Even the wildest of minds can not imagine life without the sun. It keeps us warm, gives us light and enables plants to make food that all other animals including humans survive on. The sun has many more benefits to our health and day to day life. The sun is by far the most important source of energy for life on Earth.
All these benefits come at a cost. According to NASA the sun’s surface temperature is approximately 15 million degrees Celsius. The sun sends to us sunlight with ultraviolent rays which are harmful to our skin. There are two main types of ultraviolet rays that are responsible for damage to the skin including: UVB and UVA.
UVB rays damage our skin causing what we know as sunburn. UVA rays penetrate deeper into the skin compared to UVB. The deeper penetration causes premature ageing such as, wrinkle formation. This also promotes some forms of skin cancer.
In order to protect your skin from the negative effects of the sun, it is important to use sunscreen. BIODERMA’s solution: Photoderm is a full range of sun products for all types of skin and sensitivity to the sun.
The Photoderm range of products include sun protection products scientifically designed for:
- Oily to acne-prone skin.
- Sensitive skin.
- Children and babies.
- Dry skin or hyperpigmented skin.
- Prevention of skin reactions.
Applying Sunscreen:
Sunscreen should be applied Several times a day depending on how frequently you are exposed to the sun. On the face sunscreen should be applied as the last step of the skincare routine. Good news! Many of BIODERMA’s sunscreen products are a great makeup base. On the body, sun protection must be applied 20 minutes before exposure to the sun. It must systematically be renewed after swimming or sweating, and at the latest every two hours.
