How the sunlight damage our skin?
There are two types of rays in the sunlight: UVA rays and UVB rays. UVB causes sunburn at the outer layers of skin, but UVA causes sun damage that reach deeper layers of skin. Both UVA and UVB radiation can contribute to the development of skin cancer.
Why we would need sunscreen?
Understanding the active ingredients in sunscreen is a bit like learning a foreign language that uses a different alphabet. Suffice it to say in short that sunscreens are made up of a combination of two types of ingredients: those that reflect ultraviolet (UV) rays and those that absorb UV rays.
How to protect our skin from UV light?
*Choose the right sunscreen for your skin type Lotion sunscreen is suitable for oily skin; Gel sunscreen for normal skin; Dry skin should be treated with a cream based sunscreen. At the same time, the SPF value of the sunscreen should also be reasonable, not too low or too high
* Apply sunscreen 20 minutes before going outside, When applying, it should follow the order of “center outward, bottom up” and apply evenly. It’s suggested to reapply sunscreen every 2-3 hours to ensure protection from the sun.
*Wear sun-protective clothing Sunscreen clothing is a good sunscreen tool, can block the sun, reduce skin exposure. It uses special materials, which can effectively prevent the damage of ultraviolet rays. Therefore, when the sun is strong and long outdoor activities, it is recommended to wear sunscreen clothing.

Why we would choose the sunscreen with Ecdoine?

These two qualities make it a highly desirable ingredient in sunscreens because it can help skin retain moisture at the same time as protect skin from cancer-causing rays. There are currently only a few sunscreens available on the market that include ectoin, but those that do are providing a broad spectrum of sun protection, regardless of the SPF factor.
