Why is sun protection important?

When we talk about protecting the skin from the sun, “Sunscreen”  – is what for all of us “summer lovers” indicates that summer has arrived.

At this point, I think that together with our team, we have been clear about the consequences of sun exposure, UV rays and their effects, so we want to share our advice regarding the use of sun protection in a concise manner. Short, precise and without errors:

  • SPF every day;
  • SPF for everyone;
  • Spf even when the weather is gray.

Even shorter? Sun protection should be part of your skincare routine 365 days a year! o

The importance of sun protection and our recommendations.

The truth is that when summer comes and we inevitably spend more time outside, protecting our skin from the sun becomes even more important. Not just because we can get sunburned, but above all because of the negative effects that harmful sun rays have on us, ranging from dryness, premature aging, damage to the body’s protective barrier, to more serious problems such as burns, infections and even the appearance of skin diseases such as melanoma (skin cancer).

 How to choose the right sun protection product

With such a wide range of products, choosing the right sunscreen is key to maintaining the health of our skin, thus preventing damage from UV rays. At the end of this article, together we will be able to choose the most suitable sunscreen for our skin type, age and lifestyle.

Sunscreens are necessary for everyone, but it is important to choose one that is formulated according to the needs of our skin. For example, in the case of sensitive skin, as 70% of the population has, the first advice is to choose a cream with a high protection factor. But we must also look at the formulation, because for this type of skin we need a sunscreen for sensitive skin, specially formulated to protect you, but also to relieve irritation.

If you have a very busy life and want a multifunctional sun protection solution for your face, a tinted sunscreen that nourishes your skin, protects you from the sun, and can also be used as a foundation is the right choice for you.

Last but not least is the parents’ choice of sun protection for their children. We all become more sensitive as children, so we definitely make sure to choose formulations that not only offer protection from the sun’s harmful rays, water-resistant products, but also delicate, nourishing formulations without unnecessary elements for the fragile skin of little ones.

And so, only if you search in the sun protection section will you find the right product for you, whether it’s water-resistant sunscreen, sunscreen for oily skin, sunscreen for acne-prone skin, or even packaging that simplifies application, such as spray-on sunscreen lotions or even sun oils.

Tips for proper application of sunscreen; When and how often you should apply it.

What is the right amount of sunscreen that everyone is talking about? We think of it this way, to cover the entire face we will need to apply the cream along two fingers of the hand and apply it homogeneously on the face, neck, and don’t forget the décolleté and behind the ears! When we are at the beach we will apply cream, lotion, or even oil to the entire body, without forgetting areas like elbows or legs!

Depending on the time of year, or the conditions we are in, we will see when it is the right time to reapply sunscreen. It is best to reapply it every two hours, but we can also reapply it a little less often if we are dressed, or we work in an office, and we are away from windows. Of course, sun protection is very important, but let’s be flexible.

To summarize

The truth is that sunscreen is neither a decoration nor a vanity item. Choosing a sunscreen is an important decision that each of us makes for the health and appearance of our skin. With the wide range of products available at ditenate.al, it is important to look for the one that is most suitable for you and your specific needs.
