Preparing skin for the sun and sun protection – Why?
When exposed to sunlight, our skin produces vitamin D3, which plays a role in various bodily functions. Our mood improves with the first rays of sunshine, as our endorphins also overflow. Nevertheless, the sun, especially UV radiation, can have effects on the skin that are worth considering.
UV radiation can stress the skin and also influence skin aging . The skin has mechanisms to adapt to external influences. Consciously managing sun exposure and appropriate care can help your skin feel good and look radiant.
How can you prepare for the sun?
To prepare your skin for the sun, these tips can help you:
- Get your skin used to the sun gradually !
- Eat mindfully now. Vitamin E and vitamin C protect your skin from oxidative stress.
- Moisturize your skin.
- Don't forget to use sunscreen .
When preparing your skin for the sun, you should also follow these two tips:
Never expose yourself to the sun for too long – especially not unprotected! Light skin types and children only have a few minutes of natural protection. Afterward, be sure to apply sunscreen.
Avoid the midday sun ! UV radiation is strongest at this time.
What does optimal sun protection look like?
The most important factor in protecting your skin from UV radiation is sunscreen. It should definitely have a few important properties:
- Suitable skin type: A sunscreen should be suitable for your skin type. Dry skin needs moisturizing formulations, while oily, blemished skin needs non-comedogenic, lightweight textures. When choosing a sunscreen, make sure it's suitable for your skin type.
- Ingredients: Only use sunscreens that don't contain any harmful ingredients. Ideally, your sunscreen should contain nourishing substances like antioxidants, vitamins, or active ingredients that also care for your skin.

Why is thorough cleansing so important for sun protection?
Few people think about thoroughly cleansing their skin before going out into the sun, but this is extremely important. UV radiation can cause tiny dirt particles from dust or exhaust fumes trapped in the pores to become embedded in the skin. This can further promote dark spots.
So before sunbathing, cleanse your skin of dirt, oil, makeup residue, and other environmental pollutants that can clog your pores.
It is best to use the MILD CLEANSING FOAM for sensitive, dry, mature and combination skin or the DEEP CLEANSING FOAM for oily, impure, mature and combination skin from SKINUANCE®.
Both cleanse gently and carefully, providing the skin with skin-identical active ingredient combinations tailored to your skin type during cleansing . Clean skin also absorbs sunscreen better.
