Sun protection is an essential part of our skin care routine, especially in the warmer months. But who says we always have to rely on chemical products for this? Nature offers us a variety of oils that not only nourish but can also provide natural protection against the sun. In this article, I would like to introduce you to some of these wonderful natural oils.
Many plant oils have natural sunscreen properties that can help protect skin from the harmful effects of the sun's rays. Here are some of the best natural oils you can use for sun protection:
Raspberry seed oil
Raspberry seed oil is a true miracle oil with a natural sun protection factor (SPF) of up to 40. It is rich in essential fatty acids and vitamin E, which protect the skin not only from the sun but also from free radicals. It also has an anti-inflammatory effect and can help with skin irritations.
Carrot oil
Carrot oil contains beta-carotene, which gives the skin a natural SPF of up to 30. It supports the regeneration of the skin and ensures an even complexion. Carrot oil is also known for its anti-aging properties and is therefore particularly suitable for mature skin.
Wheat germ oil
Wheat germ oil has a natural SPF of up to 20. It is rich in vitamins and antioxidants that protect and nourish the skin. This oil is especially good for dry and sensitive skin as it deeply hydrates and strengthens the skin barrier.
Coconut oil
Coconut oil offers a light natural SPF of up to 8. Although it does not provide adequate protection for prolonged sun exposure on its own, it can be used as a base oil or in combination with other oils. Coconut oil is also an excellent moisturizer and helps keep skin supple.
olive oil
When we think of olive oil, we often think of Mediterranean cuisine. But this liquid gold has much more to offer than just culinary delights. Olive oil is a true miracle cure for skin care and even offers natural sun protection. Olive oil is rich in vitamins and antioxidants that nourish and protect the skin. It contains a natural sun protection factor (SPF) of up to 8, which is not enough for long periods in the blazing sun, but still has a protective effect, especially in everyday life.
Hazelnut oil
Chilean hazelnut oil (Corylus avellana) is a versatile and effective oil that not only nourishes but also provides light sun protection. It is an excellent addition to your daily skincare routine. Hazelnut oil is a light, fast-absorbing oil that is rich in vitamins and essential fatty acids. It offers a natural sun protection factor (SPF) of up to 14, making it ideal for daily protection from light sun exposure.
Natural oils are a wonderful way to protect and care for your skin naturally. While they may not offer the highest sun protection, they are ideal for everyday use and a great addition to your regular sun protection routine. Try it out and discover the power of nature for your skin!
