Acorelle Sun Care
Those who need to bundle up before leaving the house for half of the year, are all the more looking forward to the warmer months. This applies particularly to the Northern and Central Europeans. While the inhabitants of the Mediterranean countries tend to avoid the increasing heat of the rising sun and only fill the streets with life in the evening, it is almost the opposite north of the Alps. As soon as the sun comes out, street cafes and beer gardens fill up. Towels are spread out for sunbathing at the lake or in the park - even if it is only during the lunch break. Especially in England, Holland and Germany every opportunity is used to warm up a little in the sun.
The enthusiasm of the Germans for the sun has its roots also in the life reform movement. With this generic term today the various alternative movements are referred to, which developed in the late 19th century. The individual groups focused on organic farming, vegetarianism, raw food, naturopathy, Oriental wisdom, nudism, gymnastics or yoga. But they all had one thing in common: the criticism of the status quo of the contemporary society. At the times of Emperor Wilhelm Germany was dominated by militarism, materialism and a rapidly progressive industrialization. With growing affluence also the consumption of meat, tobacco and especially alcohol increased. That’s why many reformers complained that the modern town persons would increasingly be sluggish and ailing. Instead of spending the free time after work in smoky taverns, they should rather exercise in the fresh air. This desire for a conscious and nature-loving lifestyle appealed to more and more people.
Today it is hard to imagine that in the early 20th century the voluntary renunciation of meat or alcohol was an act of rebellion. Abstinence and vegetarianism were ridiculed by the majority of the population. In contrast other ideas from the life reform movement fell on fertile ground. With a new body culture leading the way. Exercise was now no longer considered to be ungraceful. And also educated citizens now devoted themselves to the physical training - ideally in the sun. Because nobody had to be convinced of the positive effect of the sun on body and mind. Herman Hesse was known for undertaking climb tours in Ticino bar naked. In his text ”In the rocks. Notes of a child of nature“ the writer tells how the sun thereby burned his spoiled skin. Like many of his contemporaries Hesse was proud of his deeply tanned skin, with which he marked himself off from the sallow couch potatoes. Back then, one did not worry about sunburns. One rather viewed it as a sign that one hasn’t been in the sun for a longer time.
Today we love the warming sun as much as the people 100 years ago. But regarding the effect of the sunbeams, we are not that naive. Nobody doubts that any sunburn can permanently damage the skin. For this reason, you should not intentionally expose yourself to the direct sun. And for a short time while sunbathing only with adequate sun protection.
