Sunscreen with collagen - yes or no?

Recent years have seen significant advances in the study of skin care and what it needs to be healthy and looking good. More and more brands are developing new cosmetic products that combine several different functions. The Sun Like family has also been actively growing over the years and the product range is constantly expanding and renewing. The mission of the brand is safe protection and fast but healthy tan.

The topic of products combining UV filters with collagen is becoming increasingly popular. This intriguing combination is attracting the attention of many, promising not only protection from harmful UV rays, but also skin nourishment. Today we will learn more about collagen and look at the benefits of sunscreens enriched with hyaluronic acid and collagen. We'll help you understand how this type of sun protection will improve the health and appearance of your skin.

Sun protection - basic functions and principles

The sun emits three types of ultraviolet rays, but thanks to the ozone layer, only two of them reach the earth's surface: UVA and UVB. The first type penetrates deep into the skin, causing signs of premature aging, and the second is a major cause of burns. Both types increase the risk of skin cancer.

Sun protection is of primary importance for the health and beauty of our skin, as it protects us to a large extent from the unwanted effects of the sun's rays. Regular use of quality products ensures that:

- prevent the appearance of pigment spots;

- limit the signs of premature aging;

- protect against burns;

- reduce the risk of melanoma;

A good sunscreen should have a sufficiently high SPF factor and broad-spectrum UV filters that block both types of harmful rays. Some products also contain antioxidants that further protect the skin from free radicals. For optimal results, it is important to choose the right sunscreen for our skin type.

What is collagen?

Collagen is a major structural protein that makes up about 30% of the proteins in the body. It is a component of our muscles, bones, cartilage and skin. It plays a key role in the strength and elasticity of the skin, maintaining its structure and hydration.

Stimulates skin cells, fibroblasts, to produce new collagen and repair damaged tissue. This is especially important after exposure to the sun, which subjects the skin to oxidative stress and damages it.

Collagen in mature skin

As we age, our body's natural production of collagen decreases. This causes wrinkles, sagging skin and greater vulnerability to damage. Topical application or supplementation of collagen can stimulate the skin to restore some of its lost structure.

Collagen in cosmetic products supports skin regeneration. It creates a protective film that preserves moisture and enhances its elasticity. Thus, it remains soft and hydrated, even after contact with UV rays.

Sun protection with collagen in Sun Like Two-phase Lotions

The purpose of the combination of broad-spectrum UV filters and collagen is to provide comprehensive skin care. Thus, a sunscreen product achieves excellent protection from the sun's rays, deep nourishment and hydration. It improves the structure of the skin and slows down the aging processes caused by the sun.

For this reason, Sun Like specialists have developed two-phase sunscreen lotions. They are distinguished by their ultra-light texture, short absorption time and the ability to be applied to both dry and wet skin.

The innovative formula of Sun Like Two-phase Lotions consists of two consistencies. The water phase protects against drying and refreshes, and the oil phase protects the skin from the sun. The product does not leave a greasy film, which makes its application extremely easy and pleasant.

Two-phase lotions are enriched not only with collagen, but also with hyaluronic acid - a substance naturally synthesized by our body, capable of retaining a huge amount of water.

Hyaluronic acid has the ability to hydrate and fill fine lines, resulting in smoother, softer and firmer skin. It is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

Choose your preferred protective factor and experience for yourself the beneficial effect of the combination of collagen and hyaluronic acid.

Regardless of your choice of sun protection factor from Sun Like Two-phase Lotions, the most important thing is to use the product regularly and correctly. Apply liberally between 15 and 30 minutes before sun exposure. Do not forget to renew the protection every two hours - this way you will provide your skin with the best care and enjoy the sunny days in peace.
