How to choose the right type of sunscreen

Everyone will surely find a pleasant sunscreen and therefore its non-use cannot be justified.

There are many things that affect the choice of sunscreen and sun protection factor. The most important thing is to consider your own skin type and choose protection accordingly.

Experts recommend the use of products that protect against both UVA and UVB rays with a protection factor of 30 or more. A lower protection factor is less effective and the protection is insufficient.

Also, consider your own lifestyle when choosing sunscreen: whether you spend the summer playing on the padel, playing with your dog or gardening at the cottage.

Also, consider in advance whether you have a light gel product, a fast-absorbing sunscreen foam, or an easy spray product. Alternatively, the search may include a fuller, more moisturizing cream, a water-resistant product, or a make-up-compatible sunscreen.

The most important thing is to choose the one that best suits your needs. When the product is pleasant to use and fits your lifestyle, you will remember to apply it to your skin every single summer day!

It is always advisable to choose a high protection factor for sensitive skin. But even those who tan easily and rarely burn need to wear daily sunscreen. This prevents the skin from burning and protects your complexion from the sun’s aging and damaging effects. In addition, there are their own special products for sensitive skin, sun allergies and children.

REMEMBER

Also, keep these things in mind when protecting yourself from the sun:

–Avoid sun exposure during the busiest hours from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

-Sun protection should be applied to the skin in advance, before sun exposure.

–Use enough sunscreen: at least two tablespoons for the whole body.

–Sun protection must be added every two hours and after sweating and bathing.

–Clothes, hats and sunglasses provide effective protection from the sun.

“Sunscreen does not prevent tanning, but protects the skin from damage.

–The sunscreen product must also be used in cloudy weather.
