Skin Care Tips for Healthy Skin by Eucerin

“Sun Protection”

UV exposure may damage our skin´s natural barrier and cause diseases. Learn how to minimize the dangers by following some helpful advises:

Avoid the intense midday sun, which is usually from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m, although this depends on your location, as even sun protection products with high Sun Protection Factors (SPFs) do not offer 100% protection.
Apply sunscreen before sun exposure and reapply after 2 hours, if necessary even more often especially when bathing or swimming.
Re-apply sunscreen frequently to maintain an adequate level of protection, especially after sweating, swimming or toweling.
Do not expose babies and small children to direct sunlight. Avoid sunburn at all cost! Keep children well covered, including a sun hat, t-shirt and sunglasses.
After a chemical peel, laser therapy, or in the case of drug-induced photosensitivity, use a very high Sun Protection Factor (SPF 50+).
