Sun protection for your skin
Sun protection is essential to protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays. UV radiation from the sun can cause significant damage to the skin, including sunburn, pigment spots, premature ageing and skin cancer.
The sun's rays consist of different types of UV rays, each of which has different effects on the skin. The most harmful are UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin and can cause premature ageing and wrinkles, while UVB rays are responsible for sunburn and can directly damage DNA in skin cells, increasing the risk of skin cancer.
A necessity - not just in summer
Although we most often think of sun protection during the summer months, it's important to protect your skin all year round. UV radiation penetrates clouds and affects the skin even when the sun doesn't feel strong. Everyday activities such as walking, driving or simply sitting by a window expose the skin to harmful radiation.
By incorporating sun protection into your daily skincare routine, you protect yourself from both acute damage and the more hidden long-term damage such as pigmentation changes and loss of elasticity. A good sunscreen or moisturiser face serum with SPF is a simple yet effective investment in skin health - all year round.
Protection against UV radiation
When choosing products with SPF, make sure it has a high SPF (Sun Protection Factor) for optimal protection. Sunscreens with SPF 30 or higher are generally recommended for daily use, while SPF 50 or higher is ideal for those who spend longer in the sun or have sensitive skin. It's important to choose broad-spectrum sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays. Sunscreen should be applied liberally and reapplied several times a day, especially after bathing or if you sweat a lot.
Why broad-spectrum sun protection is the best choice
When choosing sun products, you should always look for broad-spectrum sun protection. This means that the product protects against both UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin and can lead to premature ageing and wrinkles, while UVB rays typically cause sunburn and damage to the skin's DNA.
Broad spectrum protection ensures you're covered on both fronts. High SPF products, such as SPF 30 or SPF 50, also provide a longer-lasting barrier against UV radiation - especially when reapplied regularly. Whatever your skin type, choosing the right protection is crucial, especially if you want to prevent permanent damage.
Sun protection for the face
The face and other exposed areas such as the scalp and shoulders are particularly susceptible to sun damage. Wear a sun hat and seek shade when the sun is at its peak, typically between 10am and 4pm. Using a higher factor sunscreen on these areas can help prevent wrinkles, age spots and sunburn.
For the face is Sun Face Serum SPF50 an ideal choice as it both protects against the sun's UV rays and nourishes the skin. This serum is lightweight and non-greasy, making it perfect for daily use under make-up. It also contains moisturising ingredients to help keep the skin hydrated and healthy.
Light and nourishing SPF for sensitive and exposed skin
The face is one of the most exposed areas and therefore requires extra protection. It's important to use a light and nourishing sunscreen that doesn't clog pores or feel heavy on the skin. Sun serums with SPF, like those from Lantz Copenhagen, are designed with both protection and care in mind.
They are ideal for sensitive skin as they contain soothing and moisturising ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and vitamin E. The lightweight texture makes them perfect under make-up and they absorb quickly without being greasy. Use them daily - even when the sun isn't shining brightly - to ensure a healthy future for your skin.
Sun protection for lips
The lips are one of the most exposed areas of the body when it comes to the sun's harmful rays. Although we often focus on protecting our face and body, the lips are often overlooked. The lips have thinner skin than the rest of the face and do not contain melanin, making them particularly vulnerable to UV radiation.
To protect your lips from the sun's rays, it's important to use a lip balm with SPF 15. Lip balms with sun protection create a barrier against UV rays and can prevent sun damage, such as dry, chapped lips and, in the worst cases, the development of skin cancer on the lips. It is recommended to apply the lip balm liberally and repeat the application several times a day.
Small details, big difference for your lip care
The lips are often forgotten when we talk about sun protection - and that's a mistake. The lips have no natural protection in the form of melanin and are therefore particularly vulnerable to sun damage such as dryness, cracking and, in the worst cases, precancerous skin conditions. A lip balm with SPF 15 is a simple but effective solution.
It protects against both UVA and UVB rays while moisturising and nourishing. Ingredients like vitamin E help keep lips soft and supple. It's a small detail in your daily routine - but one that can make a big difference to both comfort and long-term health.
Care after the sun
After a day in the sun, your skin can feel dry and irritated even after using sun protection. Use an aftersun gel to moisturise and soothe the skin.
Our After Sun Gel, which is specially designed to moisturise and cool the skin after sun exposure. This product can help reduce redness and restore the skin's natural balance. The gel's moisturising ingredients help restore the skin's moisture balance and prevent flaking and dryness. It is an ideal solution to soothe the skin and prevent long-term damage after sun exposure.
Cool and rebuild skin with moisture and calm
After spending time in the sun, skin needs extra care to restore its natural balance. Whether you've been in direct sunlight for several hours or just out in daylight, skin can become dry, tight and irritated. A soothing aftersun gel with moisturising ingredients like aloe vera or glycerin will help soothe skin and reduce redness.
The cooling effect feels comfortable and helps reduce the risk of flaking and dehydration. Giving your skin a rest after the sun is an important part of a complete sun protection routine - and a step many forget, but one that really makes a difference.
Vitamin D and sun protection
Although the sun's rays are a natural source of vitamin D, it's important to balance sun protection with the need for vitamin D. By using sunscreen and spending short periods of time in the sun, you can get the necessary amount of vitamin D without damaging your skin. Vitamin D is essential for bone health and the immune system, and the body produces it when the skin is exposed to sunlight. By using sunscreen and spending short periods of time in the sun, you can get the necessary amount of vitamin D without damaging your skin.
How to balance health and skincare in the sun
There has long been a debate about whether sun protection prevents the body from producing vitamin D. The truth is that it's perfectly possible to get enough vitamin D even when wearing sunscreen. The body produces vitamin D when the skin is exposed to UVB rays - and even with sunscreen, some UVB gets through.
You only need short-term exposure on your hands and face a few times a week to fulfil your needs. It's all about balance. Don't avoid sun protection for fear of vitamin D deficiency - protect your skin and ensure a varied diet or supplementation if necessary.
