Eucerin Oil Control Transparent sprej za zaštitu od sunca SPF 50

Sunscreens are available in four different levels of protection: low (factor 6 to 10), medium (15 to 25), high (30 to 50) and very high (50+). The higher the protection factor the better your skin is protected, but it’s important to apply the product thoroughly (be careful not to miss any bits) and to reapply it generously every two hours.

Some people with oily and acne-prone skin are concerned that sunscreen will worsen their symptoms and avoid sun protection altogether. Specially formulated products such as Eucerin Sun Spray Oil Control Transparent SPF 50+ are tested on people with oily and acne prone skin and proven neither to clog pores nor to trigger breakouts.

Kreme za sunčanje dostupne su u četiri različite razine zaštite: niska (faktor 6 do 10), srednja (15 do 25), visoka (30 do 50) i vrlo visoka (50+). Što je veći faktor zaštite, to je bolja zaštita vaše kože, ali važno je da svaka dva sata u dostatnoj mjeri i temeljito nanesete proizvod (pazite da vam ništa ne promakne).

UVA zrake prodiru u dublje slojeve kože. One stimuliraju proizvodnju slobodnih radikala na koži što uzrokuje oksidacijski stres i može dovesti do neizravnog oštećenja DNA (gdje slobodni radikali tijekom vremena modificiraju staničnu DNA). UVA zrake najčešće su povezane s fotostarenjem (prerano starenje kože uzrokovano suncem). One također mogu potaknuti alergije na sunce kao što je polimorfna svjetlosna erupcija (PLE). UVB zrake također mogu izazvati alergije, ali u manjoj mjeri.

UVB zrake osiguravaju energiju koja je potrebna vašoj koži da stvori vitamin D i stimulira proizvodnju melanina koji je odgovoran za tamnjenje. Ne putuju duboko kao UVA zrake, koje prodiru do najudaljenijih slojeva kože, no uzrokuju više neposrednih oštećenja poput opeklina od sunca. UVB zrake izravno se apsorbiraju putem stanične DNA što može dovesti do bolesti kože kao što su aktinska keratoza i rak kože.
Obje vrste UV zraka mogu izazvati hiperpigmentaciju i mogu pridonijeti uvjetima kao što su sunčane mrlje (također poznate kao staračke mrlje) i melazma.

Spektar svjetlosti sastoji se od UV, vidljivog i infracrvenog svjetla. Ljudsko oko može otkriti vidljivu sunčevu svjetlost, dok ostale sunčeve svjetlosti ostaju nevidljive golim okom. Dio vidljivog spektra ima visoku razinu energije i poznat je kao visokoenergetski vidljiva svjetlost. Također se naziva HEVIS svjetlost, HEV svjetlost, HEVL a ponekad „plavo svjetlo“ ili „plavo ljubičasto svjetlo“.

Poput UVA zračenja, HEVIS svjetlost prodire u dublje slojeve kože (dermis) i može stvoriti slobodne radikale. Ovi slobodni radikali jedan su od glavnih uzroka fotostarenja (preranog starenja kože uzrokovanog suncem). Oni interferiraju sa stanicama kože i razgrađuju kolagen i elastin koji našoj koži daje punašan, mladenački izgled. HEVIS svjetlost je također povezana s neujednačenom pigmentacijom kože i melazmom.

Mnoge moderne kreme za sunčanje nude učinkovitu zaštitu od UVA i UVB zračenja, no preporučujemo da pazite na proizvode koji također pružaju zaštitu od negativnih učinaka HEVIS svjetlosti. Ovi proizvodi će pružiti vašoj koži pouzdanu zaštitu od fotostarenja te dugoročno mogu pomoći u borbi protiv vidljivih znakova starenja kože poput bora.

Yes. Effective sun protection is essential for all skin types and it’s particularly important for acne-prone skin for a number of reasons: 

• To protect against hyperpigmentation: As skin affected by acne shows a high degree of inflammation, it is particularly prone to hyperpigmentation and excess melanin is produced. This surplus melanin remains after the spot has healed leaving a pigmentation mark. These pigmentation marks are particularly susceptible to the sun and the right sun protection will help to prevent them from darkening and becoming more noticeable. 
• To prevent skin from drying out: Oily skin still needs moisture. Over exposure to the sun causes it to dry out and the sebaceous glands (which products the sebum that gives skin the oil it needs) go into overdrive. This excess sebum is one of the key stages in the development of blemishes. When skin dries out its external layers harden and this can get in the way of the natural skin-shedding process. Dead skin can build up, block pores and exacerbate acne. 

It’s also important to be aware that some acne medication and skin peels can make skin more sensitive to the sun and more susceptible to sun-induced skin damage. Products specially formulated for acne-prone skin, such as Eucerin Sun Spray Oil Control Transparent SPF 50+, will protect acne-prone skin from sunburn with high UV protection and a non-sticky and non-oily finish, offering all-day protection with oil and shine control. 

Facial skin is more sensitive to UVA/UVB radiation and HEVIS light than skin on the rest of the body as it is exposed to sun all year round. Sun protection can help you avoid the cellular DNA damage caused by UV, photoaging (premature aging caused by the sun) and hyperpigmentation. It is important to protect facial skin whenever it is exposed to the sun. 

UVA rays penetrate the deeper layers of skin. They stimulate the production of free radicals in the skin which cause oxidative stress and can lead to indirect DNA damage (where the free radicals modify cellular DNA over time).  UVA rays are most commonly associated with photoaging (premature skin aging caused by the sun). They can also trigger sun allergies such as Polymorphous Light Eruption (PLE). UVB rays can also provoke allergies, but to a lesser degree.

UVB rays provide the energy your skin needs to make Vitamin D and stimulate the production of melanin which is responsible for tanning. They don’t travel as deeply as UVA rays, penetrating only the outermost layers of skin, but they cause more immediate damage such as sunburn. UVB rays are directly absorbed by cellular DNA which can lead to skin diseases such as actinic keratosis and skin cancer.

Both types of UV can induce hyperpigmentation and may contribute to conditions such as sun spots (also known as age spots) and melasma.

The sunlight spectrum consists of UV, visible and infrared light. Visible sunlight can be detected by the human eye, while the others remain invisible. Part of this visible spectrum has a high energy level and is known as high-energy visible light. It is also referred to as HEVIS light, HEV Light, HEVL and sometimes ‘blue light’ or ‘blue violet light’

Like UVA rays, HEVIS light penetrates the deeper layers of skin (the dermis) and can generate free radicals. These free radicals are one of the main causes of photoaging (premature skin aging caused by the sun). They interfere with skin cells and break down the collagen and elastin that gives our skin its plump, youthful appearance. HEVIS light has also been linked to uneven skin pigmentation and melasma.

Many modern sunscreens offer effective protection against UVA and UVB rays, but we recommend that you look out for products that also defend against the negative effects of HEVIS light. These products will give your skin reliable protection from photoaging and, in the long run, can also help to combat the visible signs of skin aging.
