Pigment changes? Prefer tinted sunscreen
Tinted sunscreen is the best choice for skin prone to pigment changes
Pigment changes and melasma are familiar and challenging skin problems for many. But did you know that a tinted physical sunscreen that contains iron oxides can provide significant additional protection against these? Iron oxides not only improve the effectiveness of sun protection, but they also protect your skin more effectively from visible light, which can worsen the appearance of pigmentation changes.
Visible light can cause erythema, i.e. redness, and hyperpigmentation. Broad-spectrum sunscreens effectively protect against ultraviolet radiation, but not enough against visible light.
In addition to UVA and UVB radiation, pigment changes are caused by visible light and heat. In order for sunscreen to also protect against visible light, it must be visible on the skin.
The importance of iron oxides in tinted sunscreens
Iron oxides are the minerals that give tinted sunscreen products their color. Here are some ways that iron oxides improve the effectiveness of sunscreen:
- Added protection from visible light (VL): Iron oxides are particularly effective in protecting the skin from the harmful effects of visible light (VL). Visible light is the part of sunlight that can penetrate deeper into the skin and cause pigment changes, especially in people prone to melasma
- Broad-spectrum protection: Physical sunscreens that contain tintable iron oxides provide broad-spectrum protection that covers both UVA and UVB radiation and also visible light. This makes them even more effective than products containing only zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide
- Prevention of pigmentation changes: Thanks to iron oxides, tinted sunscreen can help prevent the appearance of new pigmentation changes and reduce the darkening of existing pigmentation changes. This is especially important for melasma sufferers, as their skin is particularly sensitive to sunlight, visible light and heat
Why choose tinted physical sunscreen and day cream, Tinted Day Cream SPF 35 ?
- Broadly protects against UVA and UVB radiation
- More effective protection against visible light, which can stimulate the formation of pigmentation changes, freckles and melasma
- The tinted formula helps even out the skin tone and creates a natural, plump finish
- Physical sunscreens are gentle and suitable for sensitive skin
So if your skin is particularly prone to pigment changes and melasma, we highly recommend trying the Tinted Day Cream SPF 35 day cream. It not only protects your skin from the sun, but also helps maintain a more even and brighter skin tone. It is a more effective option for your skin than the untinted version Advanced Day Cream SPF 35
Use alone as a naturally tinted day cream or apply under makeup if you need more coverage. Make-up base does not prevent the use of this product 🤎
Tip! You get the best combination against pigmentation changes by combining Vitamin C + Calcium Complex and Tinted Day Cream SPF 35 in your morning treatment!
