Sunscreenis always handy to have at home. One uses it every day, and the other only when they go to the beach for wonderful days. Anyway, it's always something you can actually have at home. Although the sun is super healthy, baking in the sun is not very healthy. Why not? We want to tan, but the moment our body gets a tan, this is actually a natural signal from the body that we should get out of the sun. Ideal this 'natural sunburn', but getting a tint is what many want. So we want to be in the sun for a long time, and that's when we start using sunscreen. It is then important that we use a natural sunscreen that does not contain carcinogenic ingredients and other harmful substances, as many wildly popular sunscreens do. Today we tell you everything about sunburn, so that you arrive at your ideal sunburn and then in a well-informed way! :)
What is the best sun protection of 2021?
The best sun protection of 2021 depends entirely on the requirements you set for it. For us, the best sunscreen from 2021, 2022 to 2050 and beyond is the one that is completely safe, contains no (possible) harmful ingredients and has a high protection factor. We think it is important that you protect the skin against excessive sun exposure. This way you can enjoy the sun in a safe way. These are the top ones:
Attitude Mineral Sunscreen SPF30 Tropical, this all-natural sunscreen contains non-nano zinc oxide particles, and is a 100% mineral protection against UVA and UVB. The tropical scent is a natural scent, which is extracted from natural ingredients. So the smell is not harmful. It is EWG CERTIFIED, Top-rated on EWG Skin Deep® Cosmetics Database, hypoallergenic, dermatologically tested, ECOLOGO, PETA and ideal for sensitive skin!
For the ladies and gentlemen who can't stand a scent at all, there is also an odorless variant with the rest of the same ingredients.Attitude Mineral Sunscreen SPF30 Perfume Free.
These sunscreens can even be used for kids, although the brand has also developed sunscreens for babies and children with the same ingredients. However, the composition is different because the skin is much younger and therefore requires different amounts.
What is the best sunscreen for the face?
In your search for the ideal sunscreen, you are specifically looking for the right sunscreen stick for your face. Just like the best sun protection, it is different for each individual what a sunscreen stick must meet. For us, the standards are very clear and simple, it must be completely safe. Lubricating with carcinogenic ingredients is absolutely not recommended. The safest sunscreen stick for the face is theAttitude Face Stick Sunscreen SPF 30 Perfume Free. It is even so safe that it is also suitable for kids. This natural sunscreen provides 100% mineral protection against UVA and UVB, it contains non-nano zinc oxide particles (so do not pass through your skin), is EWG VERIFIED, Top-rated on EWG Skin Deep® Cosmetics Database ECOLOG Certified and PETA. In addition, it is hypoallergenic, dermatologically tested and contains no natural fragrance. An absolute must-have! Another facial sunscreen that we recommend is from the Korean brand Purito. ThePurito Daily Go-To Sunscreen SPF 50+has an extremely high protection factor that will certainly protect your face well against the sun.
What is the best After Sun at the moment?
We also believe that the best After Sun is an After Sun that is completely safe and free of all (possible) harmful substances such as synthetic UV filters, silicones, titanium dioxide, PEGs such as PEG-100 stearate and PEG-40- hydrogenated castor oil, phenoxyethanol, parabens, formaldehyde or formaldehyde releasers, benzyl alcohol and MIT. Just to name a few. A safe After Sun that cools, has a nice scent and is of course natural! You then end up with theAttitude After Sun Calendula Mint & Cucumber Melt-In Gel. Again the brand Attitude, but this brand is incredibly progressive and is hammered on the safety of its products.
The After Sun Calendula contains the ingredient Calendula which comes from the marigold. This flower is extremely powerful and extremely popular with the use of care products. You can also see the ingredient in baby care products, for example. Calendula supports the skin and accelerates the process of recovery. It also works anti-inflammatory and has a calming effect on eczema, acne, itching and rash. Calendula is therefore an absolute added value in the After Sun, which also contains cucumber and mint.
When do you use a sunscreen?
You have people who do not lubricate at all and you have people who lubricate continuously. Provided the sun is healthy and you absolutely need sun rays. We get vitamin D through the sun. However, the excess of sun rays, such as baking in the sun for hours, is disastrous for your health. Why? You ignore the natural sunscreen, which is the skin that starts to tan. This indicates that you need to get out of the sun and move to the shade. Nevertheless, we think a tan is beautiful, and that is exactly what the sunscreen has been developed for. Although many wildly popular brands all contain harmful ingredients such as carcinogens, that actually makes the sunburn even more harmful than sitting in the sun itself. That is why it is important to use a sunscreen that is not harmful.
Daily sun, outside the hottest hours, is healthy and good for your health. It is not for nothing that manyDutch people have a vitamin D deficiency, they don't get enough sun. It's actually very simple: as soon as you're outside for a longer period of time, we recommend using sunscreen.
So you absolutely need sun, but in a normal responsible way.
Is there also natural sun protection?
You are looking for natural sun protection that protects your skin from overexposure to the sun. Safe sunbathing is paramount, a natural variant with harmful free ingredients is what you want. Natural sunscreen absolutely exists and it is becoming more and more known. People are becoming aware of all the harmful and carcinogenic substances used in sunscreen. That's exactly what you want to avoid, and a reason to apply sunscreen if you're dancing or lying in the sun for hours. Below we have listed a number of natural, plastic-free and safe sunscreens for you:
Do I really need another facial sunscreen?
In your search for your ideal sunscreen that also contains safe ingredients, you come across sun protection that is intended for the face or for the body. Can't you just buy one sunscreen for your whole body and use it for your face and lips? Of course you can, but a sunscreen stick for the face has not just been developed. The skin on your face is more sensitive than the skin on your body. This therefore requires extra care and protection.
Sunscreen for the skin is often a thick and greasy substance, if you put it on your face it can cause impure skin because it clogs your pores. In addition, sun protection for the body does not contain any extra caring ingredients that a sunscreen for the face does contain. The skin on your body can take more than the skin on your face.
Your face is more sensitive and vulnerable, which is why extra care ingredients have always been added to sunscreen for the face. It is also a lighter texture, so that your pores do not get completely clogged with impure skin as a result. A sunscreen for the body and a sunscreen for the face therefore both protect the skin against the sun, they only contain slightly different ingredients in addition to the basic ingredients that protect you against the sun's rays.
If you've always just used one sunscreen for your body and face and never had any problems with it, then we recommend that you just keep doing that. You know what's best for your skin. However, you are now better informed about the difference between the two. One chooses a separate facial sunburn, the other does not. It's all about what you like best and what works best for you.
Has a sunscreen also been developed for an acne-prone face?
If you have acne, you are extremely careful with all kinds of ointments. You obviously don't want your acne to get worse.

Is there also a mineral and non-nano sunscreen on the market?
In your search for a sunscreen that protects you while tanning, but also one that naturally protects your skin, contains zinc oxide and is non-nano, it becomes clear that this is not an obvious sunscreen that you buy at the drugstore. can purchase.
