Sadly, many <strong>surfers<\/strong> often forget sun protection. Yet our skin forgives nothing, and the sun\u2019s radiation is much more intense in the water due to reflection than <a href=\"https:\/\/travel-fuerteventura.com\/aktivitaeten-fuerteventura\/straende-fuerteventura\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">on the beach<\/a>. In the water there are several ways to <strong>protect<\/strong> yourself from the sun: wetsuits, lycras, hats and sunscreen.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">All of these come in many different versions and from various brands. So how are you supposed to know what the<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/utopia.de\/bestenlisten\/mineralische-bio-sonnencreme\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">best product<\/a><\/strong> is? In this blog post I\u2019d like to focus on one type of sun protection \u2013 <strong>sunscreen<\/strong> \u2013 and tell you a bit more about it.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Sonnenschutz-5.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Sun protection&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Sun protection&#8221; align_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; align_phone=&#8221;&#8221; align_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; z_index_tablet=&#8221;500&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;27px|0px|0|0px|false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index_tablet=&#8221;500&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_89 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/sun-protection-when-surfing\/#Differences_between_sunscreens\" >Differences between sunscreens<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/sun-protection-when-surfing\/#Chemical_UV_protection\" >Chemical UV protection<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/sun-protection-when-surfing\/#Mineral_UV_protection\" >Mineral UV protection<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/sun-protection-when-surfing\/#Surfers_and_sun_protection\" >Surfers and sun protection<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/sun-protection-when-surfing\/#Sun_protection_and_the_sea\" >Sun protection and the sea<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/sun-protection-when-surfing\/#So_which_sunscreen_should_I_buy\" >So which sunscreen should I buy?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/sun-protection-when-surfing\/#Think_of_the_oceans_and_nature_%E2%80%93_we_only_have_one_planet\" >Think of the oceans and nature \u2013 we only have one planet!<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Differences_between_sunscreens\"><\/span>Differences between sunscreens<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">If you spend a long time in the water, as you do when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/about-surfing\/\">surfing<\/a>, you should think about which sunscreen you use. Basically, there are sunscreens with chemical UV filters and those with mineral UV filters.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chemical_UV_protection\"><\/span>Chemical UV protection<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">With chemical sun protection, the skin absorbs the radiation and converts it into heat in the top layer of skin. That\u2019s why it often feels even warmer with sunscreen than without. Chemical sunscreen should also always be applied 20\u201330 minutes before sunbathing, and it needs constant reapplication. From an environmental point of view, chemical sunscreen should be avoided: its <strong>ingredients<\/strong> harm the beautiful corals we love to watch when snorkelling.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mineral_UV_protection\"><\/span>Mineral UV protection<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Mineral sun protection, also called physical sun protection, reflects the sun\u2019s radiation. This means the <strong>UV rays<\/strong> don\u2019t penetrate the skin but are reflected by the sunscreen first. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/ocean-driven-ein-film-der-unter-die-haut-geht\/\">film on the skin<\/a> works immediately and doesn\u2019t break down. This sunscreen doesn\u2019t cause allergies. Mineral sunscreen leaves a white film on the skin \u2013 and you could say the thicker the film, the higher the <strong>sun protection<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243;

The skin on the face is particularly thin and therefore very sensitive. In the water especially, the face is doubly exposed to the sun, because the water surface reflects the UV rays. That\u2019s why we need sun protection in the water that keeps UV rays away from our skin. Mineral sunscreens are particularly suitable for this. They are well tolerated and don\u2019t cause<strong> allergies<\/strong> . They also sit on the skin like a protective film and reflect the sun\u2019s rays before they reach the skin. They work immediately and need no time to take effect.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Otto_-1.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Snacking, surfing &amp; sunbathing&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Otto_&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sun_protection_and_the_sea\"><\/span>Sun protection and the sea<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Our oceans are getting dirtier and dirtier because many people don\u2019t take responsibility. Yet today it\u2019s so important to look after nature. The oceans are polluted by chemical sunscreen, as it washes off the skin and the pigments float around in the sea. The ingredients of chemical sunscreen attack the <strong>coral reefs<\/strong> of our oceans. Studies show that they endanger reefs and marine animals, e.g. through hormonal disruption in fish. That\u2019s why we recommend switching to mineral sunscreen, as it\u2019s considered the safest option for our <strong>oceans<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/sonnenschutz-beim-surfen.jpg\" width=\"1080\" height=\"600\" alt=\"sun protection while surfing\" class=\"wp-image-244288 alignnone size-full\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/sonnenschutz-beim-surfen.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/sonnenschutz-beim-surfen-980x544.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/sonnenschutz-beim-surfen-480x267.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1080px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"So_which_sunscreen_should_I_buy\"><\/span>So which sunscreen should I buy?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Mineral sunscreens<\/li>\n<li>Suntribe<\/li>\n<li>Seven One Percent<\/li>\n<li>EQ Sun Stick<\/li>\n<li>SWOX<\/li>\n<li>Surfyogis<\/li>\n<li>Eco Cosmetics<\/li>\n<li>Fuka Eri<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Salty||||||||&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;46px&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;Salty||||||||&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;50px&#8221; header_3_font_size_tablet=&#8221;50px&#8221; header_3_font_size_phone=&#8221;25px&#8221; header_3_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Think_of_the_oceans_and_nature_%E2%80%93_we_only_have_one_planet\"><\/span>Think of the oceans and nature \u2013 we only have one planet!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Sunshine guaranteed:<\/strong> At the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/surf-camp\/\">surf camp on Fuerteventura<\/a> in El Cotillo you can surf all year round in mild temperatures \u2013 with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/surfcamp-fuerteventura-deutsch\/\">German-speaking team<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Which sun protection should you use when surfing, and what should you generally watch out for in the sun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":299740,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32033],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-349176","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-environmental-protection-and-sustainability"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/349176","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=349176"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/349176\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":349180,"href":"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/349176\/revisions\/349180"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/299740"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=349176"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=349176"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=349176"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
