Without proper UV protection, these products may pose more risks than benefits. So, should Belgians rely on these glow-enhancing creams for their summer skin routine?
Before you reach for that tinted moisturizer, consider what specialists say about the hidden dangers and how to protect your skin effectively.
Why do these products give your skin a glow, and is it truly safe? While beta-carotene in these creams hydrates and evens skin tone, it merely creates a superficial tint. Key points to consider:
- A tanned look signals your skin’s defense against UV damage, not good health.
- These products lack UV filters, so they don’t prevent sunburn or skin cancer.
- Some ingredients are banned in the EU for increasing cancer risk.
- Using them without sunscreen may encourage longer sun exposure, raising harm.
As summer approaches, it’s vital to prioritize proper sun protection alongside any skin care routine. Will you choose safe, effective products or risk your skin’s health for a quick glow? Stay informed and protect your skin wisely.
