You can’t start using sun protection too soon!

Starting in early spring, incorporate and use appropriate sunscreen which is essential in our daily natural and healthy skin care routine.


Regardless of the season, the facial sunscreen always receives priority, meaning we shouldn’t only use sunscreen during the summer.  Sun protection made with mineral pigments, physical sunscreen creams are perfect alternatives to chemical sunscreens, since it not only protects skin, but it is also gentle on skin. The key question: how do you apply these mineral pigment containing sunscreen properly? Using your fingertips gently spread the cream, using tapping motions onto the surface of skin to be treated.


 The BIOLA sunscreen creams offer full protection that is safe for even the most sensitive skinned baby’s skin. BIOLA’s developing team has been avoiding the use of risky cosmetic ingredients since the beginning, and the sun protection creams were especially made, so that they offer complex protection, nourish and regenerate skin thanks to the beautifying, skin soothing herbal active ingredients! You can get a tan while using the strong sun protection ensuring physical mineral pigment containing sunscreen!


It is recommended to also protect skin that is accustomed to the sun

We offer the light coloured (V) marked slightly coloured tint for snow white, extra light/pale skin tones and babies while the intensively coloured with natural ingredients for darker coloured skin tones that are accustomed to the sun, darker skin tones (S) option is available for each type of our sunscreens. The darker tone is for normal skin tones, who are used to the sun, while the lighter colour is best for babies and for snow white coloured skin. The snow white coloured adults and babies should definitely use the 50+ sunscreen for the first 5-7 days of sunbathing certified organic quality (Sea buckthorn Sunscreen- SPF 50)!

BIOLA organic cosmetic sunscreens aren’t made with nano sized mineral sun protecting pigments. Our sunscreens are coloured creams, its colour is from the beetroot, black raspberry, blackberry, other plant materials and iron oxide that are permitted to be used in cosmetics. Our Sunscreen creams offer full (UV-A and UV-B) skin protection when used as intended, this is why we can safely enjoy the sunshine!

 

Wise advice: if the UV index is higher than ( > 5 ), stay one third of the time in the sun than the time the SPF value recommends on the sunscreen.

 

The dark side of chemical sunscreens

Our product developer team would like to call to your attention, that it is recommended to avoid the use of chemical sunscreens by children and sensitive skinned adults, and to wait minimum 10 minutes after applying sunscreen onto skin to have enough time for it to absorb into skin to be able to protect skin properly. The chemical sunscreen molecules „break” due to the sun’s effect and turn into large energy free radicals which „drain” the skin’s antioxidant capacities; thus, the so-called skin aging process speeds up. Many studies deal with chemical sunscreen reaching the bloodstream and the practically unpredictable health risks.

 

Natural, physical sun protection’s proper use

Let’s see, how we can fit BIOLA sunscreen use into our daily facial skin care routine! First step is to thoroughly cleanse your face with a skin friendly cleanser, then if you don’t want to use a face cream, leave your skin slightly damp. The dosage is very important. A tiny, approximately pea sized amount of cream needs to be thoroughly spread on your finger tips. You will be surprised, how little is needed to be used of the organic sunscreen on face and neck. Always start with a small amount, then gradually add to it if necessary.

 

Warning! The most important part of using mineral pigment containing creams and sunscreen during usage is the application. Carefully spread the cream onto skin using „tapping/patting” motions.

 

 So never spread organic sunscreen onto skin like other face creams, rather use tiny „tapping”, „patting” motions to disperse on the skin area intended to be protected.

 

Don’t forget, to thoroughly apply and „pat” the nose, forehead and chin areas with 2,5-3 ml quantity of sunscreen intended for face area. If necessary, don’t forget to reapply the sunscreen every 2-3 hours, especially if near waterside or in case of sweating, or if you spend a lot of time in the sun without taking breaks. Never apply sunscreen onto dry skin but rather always apply it onto slightly damp skin or face with skin cream on it.
