Sunscreen is always handy to have at home. One always uses it, 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, and the natural sunburn is our body signaling that if we are discolored, it is time to get out of the sun. Ideal, but getting a touch 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 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?
What the best sun protection is for 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 and contains no (any) harmful ingredients. We think it is important that you protect your skin from excessive sun exposure. This way you can enjoy the sun in a safe way. These are the toppers:
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 smell at all, there is also an odorless variant with otherwise the same ingredients. Attitude Mineral Sunscreen SPF30 Fragrance 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, the requirements for a sunscreen stick differ per individual. 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 the Attitude Face Stick Sunscreen SPF 30 Fragrance Free . It is even so safe that it is also suitable for children. This natural sunscreen gives 100% mineral protection against UVA and UVB, it contains non-nano zinc oxide particles (so they do not go 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!
What's the best After Sun right now?
Also for the best After Sun money for us that it is an After Sun that is completely safe and free of all (possible) harmful substances such as synthetic UV filters, silicones, titanium doxide, 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 which is of course natural! You will then end up with the Attitude 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 in the use of care products, you also see it in care products for babies. Calendula supports the skin and accelerates the recovery process. It also has an anti-inflammatory and 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 don't smear at all and you have people who smear continuously. Provided the sun is healthy and you absolutely need sun rays. However, the excess of sun rays, such as baking for hours in the sun, is disastrous for your health. Why? You are ignoring the natural sunscreen, which is the skin that begins to brown. This indicates that you need to get out of the sun and move to the shade. However, it is true that our culture likes a tan, and that is exactly what sunscreen has been developed for. Although many wildly popular brands all contain harmful ingredients such as carcinogens, that actually makes the sunscreen 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 many Dutch have a vitamin D deficiency , they get too little in the sun. It's actually very simple: as soon as you are outside for a longer period of time, we recommend using sunscreen.
So you absolutely need sun, but in a normal normal way. Always applying sunscreen and blocking the sun is not good for your overall health.
Is there also natural sun protection?
You are looking for natural sun protection that protects your skin from excessive sun exposure. Safe sunbathing is paramount, a natural variant with harmful-free ingredients is what you want. Natural sunscreen definitely exists and it's getting more and more famous. Why? 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 rub in when you're dancing or lying in the sun for hours. Below we have listed two natural 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 will come across sun protection that is intended for the face or the body. Can't you just buy one sunscreen for your whole body and use it on your face and lips. Of course that is possible, but a sunscreen stick for the face is not just developed. Your 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 apply this on your skin it can cause blemished skin because it clogs your pores. In addition, sun protection for the body does not contain any extra caring ingredients that a sunscreen does for the face. This to keep the product affordable, in addition, the skin of your body can take more than the skin of your face.
Your face is more sensitive and vulnerable, which is why extra care ingredients have always been added in sunscreen for the face. It is also a lighter texture, so that your pores do not become completely clogged, resulting in blemished skin. So it protects both, there are only slightly different ingredients in addition to the basic ingredients that protect you from the sun's rays.
If you've always just used one sunscreen and used it on your body and face and never had any problems with it, then we just recommend that you just keep doing it. You know what is best for your skin. However, you are now better informed about the difference between the two. One chooses both, the other does not. It's about what you find most comfortable and what works best for you.
Is there also a sunscreen developed for a face with acne?
