SUN PROTECTION FOR FACE & SKIN: INCREDIBLE FOR A GLOWING, HEALTHY & REJUVENATED TEINT
.Sun protection for the face and skin is an absolute must in any effective skin care routine. Dermatologists consistently recommend it for all seasons for good reason. The harmful UVA and UVB rays are often underestimated - yet we are exposed to them all year round. They penetrate deep into the skin and damage collagen, which can lead to premature aging. In addition, your skin loses elasticity and wrinkles form. The self-protection against UVA and UVB radiation is unfortunately not sufficient, so a sunscreen for face and skin is essential.
Why the use of a sunscreen is also an absolute must and what you should look for when buying your care products, we tell you below.

SUN PROTECTION FOR FACE & SKIN: THE MOST IMPORTANT IN BRIEF
.Why is sun protection for face and skin so important?
UVA and UVB rays are responsible for numerous damages on your skin and contribute significantly to premature signs of aging such as wrinkles, age spots and decreasing firmness. Therefore, sun protection for your face and skin is essential.
Will I get a tan with sunscreen?
The thought of doing without sunscreen to get a tan faster may be tempting. But you do yourself and your skin no favor. An appropriate sunscreen protects you from sunburn and even contributes to the fact that the tan lasts longer.
Do I need to use sunscreen for face and skin daily?
In addition to premature aging, exposure to UVA and UVB rays can cause short- and long-term damage to your skin. To protect you from unwanted pigmentation and skin redness, daily use of a sunscreen for face and skin is necessary.
Do I need to apply sunscreen for face and skin even in winter?
To protect and care for your skin optimally, you should use a sunscreen daily. The harmful UVA and UVB rays affect your skin all year round, even in winter. Therefore, consistent sun protection for your face and skin is essential.
That's why SUN PROTECTION FOR FACE & SKIN IS SO ESSENTIAL
.Sun protection promotes anti-aging and effectively protects your skin from the harmful UVA and UVB rays we are exposed to every day. An adequate sunscreen covers your skin like an umbrella and reflects the dangerous rays. If your skin is exposed to intense sunlight over a long period of time without sunscreen, your skin's own protection is no longer sufficient and the unprotected skin allows the harmful UVA and UVB rays to pass through unhindered. As far as the correct use of sun protection is concerned, there are still many uncertainties and insecurities. Below you will find all the important information for the perfect sun protection for your face and skin.
SUN PROTECTION FOR DIFFERENT SKIN TYPES: TIPS & RECOMMENDATIONS
.Every skin has its own needs. UV sensitivity also depends on your skin type. To effectively care for your skin and protect it from harmful UVA and UVB rays, below you will find useful tips and specific recommendations for using proper sun protection.
Sun protection for normal skin
.Normal skin is often unproblematic, yet it needs nourishing and protective ingredients for a radiant complexion. So that your skin can continue to retain its glow, you should definitely use a sunscreen. Since normal skin is rather insensitive, you can usually choose freely between cream, fluid and spray for your sun protection.
Sun protection for rosacea
.The sensitive rosacea skin reacts to certain triggers that can promote a flare-up. UV radiation is one of them. If you suffer from rosacea, consistent sun protection for your face is essential. Use a sunscreen with SPF 50+ and a mineral filter. To avoid further skin irritation, your sunscreen should be oil-free and skin-friendly. A gentle sun fluid or sun gel is excellent.
Sun protection for blemishes
.Especially if you have acne or blemishes, many are unsure which sunscreen is suitable for them. Rich skin care products can clog pores and increase blemishes. Choose a sunscreen with a light texture, preferably in the form of a fluid or gel. Furthermore, you should make sure that the sunscreen does not contain comedogenic substances to avoid irritation on your skin.
Sun protection for mature skin
.To maintain youthful, smooth and healthy skin, daily use of sunscreen is a must. It counteracts wrinkles, fine lines, age spots and dry skin. Make sure your sunscreen is enriched with nourishing active ingredients and has a lightweight texture to absorb quickly into your skin - without leaving a residue.
Sun protection for melasma
.Daily sun protection is also essential for melasma. Harmful UVA and UVB rays increase melanin production, which can lead to pigmentation spots and an uneven complexion. Consistent sun protection can keep existing pigmentation spots from getting even darker and ensures an even complexion. For the best possible care of your skin, your sunscreen should contain a SPF 50+ and moisturizing ingredients.
Sun protection for men's skin
.Men's skin is about 20% thicker than women's skin and therefore less sensitive to begin with. The first signs of skin aging show on average later than in women, but are deeper and often more pronounced. Sun protection for men's skin is therefore also indispensable - and at the same time effective anti-aging care.
SUN PROTECTION & RETINOL: THAT IS TO BE CONSIDERED
.It's true that Retinol makes your skin more sensitive to light. Your skin loses its natural sun protection due to the slight peeling effect. But don't worry: with proper sun protection and care, you can use Retinol products during the day. To minimize the risk of sunburn, be sure to apply a sunscreen with a sun protection factor of 50+.
CARE PRODUCTS FOR OPTIMAL SUN PROTECTION
.Which products care for the skin and offer the optimal sun protection? Below you will find an overview of different care products for safe and caring sun protection.
Sunscreen
Sun creams have the highest fat content and are very rich. This allows the active substances to be bound better and offer you the best possible sun protection. Sun creams are particularly suitable for normal or dry skin.
Sun fluid
.A sun fluid usually contains less fat and more water. This is particularly noticeable in its texture. This sunscreen is more fluid and can be applied more easily. Sun fluids are excellent for sensitive skin.
Sun spray
.For quick and easy use, the simple application of sun sprays is perfect. When applying, make sure to spray the sunscreen close to your skin. If the distance is too great, some of the spray lotion may be lost. You may apply the sunscreen generously to ensure the best possible protection.
Make-up with SPF
.Make-up with SPF is in no way a substitute for adequate sun protection. The included sun protection factor in cosmetic products is usually not sufficient for long-lasting sun protection. For your makeup to protect you properly, it would have to be applied at least 7 times as thick as usual. Therefore, use an additional sunscreen to protect your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays. >
