Did you know that accumulated sun exposure is one of the main factors of premature aging and skin cancer?? Therefore, protection from the sun is not a luxury, it's a necessity.
Why is sun protection so important??
The sun emits types of ultraviolet radiation that directly affect the skin.: UVA rays and UVB rays. The former accelerate skin aging, while the latter are responsible for burns. Dermatologists recommend its application during 365 days of the year, even on cloudy or winter days, since UV radiation passes through clouds.
Main benefits of using sun protection daily
🛡️Skin cancer prevention: significantly reduces the risk of melanoma and skin carcinomas
🕒Aging challenges: stops the appearance of wrinkles, stains and loss of firmness
💧Hydration and skin tightening: many modern formulas combine photoprotection and intense hydration
☀️Stain control: prevents hyperpigmentation and spots due to accumulated sun exposure
What protection factor do I need?
The sun protection factor (SPF) indicates how much longer you can expose yourself to the sun without getting burned compared to without protection. For daily use in the city, an SPF 30 is appropriate; in direct exposure, beach or outdoor sport, SPF recommended 50 the superior. For sensitive skin, atopic or children, always SPF 50+

Its catalog includes products with different protection indices—SPF 30 and SPF 50+—in lotion and spray formats, ideal for both everyday use and intense exposure in summer
Tips for correctly applying sunscreen
- Apply it 20-30 minutes before from sun exposure so that the skin absorbs it correctly.
- Covers all exposed areas: cara, neck, neckline, ears, back of hands and feet.
- Renew the application every two hours and always after bathing or sweating.
- Don't forget the after sun at the end of the day: helps calm, hydrate and regenerate the skin after exposure.
- Also use it on cloudy days: until the 80% of UV radiation penetrates through clouds.
The importance of sun protection goes far beyond avoiding a sunburn in the summer.. It is a health habit that takes care of your skin in the long term, prevent serious diseases and delay the passage of time on your face.
