10 TIPPS FÜR DAS BAD IN DER SONNE

Good rays, bad rays!
The ultraviolet radiation (UV light) contained in sunlight stimulates the vitamin D production in your body, and provides sun tan - but of course also has dangerous side effects. To prevent temporary and permanent damage to the skin, the use of sunscreen is essential!

Cloudy effect!
Thin clouds are a deceptive protection against the sun's rays. Although the skin reacts immediately and we feel the difference in temperature, the power of the sun rays is only minimally mitigated. In worst case scattered rays can even increase the stress on the skin.

Highest discipline required!
Altitude increases the radiation dose in the UV range. There is a very simple rule: for every 1000 meters of altitude, the sun's radiant power increases by 10 percent. So be especially careful when sunbathing at mountain lakes or skiing in winter snow, which also reflects the sunlight!

Attention when swimming!
Caution, UV radiation also has an effect in the water. Even half a meter below the surface, 40 percent of the effect is still measured. Swimming, snorkeling or splashing around may be refreshing, but the power of the sun should never be underestimated in the water. Fortunately, GYMPER SunProtect 50+ is waterproof!

A question of type!
Six different skin types are defined for UV sensitivity. To clarify this seriously, we recommend the test here https://bit.ly/GYMPERhilft

Be vigilant!
When it comes to sun protection, it's all about your skin. However, you must not forget about a suitable UV barrier for your eyes. Pay attention to the "UV-400" label and tint levels of 2 or 3. So only go into the sun with the right glasses!

Problem area, olé!
Everyone has them, no one likes to talk about them. But when it comes to sun protection, we can address the topic quite casually. If you're smart, when applying a high-quality sunscreen like GYMPER Sun Protect 50+, you check places like: the ears, the nose, especially the nostrils, the scalp, the back of the feet, the upper lip and the décolleté. Because since Achilles we know: The best protection is the one without a gap.

Not too little, not too rarely!
Just be generous when applying cream, rather more than too little. And you should reapply it after two hours at the latest - your skin says thank you!

UV, what?
The UV index is issued by the Federal Office for Radiation Protection every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Protection is required for a UV index of 3 to 7, and protection is absolutely necessary for a value of 8 or more. https://bit.ly/GYMPERUVindex

Courage to be patient!
Anyone who turns sunbathing into a test of courage is doing everything wrong. Healthy and sensible tanning is the way to go. No exaggerations! No experiments! No carelessness! But always sufficient protection, then the summer sun is our friend!
