The benefits of UVA protection

In addition to mild cleansing and moisturizing, sun protection is one of the three essential components of skin care. Why UVA protection is so important:

Slow aging

UV radiation is the most significant extrinsic factor in skin aging (photoaging). UVA rays penetrate deeper into the skin than UVB rays. In the dermis (deeper layer of the skin), they cause DNA damage, inhibit immune cells, and degenerate fibroblasts, which are responsible for the synthesis of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. The consequences are dryness, impaired barrier function, loss of elasticity, wrinkles and fine lines, as well as a rough and dull skin texture. Regular sun protection is the most effective way to slow down aging and the best prevention against premature skin aging.

Hyperpigmentation

UVA rays can cause excessive and uneven skin pigmentation. New skin, especially after injuries or similar events, is prone to acne scars (PIH: post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation). During pregnancy, skin is also particularly sensitive and susceptible to hyperpigmentation. To prevent such skin changes, consistent sun protection with high UVA protection is essential.

Skin health

While it was once thought that only the shorter-wavelength UVB rays caused sunburn and skin cancer, science now knows better. UVA rays also play a role. Therefore, a minimum UVA protection level of one-third of the SPF is currently recommended in the EU. The UVA Booster exceeds this recommendation by a factor of five. Furthermore, UV rays are often triggers for acne, rosacea, and allergies. Comprehensive sun protection is essential to support skin health.
