Piz Buin Tan and Protect Tan Accelerating Oil Spray SPF 6 Low 150ml

Product Information

If you do end up overdoing it in the sun, do not fear! A cooling aftersun will work to relieve any inflammation and help to heal your sunburn. From your favourite suncare brands like Malibu and Nivea, Savers have a range of aftersun products with skin hydrating ingredients such as aloe vera and avocado oil that’ll help to soothe and nourish burnt skin. You can decrease your protection level step-by-step during your holiday as soon as your skin has produced its own defence system: the tan. After a few days of effective protection, try moving from a high protection product to a medium one. But remember that people with a natural suntan also need to apply sunscreen as a tan does not provide sufficient protection from UV exposure. Also bear in mind, that the SPF level you need largely depends on your skin phototype and the local UV intensity.

To protect the skin, sunscreen uses UV filters that absorb radiation from the sun. When a sunscreen is exposed to this radiation, it can alter the chemical structure of the UV filters, thus degrading their protective capabilities. Different skin types react to the sun in different ways, so the type of skin you have influences how long you can stay in the sun and what types of sunscreen you need.

Overexposure to the sun can threaten your health, so avoid staying out in the sun too long, even when using a sunscreen.

Almost all* PIZ BUIN ® sun protection products range from being water resistant to extra water resistant like our PIZ BUIN WET SKIN ® Transparent Sun Spray. In general, the higher the SPF number of your sunscreen, the greater the protection, so an SPF 6 or 10 offers low protection, SPF 15, 20 or 25 offers medium protection, SPF 30 or 50 offers high protection, and SPF 50+ offers very high protection. This is measured using a standardised test.Physical filters reflect, transmit or partially absorb light and can protect against both UVA and UVB radiation. The two most common physical filters are titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.
