Zonnebrand: de enige anti-rimpelcrème die werkt
Summer is coming and that means we are all preparing for long days at the beach, in the park or on the terrace. While we enjoy the sun, it is important to protect our skin from harmful UV rays. Sunscreen cream is not only essential for preventing sunburn, it is also the tool of choice to combat skin ageing. It is not only in summer that it is important to protect our skin; all year round, your skin can use this protection and ensure radiant skin.
The process of skin ageing
Skin ageing is a natural process caused by the breakdown of collagen and elastin in our skin. These proteins are responsible for maintaining the firmness and elasticity of our skin. When we are exposed to UV radiation, the breakdown of collagen and elastin is accelerated. This results in (laughter) wrinkles, fine lines and dull skin. This is not a bad thing at all, as wrinkles are a sign of a beautiful life as far as we are concerned, but using sunscreen is an effective way to slow down the breakdown of collagen and elastin. Using sunscreen regularly protects our skin from UV rays. This not only prevents sunburn, but also the damage UV radiation can do to our skin cells.
UV radiation is one of the main causes of (premature) skin ageing. When our skin is exposed to UV radiation, damage occurs in the form of free radicals. These free radicals can damage skin cells and lead to signs of skin ageing.

Celebrate your wrinkles
Using sunscreen can help prevent this damage. Sunscreen protects the skin from UV radiation through a UV filter, thus preventing free radicals from forming. This allows the skin to stay healthy and look younger for longer. Our sunscreen contains a mineral UV filter. A mineral UV filter is a type of sunscreen that provides its protection through natural minerals, such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. You can read more about these minerals in this blog.
In addition, sunscreen can also help prevent hyperpigmentation such as dark spots and age spots. These spots often appear as a result of exposure to UV radiation. Existing wrinkles and spots cannot disappear, this is not necessary as they are a wonderful way to show how much you have enjoyed your life. Celebrate your wrinkles! They do sometimes become less visible. Should you still want to avoid them (honest: we get that), sunscreen with an SPF really helps if you include it in your routine.

Sunscreen when there is no sun?
Many people think that sunscreen is only needed on sunny days or while sunbathing on the beach, but nothing could be further from the truth. The sun rays responsible for skin damage and skin ageing are present all year round, even on cloudy days. This is because UV rays can penetrate clouds and reach our skin. It is therefore important to protect your skin daily with a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. A fun fact: it is best to apply your moisturiser first, let it soak in for a while and only then apply your sunscreen. This is often done the other way round, but this is the best way in your routine, according to skin expert and research doctor Dr Jetske Ultee.
