Solar water! A must for safe tanning?
What is solar water?
This is a sun protection product that uses a water-based formulation rather than the traditional oil- or cream-based one. The advantage of this formulation is that it is often lighter and less oily on the skin (but not always as we shall see), making it more comfortable to wear, especially in warm weather.
Like all sun protection products, it should be applied as follows generously and reapplied regularly, especially after swimming or perspiring.
SVR solar water
It took SVR 4 years of research to invent the ideal filtering combination that delivers both very high sun protection and respect for the marine environment. But what is it really worth?
More
3 recent filters: UVINUL A PLUS, TINOSORB S and UVINUL T150. I find this sun water very practical to use!
Minus
It can stain light-colored clothing. Despite its SPF 50+, I don't find it strong enough to use on the beach in full sun. You need to shake it well to ensure that the two phases are perfectly blended, and don't hesitate to apply a generous dose.
My opinion on this solar water!
If you're looking for a sun protection extremely strong, this solar water may not meet your needs. However, if your aim is to relax on the beach while developing a subtle tan, then this solar water could be a suitable option for you.
Detailed composition of SVR sun water
Here are a few tips for using sunscreen at the beach!
- Apply sunscreen before arriving at the beach Apply 15 to 30 minutes before exposure to the sun to allow your skin to absorb it properly.
- Use sufficient protection The SPF (sun protection factor) must be at least 50 for maximum protection. Sunscreen must also protect against UVA and UVB rays.
- Apply sunscreen generously You can never use enough sunscreen!
- Reapply regularly It's important to reapply sunscreen every two hours and immediately after swimming or perspiring, even if the product is water-resistant.
- Don't forget the areas that are often neglected Ears, neck, back of hands and feet are often forgotten. Be sure to apply sunscreen to these areas.
- Protect your eyes too Sunglasses are a must to protect your eyes from harmful UV rays. Make sure your sunglasses block the majority of UVA and UVB rays.
- Don't forget that sunscreen is not a complete protection. Even with sunscreen, it's best to avoid the sun between 10am and 4pm, when UV rays are strongest. Protective clothing, wide-brimmed hats and shade are also important elements of sun protection.
- Fine moisturize your skin in the evening after the beach!
