Tested for you: sun protection from skin expert Chris Farrell

With ever-increasing UV exposure and growing awareness of skin health, sun protection has become a daily component of a modern skincare routine. The sun protection factor (SPF) protects against the most harmful UV rays. UVA light penetrates deep into the skin, promoting wrinkles, pigmentation spots, and skin cancer. UVB causes sunburn and can also lead to skin cancer.

New: Sun protection from Chris Farrell Cosmetics

Drawing on decades of experience, CFC has now launched a Sun Protect line that not only consists of SPF formulas, but also contains active ingredients that accelerate skin tanning or tan without any sun exposure. Aloe vera and plant-based glycerin play a particularly important role in the nourishing formulations.

un Protect SPF 30 for face and body is extremely light, easy to apply, and quickly absorbed. With a combination of innovative UV filters, it not only provides effective protection against the sun’s rays, but its nourishing ingredients also provide the skin with intensive moisture. If you have a very fair complexion or are prone to sunburn, always choose a high protection factor.

Ideally, sunscreen should be applied 20 to 30 minutes before sun exposure. Clothing provides additional protection. This is especially true between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., when the sun’s rays are strongest. It is also important to reapply sunscreen regularly, especially after swimming or sweating.

Tanning faster

Sun Tan Booster helps the skin tan faster and more intensely by stimulating the body’s own melanin production. At the same time, the skin receives sufficient moisture to remain supple and ensure an even tan. Apply Sun Tan Booster evenly to the skin before sunbathing. It is ideal for faster tanning with less sun exposure.

Quick Bronzer combines self-tanning ingredients with potent moisturizing substances. The light texture is easy to apply and leaves no streaks or unpleasant residue. It also avoids the dreaded red or yellow tinge associated with artificial tanning.
