PCA Skin Sun Protection Against UVA and UVB Rays

PCA SKIN Sun Protection – Essential defense against skin aging

Daily sun protection is one of the most important steps in any skincare routine. UVA and UVB radiation can contribute to sunburn, pigmentation, uneven skin tone, loss of firmness and premature skin ageing.

PCA Skin offers broad-spectrum sun protection for different skin types and personal preferences. Choose a lightweight SPF for combination or oily skin, a hydrating formula for dry skin or tinted sun protection for a more even-looking finish.

Why should you wear sunscreen every day?

UV radiation does not only reach your skin during a sunny holiday. Your skin is also exposed to UVA radiation on cloudy days and during everyday activities.

Daily SPF helps:

• protect the skin against UVA and UVB radiation;
• prevent sunburn;
• limit premature skin ageing;
• prevent pigmentation from developing or becoming darker;
• maintain the results of a corrective skincare routine;
• protect the skin while using retinol, vitamin C and exfoliating acids.

Which PCA Skin SPF suits your skin?

PCA Skin Weightless Protection Broad Spectrum SPF 45

Weightless Protection Broad Spectrum SPF 45 has a lightweight, fast-absorbing texture and is particularly suitable for normal, combination and oily skin.

The formula does not feel heavy and can be worn underneath make-up every day. It is a good choice for anyone who wants high protection without a rich or greasy finish.

PCA Skin Hydrator Plus Broad Spectrum SPF 30

Hydrator Plus Broad Spectrum SPF 30 combines daily sun protection with hydrating care. This formula is particularly suitable for normal, dry, dehydrated or mature skin.

It helps prevent the skin from feeling dry or tight during the day and can be applied as the final step of the morning skincare routine.

PCA Skin Sheer Tint Broad Spectrum SPF 45

Sheer Tint Broad Spectrum SPF 45 is a tinted, water-resistant sunscreen. Its sheer tint helps the complexion appear more even and can be worn alone or underneath make-up.

This formula is ideal for anyone who wants to combine sun protection with a natural, lightly perfecting finish.

How do you apply PCA Skin sunscreen?

1. Cleanse and apply toner and serum if required.
2. Use a suitable moisturiser if needed.
3. Apply sunscreen generously to the face, neck, ears and décolletage.
4. Apply approximately 15 minutes before going outdoors.
5. Reapply at least every two hours during sun exposure.
6. Reapply after swimming, perspiring or towel drying.

Applying too little product provides less protection than the SPF stated on the packaging.

Sun protection and make-up

Allow the sunscreen to absorb for several minutes before applying make-up. PCA Skin Weightless Protection can be used as a lightweight base underneath make-up. Sheer Tint provides a sheer tint and may be worn without foundation on some days.

Make-up containing SPF does not generally replace a separate sunscreen because insufficient product is usually applied.

Sun protection with retinol, peels and pigmentation care

Do you use retinol, exfoliating acids, Acne Gel, vitamin C or products targeting pigmentation? Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen is then particularly important.

Apply intensive active ingredients preferably in the evening and always complete your morning routine with SPF. Avoid prolonged direct sun exposure and wear a hat or sunglasses when necessary.

Which SPF should you choose?

• Normal, combination or oily skin: Weightless Protection SPF 45.
• Dry, dehydrated or mature skin: Hydrator Plus SPF 30.
• Tinted, lightly perfecting protection: Sheer Tint SPF 45.
• Pigmentation or intensive corrective skincare: preferably choose the higher SPF 45 and reapply regularly.

The best sunscreen is one that suits your skin and that you are willing to apply generously every day.
