Sun protection: your best anti-aging all year round

Sun exposure is one of the three main causes of skin aging, along with alcohol and tobacco. However, the sun is essential: it regulates our mood, sleep cycles, and helps us produce vitamin D, which is key for bone health and the immune system.

The problem? Solar radiation also accelerates skin aging and increases the risk of skin cancer. That is why daily sun protection is essential 365 days a year if you want to keep your skin healthy and young.

In this practical guide, you will learn which sun protection product to choose based on your skin type and aesthetic goals, ensuring protection and visible results.

UVB and UVA radiation: why do you need protection?

• UVB (5%): causes redness, sunburn, and immediate allergic reactions.
  





• UVA (95%): penetrates the dermis, alters collagen and elastin, causing wrinkles, sagging, spots, and photoaging. Additionally, it contributes to the development of melanoma and other skin cancers.
  

For this reason, you need broad-spectrum sunscreens that cover both UVA and UVB rays every day, even indoors.

How to understand labels: SPF, PA+, IR-A, Critical Wavelength, HEVL

• SPF: measures UVB protection. SPF 30+ blocks 97.5% of UVB rays and is the minimum recommended for daily use, while SPF 50+ is ideal for intense exposure.
  





• PA+: indicates UVA protection (from + to ++++).
  





• IR-A: protects against infrared radiation, which causes dehydration and sagging.
  





• Critical Wavelength and HEVL: protect against visible light and blue light from screens, preventing pigmentation and premature aging.
  

Types of filters: chemical, mineral, or hybrid?

Chemical filters: absorb UV rays; ideal if you are looking for light formulas without a white cast. Wait 20–30 minutes before exposure.

Mineral filters (zinc oxide and titanium dioxide): reflect rays; ideal for sensitive skin and children. They are absorbed immediately, although they can leave a white residue, now mitigated by micronized formulas.

Hybrid filters: combine both types for maximum protection with pleasant textures.

The importance of antioxidants in your sun routine

A sunscreen is more effective when combined with antioxidants such as vitamin C and E, which neutralize free radicals generated by the sun, reducing spots and wrinkles. Supplement with a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, omega-3, and green tea to boost results.

How to choose your ideal sunscreen

We recommend sunscreens that not only block radiation but also treat:

 Spots and pigmentation
Expression lines and sagging
Sensitivity and redness
Protection without perfumes, in light and comfortable textures

With tinted options if you want an even finish without giving up protection.
