Sunscreens

Sun protection products are the category where making the right choice truly matters: adequate SPF, broad spectrum, and a texture that is pleasant to use make the difference between protected skin and sunburn. In this section, you will find all products with a protection factor: face and body, every SPF, every format — creams, lotions, sprays, sticks.

How to choose sun protection

Three checks on the label. The SPF, tailored to skin type and exposure: fair skin and first exposures require 50+, and you can only go down gradually. The circled UVA logo: ensures protection against photoaging rays, which are present all year round and through clouds. The water resistance, if use involves swimming and sweating. Then the texture: the best protection is the one you will actually reapply — fluid lotion, spray, or stick depending on habits and areas.

The rule that decides everything: a generous amount (for an adult's body, you need the equivalent of a shot glass) and reapplication every two hours and after every swim.

Frequently Asked Questions

SPF 30 or 50: does it really make a difference?

They filter approximately 97% and 98% of UVB respectively: the real difference is the margin of error in actual application, which is always imperfect. On fair skin, 50+ is the cautious choice.

Chemical or mineral filters?

Both are effective and safe according to regulations: mineral filters are often preferred for sensitive skin and children, while chemical filters excel in texture and transparency.

Does last year's protection still work?

Within the indicated PAO (usually 12 months from opening) and if well stored, yes; if separated, changed in smell, or left in the sun at the beach, replace it.
