How to choose
Here you’ll find everything for the sun: protection for face, body and lips, sun oil, tanning boosters and after-sun, from brands including Institut Esthederm, PCA Skin, this is us., Mokosh and Self.
Get the most out of the sun:
- Prepare: moisturise your skin in the days before you leave and exfoliate 1 to 2 days ahead. Want to tan faster? Start a few days earlier with a tanning booster.
- Protect: apply your sun protection at least 20 minutes before going out and reapply every 2 hours, also after swimming. With sensitive skin or sun allergy, choose a mineral formula. For your face choose a face SPF, for your lips a lip balm with SPF.
- Boost: a sun oil with SPF or a tanning booster, never without protection.
- Recover: after showering, apply an after-sun to slightly damp skin and drink enough water.

Who helps you?
I'm Ellen, the Ellen behind LLN.beauty (say it as Ellen beauty). Beauty therapist since 2003, with my online beauty store since 2008. In 2019 I trained in orthomolecular therapy at KPNI, to tackle skin problems from the inside as well.
For years I treated clients in my salon. I stopped, because a treatment only works for a short while. Lasting results come from the basics you do yourself at home. That's why I now help you with a routine you'll actually stick to.
