SUN PROTECTION - YES! But HOW?

The BABOR rule is: Cleanse - Care - Protect

Sun protection is always the final step in the skincare routine. Only make-up can be applied on top.

BABOR offers 2 different UV protection systems:

1. Mineral UV protection

Lays pleasantly soft on the skin and reflects UV radiation.

Application: Always use at the end of your skincare routine.

2. Chemical UV protection

Penetrates the uppermost layer of the skin, where it absorbs UV rays and converts them into heat or light energy.

Application: Chemical filters must penetrate the skin in order to fully develop their protective effect;
therefore, only light, preferably oil-free serums and day creams should be applied beforehand.

This means that mineral UV protection can be applied over any DOCTOR BABOR product.

Some products in this guide are marked with this icon:

These care products are incredibly lightweight, and some are even oil-free.
Consequently, you can apply a chemical sunscreen on top of them after they have been absorbed.
Their lightweight nature ensures that the filter can effectively penetrate the skin for optimal protection.

Black Pepper Extract, Manuka Oil and Magnolia Bark	- impurities are often associated with increased androgen levels.

The extract reduces the expression of 5-alpha-reductase and the production of inflammatory mediators. → Normalizes sebum production, inhibits bacterial growth, and soothes the skin
