What SPF sunscreen do I need?

A Sun Protection Factor (SPF) extends the time it takes for the skin to burn by a certain factor. For example, a person who gets sunburnt after 30 minutes of sun exposure without sunscreen would not get sunburnt for 300 minutes using a sunscreen in high enough amounts with a sun protection factor of 30. However, it is best to only stay in the sun for up to 60% of this time, and remember that skin damage can occur even before sunburn is visible.

Why does sensitive skin need special suncare?

Given its weakened protective barrier, sensitive skin is more vulnerable to irritants. It is therefore important that sun protection is specifically formulated for, and tested on, sensitive skin and that its properties answer the particular needs of the condition.

Is Eucerin Sun Creme Tinted SPF 50+ CC Creme Medium suitable for young children?

Eucerin Sun Creme Tinted SPF 50+ CC Creme Medium was specifically developed for adult skin. For children over 3 month old try Eucerin Kids Sun Lotion SPF 50+, Eucerin Kids Sun Spray SPF 50+ or if you prefer mineral filter try Eucerin Kids Micropigment Sun Lotion SPF 30.

What is the difference between Eucerin Sun Creme Tinted CC Medium SPF 50+ and Eucerin Sun Creme SPF 50+?

While both these sunscreens are SPF 50+ and offer a very high level of sun protection, Eucerin Sun Creme Tinted CC Medium SPF 50+ contains colour pigments for an even natural tanned looking skin tone, and also allows you cover up pigment spots or skin imperfections. It has a light texture suitable for all skin types. Eucerin Sun Creme SPF 50+ is suitable for sensitive, dry skin, even for atopic dermatitis.

What is the difference between mineral and chemical UVA/UVB filters, and which one should I use?

Chemical filters absorb UV rays and transform UV rays into harmless innocuous warmth, whereas mineral filters remain on the surface of the skin and reflect and scatter UV rays that reach the surface of the skin. While chemical filters are generally considered to be safe, the use of mineral filters is advisable in case of intolerance towards chemical filters or for sun protection for babies and toddlers, whose skin is highly sensitive.

What is the difference between UVA and UVB rays?

Long wave UVA (Ultraviolet A) rays emitted by the sun penetrate deeply into the skin and are the originating factor of oxidative stress in the skin. They play a greater role in long-term sun damage and are a major cause of skin ageing and skin cancer. In addition, UVA rays may trigger polymorphic light eruption (PLE), the so-called sun allergy. Short wave UVB (Ultraviolet B) rays, on the contrary, cause immediate visible damage to the skin, leading to what we usually refer to as sunburn. It penetrates the skin less deeply than UVA but is the main responsibility for cellular DNA damage.

How To Use

Instructions

Avoid contact with the eyes.
Avoid intensive midday sun and extensive sun exposure as even sunscreens with high SPFs do not offer a 100% protection.
Apply generously before sun exposure & reapply frequently, especially after swimming, toweling and sweating to maintain the original protection. Reducing the quantity will lower the level of protection significantly.
Do not stay too long in the sun, even while using a sunscreen product. Over-exposure to the sun is a serious health threat. Keep babies and young children out of direct sunlight.
Allow to absorb completely and avoid contact with textiles and hard surfaces to prevent staining.
