The best sun protection for your skin

Summer is upon us, and with it the warm, sunny days when a good sunscreen is indispensable. But which sun protection suits your skin? In this blog, we would like to give you a hand with choosing a good sun protection.

Why is sun protection so important?

Sun protection is essential to protect your skin from harmful UV rays, which can cause not only sunburn but also premature skin ageing and skin cancer. Using a good sunscreen daily will keep your skin healthy and radiant.

The best sun protection for your body

For the best sun protection for your body, a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 is essential. Choose a water-resistant formula if you swim or sweat and apply generously to all exposed skin. Repeat every two hours for optimal protection. Lotion, spray or gel? That depends on your preference, as long as you use enough product. In addition, wear light, UV-resistant clothing and seek shade during the sun's brightest hours. This is how you protect your skin from sunburn, premature ageing and harmful UV rays.

Sun protection during sports

Sun protection during sports is crucial to prevent skin damage and sunburn. Choose a water- and sweat-resistant sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and broad-spectrum protection. Use a light, non-greasy formula that absorbs quickly and does not clog pores. Apply sunscreen generously before exercising and repeat every two hours, or more often in case of heavy sweating. In addition, wear UV-resistant sportswear, a cap and sunglasses for extra protection. Avoid intense outdoor activities during the brightest hours of the sun and seek shade if possible. This will keep you protected while you are active.

Sunscreen for children

Sun protection for children requires a gentle, effective approach to protect their sensitive skin from harmful UV rays. Choose a sunscreen with at least SPF 50 and broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays. Mineral filters such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are often the best choice as they are gentle on the skin and less likely to cause irritation. Use a water-resistant formula and apply generously, at least 20 minutes before sun exposure. Repeat application every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating. It is also important to have children wear UV-resistant clothing, a hat and sunglasses and avoid direct sunlight in the hottest part of the day as much as possible.

Indispensable in your summer routine

Regardless of your skin type, remember to reapply your sunscreen every two hours for the best protection. Enjoy the sun responsibly with the best sunscreen for your skin!
