Prevent & alleviate sun damage - with professional skin care

The sun is essential for our well-being - but its rays also have a dark side. Sun damage is one of the most common causes of visible skin changes that go far beyond sunburn. Regular UV exposure can damage the skin - with consequences such as hyperpigmentation, dry skin, redness or, in the worst case, DNA damage.

The result of this long-term exposure is a gradual form of skin ageing, known in dermatology as photoaging.

What is photoaging? - The invisible ageing of the skin caused by the sun

Photoaging describes the premature ageing of the skin caused by the sun's rays. In contrast to genetically caused ageing processes, photoaging is triggered externally by UV radiation and high-energy visible light. The typical signs of this light-induced skin ageing are

Fine lines and sun wrinkles
Pigmentation disorders, such as age spots or melasma
Loss of elasticity and tone
A sallow, uneven complexion
Visible capillaries or burst veins

While sun damage such as sunburn is a direct, short-term reaction of the skin to UV radiation, photoaging is a slow, cumulative process that develops over years and often only becomes visible at a late stage.

Types of sun damage - acute and chronic effects on the skin

Sun damage includes a variety of skin changes caused by UV-A and UV-B rays. A distinction is made between short-term and long-term damage:

Acute sun damage:

Sunburn with redness, a feeling of heat and tightness
Sun allergy (e.g. polymorphic light dermatosis)
Inflammation and sensitivity reactions
First signs of cell stress or DNA changes

Chronic sun damage (photoaging):

Deep wrinkles and skin sagging
Permanent pigment shifts
Elastosis: The breakdown of collagen and elastin
Couperose or visible vasodilation
Dryness and barrier loss

Chronic UV exposure not only causes the skin to lose its radiance, but also its resistance. Cell functions are disrupted, inhibiting the natural regeneration process.

How to prevent photoaging - with daily UV protection

Face Guard Advanced

As up to 80 % of visible skin ageing is due to UV radiation, daily use of high-quality sun protection is essential - regardless of the weather, season or skin type.

Therefore, rely on comprehensive UV protection with our Face Guard Advanced. The protective concentrate provides effective protection against UVA, UVB and IR radiation.

SPF 30 + IR protection for year-round sun protection
With Ectoin® to strengthen the skin barrier
Neutralizes free radicals
Ideal as a sun protection concentrate under day care
Suitable for all skin types

Don't forget the body: all-round care with our sun bundles

If you want to protect your skin from sun damage, there's no getting around professional sun protection. The SUN Bundles from JANSSEN COSMETICS offer perfectly coordinated combinations of sun protection and after-sun care - for comprehensive protection, intensive regeneration and all-round skin care. Our SUN products offer reliable broad-spectrum protection against UV-A and UV-B radiation - for every everyday situation.

high protection against UV-A and UV-B rays
helps to prevent UV-induced skin damage (e.g. sunburn)
prevents unwanted pigmentation spots
delays light-induced skin ageing (e.g. wrinkling)
protects against the negative effects of oxidative stress caused by blue light and IR-A radiation
for all particularly light-sensitive skin zones
light, fast-absorbing texture

Epigenetic Serum - skin care at cellular level

UV radiation not only causes visible skin damage such as wrinkles or pigmentation spots - it also has a deep effect on the cells and influences their epigenetic control. This downregulates important repair and protective mechanisms of the skin - a key factor in photoaging.

This is precisely where the Epigenetic Serum comes in:
It helps to regulate epigenetic processes disturbed by UV stress, strengthens the skin's resistance and reactivates its youthful vitality.

Effect at cellular level:

Epigenetic active ingredient: regulates gene activity, protects against environmental stress
Calendula flower extract: slows down epigenetically induced skin ageing
Hyaluronic acid: provides intensive moisture, plumps up wrinkles
Saccharide Isomerate: strengthens the skin barrier, provides long-lasting moisture
