Nivea Sun – the right sun care for all skin types.

Why is sun protection so important?

Melanin is a body's own pigment, which gives our skin the beautiful tan, but much important: Melanin protects our skin from harmful UV rays. But that alone is not enough when sunbathing - so applying cream with the right sun protection is particularly important. The protective effect of sun protection products is based on the UV filters. These reflect or absorb most of the UV radiation and thus extend the skin's own protection time.

Nivea Sun - reliable sun protection.

All Nivea sun protection products protect against UVA and UVB rays immediately after application. Important: When applying cream, you should not forget the so-called sun terraces such as shoulders, cheeks, head, nose bridge and ears. Our tip: Apply again every two hours to maintain the protective effect. There are waterproof protection, products for sun-sensitive skin or sun protection products especially suitable for toddlers from the first year of age. Just try what is best for your needs. For all: The skin compatibility of Nivea Sun products is dermatologically tested.

Which sun protection factor is the right one?

Light skin generally requires a higher sun protection factor (SPF) than tanned. If you cannot clearly identify your skin type and do not know how intense the sunlight is on this day and in that region, you would prefer a higher protection (SPF 30-50). So you can effectively protect your skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation such as sunburn, premature skin ageing or in the worst case skin cancer.

How do I best care for my skin after sunbathing?

Even after sunbathing, your skin needs healthy care: After Sun products are specially designed to meet the needs of sun-kissed skin, provide them with sufficient moisture, have a cooling effect and make your skin soft and supple again. Therefore, even after sunbathing: Don't forget to apply the cream.
