Choosing the best sun protection

Choosing the best sun protection Do you only let yourself be guided by the digit that precedes the SPF? That’s all well and good. You know your skin phototype and have calculated the approximate time it would take to develop solar erythema - sunburn - when facing the sun unprotected, but it is not enough. The difficult part - and you definitely need expert advice for this - is deciding between the different textures, added effects, and types of formulas that exist on the market. Below, we give you the keys to choosing the best photoprotector.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST SUNSCREEN

At Beldon, we want to help you. The main goal? That you don't burn and your skin doesn't suffer, but also that you get the most flattering, long-lasting tan and, in the process, tackle your main aesthetic concerns. We’re sorry, but the first rule is that you have to carry a facial sunscreen and a body sunscreen all summer long. And if you’re spending the summer with family, no sharing products. Does your teenage daughter or your partner use your eye contour or your makeup remover?

Does it seem like too much of an investment? Think for three seconds about the health and beauty of your skin, and that of those around you. If that’s not enough, compare it to what you’re charged for a family dinner at the trendy beach bar or four hours of paddle board rental.

Now that we understand each other, you just need to put yourself in expert hands and let yourself be advised to pack your suitcase, including the perfect sun routine. If you are already out of town, no problem; at Beldon, we offer online advice and the best products at the click of a button, so come on! Let's choose the best sun protection for you:

THE BEST FACIAL SUNSCREENS

Yes, they are the ones that come in small containers - generally between 30 and 50 ml - but beyond that, they feature specific formulas for the skin of the face and add cosmetic effects such as anti-aging, anti-spot, or mattifying action. They blend perfectly into the skin and should be spread down to the décolletage. Which one do you need?

Prone to dark spots?

Surely you already know that exposing yourself to the sun for five minutes without a protection factor of 50 is skin suicide. However, it is not necessary for you to give up the sun or go out with a visible two-meter thick layer of white ointment on your mustache area.

Photo Reverse

From Esthederm, it is an anti-spot facial treatment that protects the skin from the sun while simultaneously preventing tanning, offering high sun protection for pigmented skin, fading and preventing dark spots, and progressively lightening them.

Acne and oily skin?

It is true that the sun gives this type of skin a reprieve, but upon returning, a noticeable rebound effect occurs. It is essential not to relax and to use specific sun products that keep the sebaceous glands in check and have a mattifying action.

Protection U.V SPF 50

From Biologique Recherche, this is the latest innovation in sun protection from Biologique Recherche. Protection U.V SPF 50 is part of a three-step sun care protocol, specifically created by Biologique Recherche to achieve luminous, flexible, and healthy skin.

Sensitive or allergic skin?

Be very careful. In these cases, you must read the list of ingredients with a magnifying glass and be wary of any that does not have the approval of the strictest organizations. 'Clean', hypoallergenic, and natural cosmetics come to the rescue, but you must also look for soothing active ingredients.

Solar + Protect Fluid SPF50 +

From Dr. Schrammek, this is a fluid sunscreen. It provides high UV protection at any time without having to give up your usual care products. The fluid has a very light texture, reliably protects against UVA and UVB rays, and leaves no sticky film on the skin. It is suitable for any skin type and contains no fragrances.

Aging skin?

You know that the sun is your arch-nemesis and, probably, the cause of the state of your skin right now. We forbid you to "toast" yourself like you used to. You will have to settle for an elegant, gently golden tone and resort to anti-aging photoprotectors that compensate for the damage.

Advanced Day Ultimate Protect

From Medik8, this offers a sunscreen with the highest level of protection and anti-aging properties. This product not only helps minimize wrinkles but also prevents premature signs of aging caused by sun exposure, effectively blocking ultraviolet rays."

Do you always get burned?

Don't worry. Mineral filters are on your side to block the sun from the very first ray. You just have to apply the cream every hour and let yourself be.

Mesoprotech Melan 130+ Pigment Control

From Mesoestetic, this is a facial cream with very high sun protection indicated for skin with dark spots. Formulated with a depigmenting active ingredient, it helps regulate melanin synthesis while reinforcing anti-spot preventive action.

THE BEST BODY SUNSCREENS

Spray lotions and oils are the best options. The former make application as easy as possible - without having to ask for help - and the latter immediately transform the skin's texture, beautifying it. Even so, look for an extra active ingredient on the label that adapts to your needs.

Very dry skin?

Sun oils have been designed for you. Whether dry or oily to the touch, they contain nourishing and moisturizing agents, and some even have reflective pigments that enhance the tan.

Oily skin?

And even if you don't have it, there are people who prefer more evanescent textures. Gels, mists, and light lotions are your best option.

Intolerances Solaires Corps

From Esthederm, this is a high-protection body milk specifically designed for reactive skin. It facilitates progressive adaptation to the sun, reducing sensitivity and improving skin tolerance. Its advanced formula not only protects the skin from solar aggression but also treats sun allergies and strengthens the skin's defense system. Furthermore, it strengthens the skin, allowing for a safe and gradual tan.

Can't stay out of the water?

Forget about the rest, and if you are choosing the best sun protection, definitely look for the 'water-proof' claim on any sun product you use. In any case, don't get complacent and reapply it every time you get out of the water.

Adaptasun Body Mist 3 Suns by Esthederm

This innovative sun mist is designed to protect and optimize your tan with an SPF protection adapted to intense sun exposure. Its light, fast-absorbing formula facilitates uniform application and leaves a smooth, non-greasy finish on the skin. Enriched with patented Adaptasun technology, it boosts the skin's natural defense mechanisms and stimulates a faster, more uniform, and longer-lasting tan, all while preventing the signs of aging caused by the sun. Ideal for those seeking effective protection with an advanced approach to sun care.

Aging skin?

In that case, you should know that there are body photoprotectors with firming or anti-aging action that fight the passage of time while protecting you.

Helios3

Helios3 capsules from Biologique Recherche contain plant extracts, lutein, vitamins, and minerals that protect cells from the damage of oxidative stress, helping to prevent skin aging and the appearance of pigmentation spots.
