When should you use sunscreen for the face?

In Denmark, it is not necessary to use sunscreen all year round - with a few exceptions. You can use the easy rule of thumb that when the UV index gets above 3, you need to apply your face sunscreen.

It will most often be in the summer, when the sun is sharper. In winter, both UVA and UVB radiation will not be particularly sharp, and it will therefore usually not be necessary to protect the skin from the sun at all.

That is why it is important to use sunscreen for the face when using active skin care

However, there may be a good reason to protect yourself, even if the UV index is not high. There are a number of skin care ingredients that often work fantastically to minimize wrinkles, fine lines and pigment changes. But they can also make the skin extra sensitive to the sun – and then you can quickly counteract the effect of your skin care.

The ingredients to be aware of when it comes to sun sensitivity are retinol (vitamin A) and fruit acids (AHA and BHA). If you use these ingredients, it can be a really good idea to protect your face from the sun all year round.

You will find those ingredients in the following products: Refreshing Eye Cream, AHA Peeling and Nourishing Night Cream at Sanzi Beauty. Here we always recommend that you use sunscreen afterwards.

What happens if you don't use sunscreen on your face?

As mentioned above, a good face sunscreen is one of the best investments you can make in your skin care routine. It acts as a shield against the sun's rays, which can otherwise cause early aging of your skin - which means that you get wrinkles earlier than you would otherwise.

However, there are also other (more important) reasons to protect yourself from the sun. The sun's rays can also cause solar eczema, pigment changes and, in the worst case, skin cancer. Therefore, it is always a good idea to be at the forefront and provide sun protection for the skin in the form of a good sunscreen for the face.

How much sunscreen should I use on my face?

The most important thing to achieve the right protection from your sunscreen for the face is of course that you remember to use enough. Without enough sunscreen, you will not achieve the desired protection and therefore effect.

When it comes to your sunscreen for the face, you should use the equivalent of a teaspoon. It is often more than you think. It is therefore about finding some sunscreens that penetrate quickly without being greasy. Here we would recommend trying our Moisturizing Day Cream SPF30 or SPF50, which works both as a day cream and a sunscreen – and leaves the skin thoroughly moisturised without being greasy.

Also remember that your sunscreen must be applied at least 15-20 minutes before you go out in the sun, so that it has penetrated and is ready to protect your skin from the sun. You must also remember to apply more sunscreen if you are out in the sun for longer periods.
