Six Sunscreens That Won’t Leave a White Cast

The arrival of spring brings with it more hours of light, more agreeable days and also an increase in sun exposure. Therefore, the use of a sunscreen becomes essential to protect our skin and defend it from external agents that cause wrinkles, dark spots and, in the worst case, skin cancer.

Experts such as Glenda Guarino, Spa Manager at Champeney Wellness Gran Marbella insist that one of the biggest mistakes in transitional routines is thinking that we don’t need to use it daily, when the reality is otherwise. “One must not forget that solar radiation is present year-round and is one of the main causes of premature aging and skin cancer. Even if the day is cloudy you must use it.” Nevertheless, it is true that not all are equally pleasant.

Years ago, these cosmetics were sticky, left white marks and took an eternity to absorb. Fortunately, the paradigm has changed, and the new generation of sun protection creams is designed for the most demanding skins, with rushing and seeking an almost invisible finish. In addition, the best are enriched with moisturizing and antioxidant actives that hydrate, treat imperfections and promote luminosity.
