No sunscreen product enjoys greater trust amongst medical and dermatological experts than Daylong. And with good reason, because Daylong achieves the best results with all skin types. The correct choice of sunscreen, the intensity and length of exposure to the sun and the location are all decisive factors. It is also important that sunscreen is generously applied before exposure to the sun.

... and then children's skin ...
Unlike with adults, the protective mechanisms in children's skin are not yet fully developed. And as children spend much more time outdoors, their sensitive skin has to be especially well protected.
In addition to using the right sunscreen (c.f. MicroSun Baby SPF 30 and Daylong Kids SPF 30), it should be ensured that children wear the correct headwear, suitable clothing and sunglasses with 100% UV protection. Bear in mind that sunburn experienced in the first 20 years of a person's life markedly increases the risk of skin cancer! |
