All about the sun

The sun is important for our health, but its UV rays can also be harmful. Sun protection is therefore essential to protect the skin from sunburn, skin ageing and skin cancer. We'll show you some products that you can use to enjoy the sun without worrying.

What types of sun protection are there?

• Creams and lotions: These are the most popular and offer a high level of protection. 
• Sprays: Practical for hard-to-reach areas. 
• Sticks: Ideal for lips and sensitive areas. 
• Cushion: Another form of sun protection, practical for travelling.

Correct use of sun protection

Before sunbathing:

• Apply cream generously, at least 20 minutes before sunbathing.
• Also remember sensitive areas such as ears, nose and lips.
• Use enough sun cream: About 30 millilitres for the body.

During sunbathing:

• Reapply after swimming and sweating.
• Apply sun cream regularly, about every two hours.
• In the shade: Sun protection is also important here, as UV radiation is reflected.

After sun

Sun protection is important, but so is the right after-sun care. This is because the sun stresses the skin. After-sun products can soothe and cool the skin. They moisturise the skin and prevent redness and sunburn.
