Children are particularly vulnerable to the effects of UV radiation and often spend more time outdoors than adults. For more than 70 years PIZ BUIN ® has been providing holiday lovers everywhere with uncompromising protection so they can get a beautiful tan, whilst Practising Safer Sun. To be classified as offering broad-spectrum protection, a sunscreen product needs to absorb or reflect at least 90% of the UV rays from the 290 to 400 nanometres (nm) wavelength range. All PIZ BUIN ® suncare products contain our advanced UVA/UVB sun protection to ensure you get effective sun protection.

In reality, the time depends, among other factors, on your skin phototype and the local UV intensity.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. A "photostable" sunscreen is able to withstand the effects of UV exposure better, so it keeps its level of protection. For over 70 years, PIZ BUIN ® has been providing sun lovers everywhere with suncare solutions that help them achieve the perfect balance between getting a beautiful tan and the protection they need. Working with his wife, Marga, a trained beautician, they developed a specialist suncare brand dedicated to developing cutting edge sun protection with luxurious skincare for anyone who wanted to enjoy life in the sun.

Chemical filters work by absorbing UV light and converting it to higher wavelength rays that are less harmful to the skin. Try to avoid intense midday sun from 11:00am and 3:00pm during the summer months or when on holiday in tropical countries. Tanning fades progressively, but remember that people with a natural suntan also need to apply sunscreen, as a tan does not provide sufficient protection from UV exposure. 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.Unlike immediate pigmentation, actual tanning does help protect against the harmful effects of UV radiation.
