In fact, you can prepare your skin a little for the sun’s rays by gradually giving your skin the opportunity to get used to the increasingly strong sunlight.<\/p>\n

Especially when holidaying by the sea or in the mountains – where UV exposure is particularly high – it makes sense to complete a “hardening” program two weeks before the planned vacation.<\/p>\n

This means starting with 5 minutes of sunbathing every day and increasing this by a further 5 minutes every 2 days. However, caution is advised for very light skin types (“Celtic” type, never tans) – the right sun protection and avoidance of the midday sun is required here! <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Ideally, it is advisable to adjust the level of sun protection to the vacation destination and skin type.<\/p>\n

Generally speaking, the lighter the HT, the shorter the self-protection time and the higher the SPF.<\/h3>\n

Skin type I actually always 50+ (this already corresponds to 95% protection against sunlight).<\/p>\n

As a dermatologist, however, I am not only primarily responsible for skin health; let’s not forget that too much sun can not only cause severe sunburns but also skin cancer – chronic sun exposure should also be avoided, as it ages the skin significantly (this is known as elastosis) and also massively promotes pigmentation disorders. Women on hormone-containing contraception and people with HT 4 and above are particularly affected by this. <\/p>\n

I recommend using sun protection all year round, and I don’t generally think much of day creams that already contain sunscreen, as it is usually far too low. If you value an even complexion (and this is a major concern for me in my practice), then daily sun protection with 50+ is the non-plus-ultra.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip: <\/h2>\n

Apply generously, otherwise the effect will be “weakened” – here I recommend oil-free, mattifying products that are also lightly tinted – especially for the face, as the skin is particularly exposed here. We must not forget that such a high level of protection “whitens<\/em>” the skin!<\/em> <\/p>\n

And remember: the more sun, the more wrinkles!<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is best to prevent sun damage from occurring in the first place. However, if unsightly skin spots do appear, I always recommend a visit to a dermatologist, as they can quickly assess what type of pigmentation disorder it is and which method is the right one to remove it! <\/p>\n

In my practice, I specialize in laser medicine and with 2-3 sessions, great results can be achieved with laser treatments tailored to the patient.<\/p>\n

So sunbathe yes, but only on your body (cover your face with a sun hat and sun cream) and please don’t do it in the midday sun – that’s from 11:00 to 16:00.<\/p>\n

Through my scientific involvement in the development of sun protection products, I have worked with La Roche Posay<\/strong> for many years and swear by their products as they are very skin-friendly and can build up a reliable protection mechanism. Some products are also completely oil-free, which makes application more comfortable for the face. The BIODERMA<\/strong> brand also offers excellent sun care. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
