Sun protection for the face - how to protect your skin from ageing & pigmentation spots

29 April 2025

Why sun protection for the face is so important

Did you know that up to 80% of visible skin ageing is caused by UV rays - especially on the face? Sun, even through clouds or window glass, destroys collagen fibers and promotes wrinkles, loss of elasticity and pigmentation spots.

Daily sun protection for the face is therefore the most effective measure against premature skin ageing.

Sun protection for the face - important all year round

UV-A rays reach your face even on cloudy days or in the shade. These penetrate deep into the skin, promote oxidative stress and accelerate skin ageing.

Applying UV protection to your face 365 days a year is the basis of modern skincare - whether you are walking, driving or working at the window.

 

UV-A & UV-B: how they affect your facial skin

UV-B rays: cause sunburn and irritate the upper layer of the skin.

UV-A rays: penetrate deeply, destroy elastic fibers and cause wrinkles.

Good sun protection for the face provides broad-spectrum protection - i.e. against both types of rays - and preserves your skin structure in the long term.

Avoid pigmentation spots - with daily face protection

Pigment spots are often caused by excessive UV exposure on the face, décolleté or hands. The skin produces melanin unevenly, resulting in dark, annoying spots.
Solution: sun protection with SPF for the face

Daily UV protection prevents hyperpigmentation and should be part of every skincare routine - regardless of whether you want to prevent or even out existing spots.
