Face sunscreen – the must-have for young and healthy skin
The ultimate anti-aging secret is face sunscreen. It not only protects the skin against skin cancer, but also against premature skin aging, both of which are promoted by UV radiation. There are many different sunscreen formulations and textures, so that everyone can find the right product for their skin type.
Why face sunscreen is so important
UV radiation is responsible for up to 80 % of premature skin aging. This not only means that wrinkles form more quickly, but also that pigmentation spots appear, the skin dries out and loses elasticity. However, UV radiation can also worsen other skin problems such as spots and pimples.
UV radiation can be divided into UVA and UVB radiation. UVB radiation is what makes you get a tan, although this is a protective reaction of the body in itself, and excessive radiation causes sunburn. UVA radiation is responsible for skin aging, penetrates deeper into the skin and damages the cells there. Both types of radiation can lead to skin cancer in the long term, which is why face sunscreen should have an SPF of at least 30 (UVB protection) as well as UVA protection.
Fluid, stick or tinted SPF – the different types of sunscreen
First of all, when it comes to sunscreen for the face or body, a distinction is made between chemical and mineral filters. Both filter types absorb UV radiation and convert it into heat, though mineral filters also reflect a small part of the radiation. Mineral filters can be more tolerable for very sensitive skin, but often cause a white haze to appear on the skin. In addition to the filter types, there are also different textures. Here is a brief overview:
- Sun fluid: a fluid is usually more suitable for oily skin as it is more fluid than a cream, is absorbed quickly and feels particularly light on the skin.
- SPF stick: an SPF stick is ideal when traveling or on the go as it does not spill. It is also easy to reapply, even over make-up.
- Tinted SPF: the tinted sun protection variant for the face not only protects the skin, but also evens out discoloration and blemishes with a light tint – resulting in a glowy complexion.
- Perfume-free sun protection: this variant is particularly suitable for sensitive skin, as it can sometimes react to fragrances.
- Serum sun protection: sun protection in serum form provides the skin with skincare ingredients such as antioxidants, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid and aloe vera in addition to the SPF.
