Sunscreen is very often an indispensable ally in protecting the skin from ultraviolet radiation. It is available in various forms, such as lotions, sprays and gels, to suit all skin types and needs. Applying sun cream regularly reduces the likelihood of sunburn and helps to protect the skin from the negative effects of excessive sun exposure.

Types of sun cream

Sun creams come in a variety of formulations. Some use physical protection in the form of a mineral filter to deflect the sun’s rays away from the skin. Others use chemical filters that allow only UV rays that affect the body to pass through, converting them into harmless rays. Mineral filters are generally suitable for sensitive skin, whilst most chemical filters are typically easier to apply and leave less residue.

It is equally important to pay attention to the sun protection factor (SPF). This helps to determine how long the skin is protected from the sun’s ultraviolet B (UVB) rays. Sunscreens have SPF ratings ranging from 15 to over 50. This means that the higher the SPF rating, the more protection it offers, and it is particularly recommended for people with fair skin or those who are exposed to a lot of sun.

Types of sun cream

Ultimately, in addition to the usual sun cream in the form of lotions or creams, there are also sun capsules or powder supplements that are applied topically. These products are designed to improve skin protection from a broader perspective. They should therefore be used in the best possible way, as these products are not a substitute for sun cream.

Sunscreen spray is becoming increasingly popular because it is more practical and does not take as long to absorb into the skin as conventional sun creams. This type of sun protection is ideal when you are in a hurry or engaging in outdoor activities, such as sport.

How and when to use the product, and some tips and tricks

Sunscreen should be applied generously and evenly to all exposed areas of skin at least 15–30 minutes before sun exposure, if possible. Sunscreen should be reapplied every two hours, or sooner if you get wet from swimming or heavy sweating. It is recommended that you use it even on cloudy days, as up to 80 per cent of UV rays can penetrate the clouds.

Sunscreen products are also available with a range of chemical and physical UV filter options, which is precisely why you need to be careful when buying sunscreen. Most products are water-resistant, making them ideal for trips to the beach or sporting activities. Furthermore, a sun cream must provide sufficient protection against both UVA and UVB rays to protect the skin as effectively as possible.
