Summer is just around the corner - with long days, balmy evenings and plenty of sunlight. But as much as we enjoy the warm rays: Our skin needs special attention now. UV rays are considered one of the biggest external skin ageing factors. They promote the development of wrinkles, pigmentation spots, enlarged veins and can weaken the skin barrier in the long term.
Our sun protection solutions combine the latest dermatological findings with exclusive active ingredients that prevent, regenerate and perfect - for healthy, radiant skin that retains its balance even under the sun.
Why UV protection is so important
UVA and UVB rays penetrate the skin to different depths. While UVB rays tend to cause short-term damage such as sunburn, UVA rays promote long-term damage at cellular level - including DNA changes.
However, a pure UV filter is only part of the picture. Our QMS sun care goes even deeper: it strengthens the skin's own protective mechanisms, supports regeneration and strengthens the cell structure in the long term - even after UV exposure.
1. prevention with effective UVA/UVB filters
Our DERMA EXPERT formulations are based on balanced broadband filters that protect against both immediate damage and long-term skin ageing. The combination with antioxidant active ingredients such as vitamin E or plant stem cells ensures that free radicals are neutralised before they can damage cell structures.
2. protect and care with regenerative active ingredients
Innovative ingredients such as our DNA repair complex promote the repair of existing micro-damage and strengthen the skin's immune function. Plant stem cells from pomegranate, cotton and Monarda Didyma are particularly valuable as they have an anti-inflammatory effect, balance pigmentation and support the skin's microbiome - an essential barrier against environmental influences.
3. perfecting - refine & soothe skin texture
Rice germ oil moisturises, smoothes and nourishes, while mattifying formulations provide a silky finish. Whether you prefer a natural glow or an ultra-fine complexion, our textures are designed to suit your needs.
How much sun is healthy?
Sun is vital. It stimulates vitamin D production, lifts the mood and can even have an anti-inflammatory effect. However, the skin can start to suffer damage after just a few minutes of unprotected exposure to the sun. Just 15-30 minutes in the sun every day is enough - ideally in the morning or late afternoon. You should avoid the intense midday sun between 11am and 3pm or at least protect yourself consistently.
The right amount of sun cream - less is not more
You should use about half a teaspoon of sun cream for your face and around 30-40 ml (about two heaped tablespoons) for your entire body.
How often should I apply sun cream?
Once is not enough. Even if a product is waterproof, the protection can be impaired by sweat, sand, clothing or drying off. Apply the sun cream 30 minutes before going outside and reapply at least every 2 hours - even more often if you are exercising, swimming or sweating heavily.
