The sun: our friend who wants the best for us! And yet who can also harm us… Yes, because like all good things, it should not be abused. Of course, the sun is good for our morale, provides us with our dose of vitamin D and gives us a nice tan. So many benefits!
But it also sends us two types of UV rays that are not always pleasant… UVB rays are responsible for sunburn, redness and skin burns, while UVA rays, which penetrate deeper, cause premature skin ageing, wrinkles and pigmentation spots. What’s more, UVA and UVB rays together are a major factor in the development of skin cancer.
The best way to protect yourself from the sun while enjoying its benefits is, of course, to wear clothing, a hat and sunglasses, and to apply sunscreen to areas that cannot be covered (especially the nose, ears and neck). In addition, babies and young children should not be exposed to direct sunlight. As for avoiding the hottest hours of the day, this is advisable but sometimes difficult for athletes to comply with when conditions are ideal for training!
Let’s say it again: the reflection of the sun’s rays on snow can reach 90% for fresh snow, compared to only 10% for sand or 20% for the sea. And we are exposed to UV rays even when it is grey, because different types of clouds do not filter the sun’s rays in the same way.
Yes, but here’s the thing: the waves are there, the wind is perfect, the sun is shining or the snow has just fallen… You can’t sit still. So even if you know you should ‘avoid exposure between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m.’, how can you resist? It’s difficult… So do your best and use JEEWIN! With our products specifically designed for extreme conditions, they will protect you effectively during your sessions.
Whether you’re in the mountains or in the water, summer or winter, enjoy your outdoor activity in a reasonable and well-protected way, so that sport remains a pleasure by avoiding as many inconveniences as possible.
It is important to note that sunscreen products do not provide complete protection from UV rays. In fact, you can still tan even when wearing SPF50 sunscreen! They contain UVA-UVB filters that protect against both UVA and UVB rays, thereby slowing down the harmful effects of the sun.
UVB protection is indicated by the SPF. The higher the SPF, the greater the protection. However, in Europe, the maximum value is limited to ‘50+’ because tests have failed to demonstrate any additional protection beyond this number. UVA protection must be at least one third (1/3) of UVB protection in order to comply with European cosmetics regulations. This is indicated on products by a small round symbol with ‘UVA’ inside.
Finally, it is important to note that sunscreens are only truly effective if they are used in sufficient quantities and reapplied frequently, especially after swimming or drying off, in order to maintain protection. Applying SPF50 in the morning and then spending the whole day in the sun without reapplying cream will not prevent you from getting sunburned.
We have designed our JEEWIN suncare products to meet the needs of sports enthusiasts, while complying with European cosmetics regulations and the latest known precautions regarding marine ecotoxicity. Our UVA-UVB sun protection products for the face and body are water and sweat resistant. They do not damage coral as they are formulated without the two chemical filters ‘oxybenzone’ and “octinoxate” identified as harmful (and banned in Hawaii). They contain non-nano (nanoparticle-free) mineral filters ‘zinc oxide’ and ‘titanium dioxide’.
We have even decided to go further than the regulations require! We also avoid possible causes of allergies, which is why our sunscreens are free from fragrance, allergens and alcohol, ensuring they are as well tolerated as possible. They are therefore suitable for adults, children and all skin types, even sensitive skin.
Our other products, designed for use after sun exposure, have richer textures and contain essential oils to enhance their anti-inflammatory, soothing and moisturising effects.
We will continue to adapt our JEEWIN formulas regularly, in line with your sporting requirements and the latest cosmetic regulations as scientific advances are made. All this is done to ensure the safety of both people and the ocean. And to respect the environment, our products are always manufactured in France in recyclable packaging without unnecessary outer packaging.
