Why is Sun Protection Important?
Sunlight is essential for well-being and vitamin D production. However, excessive UV exposure can cause lasting damage to the skin. UVB rays are responsible for sunburn, while UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin and accelerate aging. Without sufficient protection, the risk of skin cancer also increases.
To enjoy the sun safely, it is important to protect your skin daily with a suitable sunscreen. Especially during the summer months or long outdoor stays, a high sun protection factor (SPF) should be considered.
At Heros Hygiene, you will find a wide range of high-quality sunscreens for different skin types and applications.
Different Types of Sunscreens
Not all sunscreens are the same. Depending on skin type and purpose, there are different variations:
• Chemical sunscreens absorb quickly and provide invisible protection by absorbing UV rays.
• Mineral sunscreens act as a physical shield on the skin, reflecting the sun’s rays. These are particularly suitable for sensitive skin.
• Waterproof sunscreens are ideal for sports and water activities as they offer protection even after swimming or sweating.
• Tinted sunscreens combine UV protection with a light makeup effect, evening out the complexion.
We recommend choosing a sunscreen that suits your skin type and lifestyle. In our online shop, you will find a large selection of high-quality sun protection products.
Facial Sunscreen: Special Requirements
The skin on the face is more sensitive than the body and requires specially formulated sun protection. A good facial sunscreen should not only protect against UV rays but also nourish the skin and feel pleasant to wear.
It is particularly important to choose a light, non-greasy formula that works well under makeup. Additionally, sunscreen should protect against both UVA and UVB rays to prevent premature skin aging and pigmentation spots.
We offer specially developed facial sunscreens that provide optimal protection and feel comfortable on the skin.
Day Cream with Sun Protection: Practical for Everyday Use
In a busy daily routine, sun protection is often neglected. A day cream with integrated SPF is a practical solution to protect the skin daily without needing an additional sunscreen.
These products combine moisturizing care with UV protection and come in various formulas – from lightweight, matte textures to rich creams for dry skin. However, those who spend a lot of time outdoors should also apply a classic sunscreen with a higher SPF for optimal protection.
In our range, you will find a selection of day creams with sun protection, perfect for everyday use.
Sunscreen for Sensitive Skin & Allergy Sufferers
Sensitive skin requires special care. Many conventional sunscreens contain fragrances or chemical filters that can cause irritation.
For sensitive skin or allergy sufferers, we recommend hypoallergenic sunscreens free from fragrances, parabens, and irritating ingredients. Mineral sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide offer particularly gentle protection.
There are also special formulations for people with sun allergies that soothe the skin and prevent irritation. Discover sunscreens specifically designed for sensitive skin in our shop.
The Right Sun Protection at the Beach
A day at the beach means intense sun exposure, which is reflected by water and sand. A high sun protection factor (at least SPF 50) is especially important here.
In addition to a high-quality sunscreen, we recommend additional protective measures:
• A wide-brimmed hat to protect the head and face
• UV-protection sunglasses for sensitive eyes
• Lightweight, long-sleeved clothing with UV protection for extra coverage
Sunscreen should be reapplied at least every two hours and after swimming or drying off.
Our waterproof sunscreens are specially designed for long outdoor stays and provide optimal protection.
Expired Sunscreen: What to Do?
Sunscreen has a limited shelf life and loses its effectiveness over time. High temperatures or direct sunlight can break down its ingredients.
How can you tell if sunscreen is no longer usable?
• Changed consistency: Clumping or separation of ingredients
• Unpleasant smell: Rancid or chemical odor
• Reduced effectiveness: Faster sunburn despite proper application
If sunscreen has expired, it should be disposed of and replaced with a new product. In our shop, you will always find fresh and dermatologically tested sun protection products.
Why Are Sunscreen Dispensers Useful?
Sun protection should be simple, hygienic, and always accessible – that’s exactly why sunscreen dispensers are the ideal solution. Whether in public spaces, workplaces, or at home, a well-placed dispenser makes regular sunscreen application easier and ensures reliable UV protection. Sunscreen dispensers help by:
• Being hygienic and practical – especially in public or commercial spaces
• Making sun protection accessible to everyone, e.g., at workplaces, schools, sports fields, or swimming pools
• Dispensing sunscreen efficiently, ensuring even application
• Being sustainable by holding large quantities and reducing the use of smaller packaging
• Being attachable to a stand or sunscreen station, making them mobile and easy to relocate.
