Sanskrit for Beginners 7 uncomfortable questions

Sun protection and skincare go hand in hand. Just as your beauty closet is filled with all kinds of products, from creams to masks to scrubs, your sunscreen arsenal needs to be adapted to different situations, too. One product is not enough!

How do you update your sun protection throughout the day?

How often do you reapply sunscreen during a typical work day? Yes, that's right, during the day, not in the morning after your main routine - because you need to renew your sun protection every two hours. A face and body sunscreen stick is one of the easiest ways to maintain sun protection all day long when you're outdoors and actively moving around town. This compact stick fits in your pocket or purse, and it's easy to take with you wherever you go: it won't spill because of its hard-shell format.

Which foundation should I choose?

A sunscreen lotion with a lightweight texture that will serve as a reliable shield against harmful rays is a summer must-have. Spraying lotion all over your body should be part of your daily routine, even if it's raining or sunny outside: you've probably heard that UV rays hit your skin in cloudy weather, too.

But what if the day is hot and sunny?

Imagine it's bright sunshine outside at the height of summer. Watermelon is already sliced symmetrically, lemonade and lunchboxes of food are chilling in the fridge - ready for a picnic in the park! You know the sun takes a much stronger toll on your skin in this weather, and you think to yourself: "Will applying my usual lotion be enough?" Our answer is no. For such an occasion, you need a product with the highest SPF in your arsenal - at least SPF 50. An SPF 50+ sunscreen with broad-spectrum UV filters will protect your skin from 98% of harmful rays, and that's the kind of product you need to use during extended sun exposure.

Hate lotions?

If you can't stand the feel of a cream on your skin, opt for a dry spray: its texture is so light that you can barely feel it on your skin, and its SPF 50 protection is just as effective as a cream product. Funny plus: now you can easily do it yourself, and you don't have to ask someone to dab on your back. It can be hard to know if you've applied enough product. Just take your time rubbing the product into your skin, and make sure it has a nice, even, wet sheen to it after spraying. Don't skimp on the spray to create the right degree of protection.

What if your skin is prone to pigmentation?

If every sunny day leaves a mark on your skin, chances are your skin is prone to hyperpigmentation. A simple protective cream won't do the trick: Look for skin lightening creams with niacinamide, which prevents the appearance of new age spots and works on existing ones.

All the best for your kids?

Being a parent sometimes means living with the constant worry, "Are my kids happy, eating well, and protected from the sun?" Get rid of unnecessary worry and add a sunscreen designed specifically for children's skin to your collection. The mild composition will not damage the protective barrier of children's delicate skin, but ensures reliable protection. Children's skin is thinner and more sensitive than that of adults and easily burns. That is why SPF 50 is the minimum!

How to soothe the skin after being in the sun?

Moisturization is the key to healthy and well-groomed skin, and after a sunny day, your face and body especially need extra moisture. The sun can dry out your skin, making it more susceptible to the negative effects of UV rays and leading to oxidative stress. After-sun face and body jelly not only replenishes the water balance of the epidermis, but also delightfully soothes and cools the skin after a hot sunny day.
