Sun Protection

Sun protect your skin with effective UVB, UVA and IR filters - for a carefree summer.

Whether on the beach, in the city or in the mountains - the sun is everywhere and at any time of the year. In order to be able to enjoy the sun's rays without restriction, it is essential to use a fast-absorbing care product that protects the skin from damage - because every sunburn increases the risk of skin cancer. With SPF 30 and SPF 50+ as well as the active ingredient complex Triparasol, the La mer Sun Protection series offers high UVB, UVA and IR protection. It contains valuable sea silt extract from the Wadden Sea of the North Sea, high-quality UVB and UVA filters as well as Alga-Sol, an extract from brown algae, and protects the skin from short- and long-term damage caused by sunlight. The different products, "made in Germany", for face and body are perfectly adapted to the care needs of the respective skin regions. But it also depends on the application: La mer provides useful tips for maintaining healthy and radiant skin with the right sun protection.

The right creams need to be learned

Quickly a little sun cream and off to the beach - so please not. The sun cream should be applied at least 20 to 30 minutes before sunbathing to prevent sunburn. As a general rule, there is not too much to do with sun protection. It is very important to apply the cream generously and regularly - at least every two hours. This guarantees that the protective effect is maintained even after sweating, swimming or drying. The so-called terrace zones - nose, ears, neck and shoulders - should not be forgotten under any circumstances, because sunburn can quickly occur here. If it does happen, La mer Med S.O.S. Cream Repair can help to care for sunburn or allergic reactions. Tip: If daily care products such as day creams or special eye creams are used in addition to sun care, these should first be massaged into the skin. As soon as the care products have been absorbed, the sun care can be applied afterwards.

Tips for allergy sufferers

More and more people are allergic to certain sun creams. The La mer Sun Protection Sun-Gel SPF 50+ Face and the La mer Sun Protection Sun-Gel SPF 50+ Body are indispensable companions for sunny days. The SPF 50+ offers very high UVB and UVA protection and additional protection against infrared rays. Sun-induced allergies and DNA damage are specifically counteracted. Free of fats and emulsifiers, the dermatologically tested gels are particularly good.Suitable for light, sensitive skin types and for skin prone to Mallorca acne. The valuable sea silt extract contained in the active ingredient complex Triparasol provides intensive moisture to protect the skin against dehydration and to strengthen the skin's protective barrier. The alga Laminaria ochroleuca cares for sensitive skin and protects against free radicals. Thanks to the highly effective marine microorganism Thermus-Thermophilus-Ferment, the skin additionally receives effective protection against infrared rays (IR) and the resulting skin aging process. Tip: In order to prevent the risk of a sun allergy, care should be taken that other care products, such as e.g. day creams, are free of fats and emulsifiers.

After sunbathing is before sunbathing

In order to have as long as possible something of a healthy brown complexion, one should also care for the sun-stressed skin properly. La mer After Sun Lotion provides intensive moisture, stimulates the regeneration process and relieves redness. The exclusive sea silt extract, panthenol and vitamin E typical of La mer products regenerate and care for the skin immediately after application. The light lotion combines intensive moisture with a subtle summer scent, which lingers the day in the sun even in the evening. La mer Med Moisturising Lotion is the ideal alternative for all those who want to do without a fragrance in their after-sun lotion. Tip: Keep the after-sun lotion in the refrigerator for extra skin refreshment.
