Sun protection

Sun protection is a must

Good sun protection is not a luxury; it's a must. Fortunately, in recent years more and more attention has been paid to the importance of good sun protection. But what makes sun protection good? Is it just the SPF? Is it the natural and organic ingredients that make a good sunscreen? Or is there also a lot of difference between the different types of sun protection? There are many factors that influence the quality of a sunscreen.

The characteristics of good sun protection
How high should the SPF be?

Good protection against UV light from the sun depends on the right factor, this is also called “SPF”. Not everyone needs the same factor. The less pigment the skin contains, so the paler the skin, the higher the recommended factor, such as SPF 50. But it is also important to use sun protection with brown or dark skin. Even people who hardly burn at all need this. Sun protection does more than just prevent sunburn.

Is another facial sunscreen necessary?

Because the skin on the face is thinner, it contains less pigment than the rest of the body. This makes the skin on the face more vulnerable to the strong UV rays of the sun. In addition, a good sunscreen especially for the face is not greasy, which some products for the body can be.

SPF against skin aging

Harmful UV rays from the sun can cause premature skin aging. Use sun protection daily to keep your skin in a healthy condition and protected from the sun's harmful rays. Let those sun wrinkles, pigment spots and dull skin wait a little longer! Take even better care of your tanned skin after a day in the sun with a hydrating extra step: after sun.

No harmful substances in our sun protection

In our opinion, the best sun protection is as much natural sun protection as possible. MinkBC only has products without synthetic perfumes, parabens and mineral oils. This also makes this sun protection suitable for people with sensitive skin or allergies.

Use optimal sun protection
Also sunburn on cloudy days?

Unfortunately, in the Netherlands the sun does not shine 365 days a year. That does not mean that it is unnecessary to use sun protection every day. Even when it is cloudy outside, UV radiation is still present. These are naturally stronger on sunny days. In general, it is recommended to use SPF 15 on cloudy days or in winter and SPF 30 on sunny days or in summer.

How much sunscreen should I apply?

It is recommended to use approximately 1 to 2 teaspoons of sunscreen on the face and neck. For the best possible use, apply regularly. It is always important to reapply after showering, swimming or exercising.

Find the perfect sun protection for you
Does tanning oil protect against the sun?

The tanning oil does not contain a high protective factor. That is why we recommend that, in addition to the oil, you also use a sunscreen with a higher SPF such as factor 30 when sunbathing. Do you want a beautifully tanned complexion, but would you rather avoid harmful UV radiation? See if self-tanning products are something for you.

Sunscreen for sensitive skin

Do you suffer from an itchy rash, bumps or blisters caused by the sun? Many people's skin reacts hypersensitively to UV radiation from the sun or in response to use of a tanning bed. Read in this blog about sun allergy what you can do about it.
