Sun Protection

Protect your skin all year round with the right sun protection

Sun protection is an essential part of your skincare routine, all year round. Whether you are enjoying the summer sun on the beach, taking a city break or hitting the slopes on a winter ski trip, the sun can have damaging effects on your skin. UV rays are always present, even on cloudy days or in winter, and can lead to premature ageing, pigmentation spots and, in the worst case, skin cancer. That is why protecting your skin properly matters, whatever the season.

What does SPF actually mean?

SPF, or Sun Protection Factor, indicates how well a sun protection product shields your skin from UVB rays, which are responsible for sunburn. Here are the most common SPF values and what they mean:

• SPF 15: Offers basic protection and suits short spells in the sun, for example during everyday activities.
• SPF 30: Ideal for moderate sun intensity, such as a sunny spring day in northern Europe.
• SPF 50+: Offers the highest protection and is perfect for intense sunlight, such as on the beach or in the mountains.

Sun protection: not just for summer

Many people associate sun protection with warm summer days, but it is just as important in winter. On ski trips in particular, snow and ice reflect up to 80% of UV rays, exposing your skin even more. Always use a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 when heading into the mountains, and combine it with an SPF lip balm to protect your lips from dryness and burning.

More than protection alone

Alongside shielding you from harmful radiation, many sun care products offer added benefits. Moisturising creams with SPF nourish the skin, while tinted sunscreens give you a beautiful, even complexion. Many formulas also contain antioxidants that help fight free radicals and counteract skin ageing.
