Sunscreens

Sun protection for the body

Sunscreen is the most important factor that a beautiful day in the sun doesn’t end up turning into a nightmare. Sun protection for the body is available in all different kind of textures – the classic sun cream, lotions, oils, gels and water-sprays, but also sticks and sun protection roll-ons. 

Even though clothing protects the skin from some amount of sun, exposed parts of the body need to have a sufficient amount of sunscreen applied. Sunscreen should be used every day – when exploring cities or on a shopping trip, putting on sunscreen is often forgotten – the result is red shoulders or a red neck in the evening. Modern and high-quality sun screen is no longer sticky and uncomfortable to apply, so there is no longer any excuse not to wear sunscreen on a daily basis. Protecting the skin from sun damage has never been easier and more comfortable!

Correct application of sun protection for the body

It is not only important to use sunscreen, but also to apply it correctly, with an adequate amount. Using too little sunscreen drastically lowers the effect of sun protection products. A rule of thumb for sunscreen is to use about 3 tablespoons sun cream for an adult when it is applied to the whole body. After being in the water, sweating intensely or drying off with a towel, sunscreen needs to be reapplied. 

By the way, skin tans with SPF 50 as well – it does so slowly, but in a more long-lasting manner with less damage to the skin. As the tan develops more slowly, the risk of getting sunburnt is drastically reduced and damage to the skin minimized.
