"The best thing you can do is avoid prolonged exposure to the sun: this way you will never damage your cells to UV rays. Usually, the sun's intensity is at its strongest between 12 PM and 3 PM, so try to avoid the strong UV radiation during that period." It helps to seek shade during that period. If you're at the beach, make sure to sit under an umbrella. Or find shade on the terrace!

Being indoors doesn't automatically mean you're protected: UVA radiation is noticeable throughout the year and can even penetrate through windows. Therefore, it's important to protect your skin every day, even when you're indoors or in the shade, by using sunscreen.

"Last, but certainly not least, there's applying sunscreen. We recommend applying a 'shot glass' amount or approximately two full tablespoons of sunscreen to the entire body that is exposed to the sun. Also, make sure to use at least SPF 30." That way, you are certain that the sunscreen provides sufficient protection for your skin.

For the face, it's easy to use two fingers' worth of sunscreen as a guideline. Reapply every two hours to ensure optimal protection. With our mineral sunscreen, you are immediately protected because the mineral filter ‘sits’ on the skin and acts like a mirror. This means the formula doesn't have to absorb into the skin like a regular chemical filter.
