**Further Information on Sun Protection**

Sunlight is good for our wellbeing and vitality. It stimulates the blood circulation and is important for the synthesis of vitamin D, which the body needs for calcium production for the bones. However, sunlight can also be dangerous to our skin:
- UV-A rays cause premature aging of the skin.
- UV-B rays can cause dangerous cell damage (sunburn); And the skin never forgets sunburn!

With recurrent UV radiation the epidermis thickens and thus reflects the sun’s rays. Another defence mechanism is the formation of pigmentation, which we consider as a tan. The skin pigment Melanin functions here as a protection from the sun and absorbs a great deal of the UV rays. This natural protection is only sufficient for a short stay in the sun.

How to avoid the skin damage caused by UV radiation:
- It is better to stay out of the sun between 11:00 and 15:00, because it is then that the sun’s rays are most intense.
- If you have to stay for longer periods in direct or indirect sunlight, you must wear protective clothing and preferably a cover for your head. This clothing must be comfortable, breathing, moisture-expelling and, of course, UV-resistant. Any uncovered skin should be spread with a sunscreen with a high protection factor. The term Sun Protection Factor (SPF) is used to describe this.
- Children in fact should stay as little as possible in direct sunlight. If this is unavoidable, then they should always wear protective clothing and their uncovered skin should be rubbed with a sunscreen with a high protection factor (more than SPF 20).
- Sunburn creams and lotions must always be applied 30 minutes before exposure to the sun, so that the sun-protection factor can do its work.
