The best sunscreens for your skin

Enjoying the sun and showing off that tan that inevitably makes you more attractive without it becoming a problem for your skin and health is possible, thanks to the recommendations and sun care selection we have chosen for you.

Sun exposure is a source of lifethat provides us with the vitamin D our body needs, and people do need to spend time outdoors. However, it is a double-edged sword, as doing so without the necessarypreventive measuresor for too long can bring very serious problems to our health. That is why we want to talk to you about thebest sunscreens for adults according to skin type.

Experts say that we should applysunscreensevery day of the year, even if we are not going to the beach or it is a cloudy day. This is becauseultraviolet radiationcan negatively affect the skin without us realising it, and cause certain problems such as premature skin ageing, dark spots or cancer.

To avoid these kinds of side effects caused by the sun, it is advisable to avoid exposure during the main hours of the day, use goodsunscreensdaily and limit the hours we spend under its direct influence. Here you will discover thebest sunscreensso that your beach days are completely safe.

A sun care product for every need

Cream, spray, oil, stick for sensitive areas, lip stick, mist or aftersun are some of the products with different levels of protection, so that sun exposure does not become a visible problem for our skin and our body.

For those of you with acne, psoriasis, atopic or allergy-prone skin, do not worry. Sunbathing in MODERATION can help positively to reduce symptoms and effects. But be careful! do not forget the most important thing: sunscreen.

In this case, what we recommend most is the Anthelios range from La Roché Posay, one of the most advanced dermatological brands on the market, which has developedAnthelios Shaka Fluidto protect these skin types against the sun's rays. What is more, it is fragrance-free, does not sting, is ultra-resistant and includes SPF 50+. You can also find this same product with colour if you are looking for a natural finish.

In the case of sensitive skin that needs a soothing and antioxidant action, that refreshes and absorbs quickly, but at the same time is water-resistant, this laboratory has launched theBruma Facial Invisible de Anthelios, with SPF 50+ that acts against UVA and UVB rays.

Protecting those sensitive areas that we always forget to ‘slather’ in cream or that simply need special care, such as moles, scars or lips, is now easier with theStick Zonas Sensibles de La Roché Posay. A protective stick with SPF 50+ that acts as a sunblock, as well as being water-resistant and formulated without fragrance or parabens.

For those looking for that satin effect on the skin, Caudalie has created a new product, the Beautifying Sun Oil, with SPF 30 protection, alcohol-free and silicone-free, to show off radiant skin after sun exposure, but above all, more hydrated and nourished.

This dermatological laboratory has other products for facial and body beauty and care, such as theAnti-Wrinkle Facial Sun Cream, with two protection levels, SPF 30 and SPF 50. A ‘must have’ that, besides protecting and moisturising, fights and reduces the appearance of wrinkles. The enemy of sun lovers.

On the other hand, what we are about to tell you next is aimed at those who think it is enough to protect ourselves from the sun's rays only when we are exposed to them; wrong! It is just as important to protect and care for the skin afterwards. Helping to moisturise and nourish it, toughen it and show off a more even and longer-lasting tan is achieved with so-called Aftersun products, which, as their very name suggests, have properties that act on the skin after exposure.

Protection beyond the sun

This is what theAftersunfrom Apivita does, formulated with patented propolis extract, sea lavender, organic almond oil, fig extract, cucumber extract and green tea water. This combination creates a very fresh and light gel-cream texture that refreshes the skin, while also protecting it from free radicals and photoageing.

Keeping an eye on the skin is essential if we sunbathe, but doing the same for our hair is too. It does not matter whether your hair is straight, curly, oily, dry, normal or coloured, protecting it from solar radiation should be almost an obligation. This is done through products that cover it, such as caps, turbans, hats or scarves, and solar hair protectors, such asSuncare Protective Hair, which has been developed by Apivita to help you show off healthy, nourished and shiny hair.

This protective hair oil, whose formula is made up of sunflower and grape seed, enhances the hair's natural colour and gives it a glossy effect without weighing it down. At the same time, it moisturises and protects against UVA and UVB rays. Different dermatological brands.

The best sunscreens for adults

Sunscreensare products that are generally dispensed in atopical useformat. They are spread over the skin andcreate a barrieron it to protect it from ultraviolet radiation. It is recommended to apply them at least half an hour before sun exposure and reapply them every two hours regularly. Afterwards, it is advisable to moisturise the skin well with creams designed for this purpose or withafter sunproducts.

The formats and formulas of these products can vary greatly. The most common thing is for them to be sold in cream or sun oil textures and for their formulations to suit a specificskin type. We go into more detail about sun protectionin this article.
