Protecting scars without giving up the ocean
Marie’s story
After surgery, a scar remains fragile in the sun. When exposed to UV rays, it can become permanently pigmented and leave lasting marks. This is an even harder challenge to manage when you love water activities, where sunscreen can have its limits.
This is the story of Marie, who underwent several hand operations and was looking for effective protection for her scars. She agreed to share her experience to help others facing the same situation.
“I had several hand operations, and no pharmacy was able to help me find protection for my scars. Creams are nice, but they are not enough when you do a water activity...”
The solution she found
UV protection gloves to protect her hand in the water
After a double open fracture of the wrist and multiple fractures in her hand, Marie needed reliable protection, including in the water, where sunscreen can wear off. She discovered Ker Sun a year ago and adopted our UV protection gloves.
“I discovered your brand online last year, and I still use your gloves today. My scars look beautiful. Thank you for creating products for us.”
The result
Returning to the ocean without fear
Thanks to her UV protection gloves, Marie was able to reconnect with what she loves: water, fresh air and outdoor activities, without worrying about poor scar healing or permanent marks left by the sun.
“Thanks to the gloves, I was able to go back to the ocean and enjoy being outdoors, without fearing poor healing or lifelong indelible marks... I will have some, but not because of the sun!”
