Spray? Liquid? Cream?

Using an appropriate sunscreen for your skin type and doing it daily guarantees not only saving burns and redness, but also the appearance of future spots and wrinkles. What the skin has memory of is completely true. If you don't protect her today, you may suffer the consequences at the same moment, but also tomorrow . At the end of the day, sunscreen is the best anti-aging cream on the market and we do not say it, but all the dermatologists in the world. But which one to choose?
- The first clue : it must have a high SPF (sun protection factor), minimum 30. You will also find the label on the packaging with the acronym SPF (Sun Protection Factor).
- The second clue: make sure that its protection is of a high spectrum and that it not only protects from ultraviolet rays, but also from infrared rays, which act deeper in the skin and cause cellular damage. The former appear on the packaging as UVA and UVB; and the seconds with the initials IR.
A sunscreen for every problem
- Anti-wrinkle . They are the main enemy to combat and that is that wrinkles are caused not only by the natural aging of the skin, but directly by solar action. If you already have some expression lines, choose a specific one with anti-aging action such as the Cellular Protect Cream from L'Oréal Paris.
- Sensitive skin. Does the sun give you pimples, irritation, swelling …? You have to apply a specific cream for solar intolerances like Anthelios Sun Intolerance from La Roche Posay and if it has a very high SPF, the better.
- Avoid stains . That the sun produces spots we are all clear, right? So there is no excuse not to try to prevent them with specific sunscreens such as Apivita's anti-stain facial sun cream with color and SPF 50+ which, if you already have a stain, helps to unify the tone.
- For those with pimples. The sun, contrary to popular belief, does not cure acne, it makes it worse. At first you may have the sensation that they dry, but later more pimples appear. To prevent that from happening, use a specific one for your skin type such as Ideal Soleil Anti-Imperfections from Vichy.
