Did you know that 80% of skin aging is caused by sun exposure? We say it actively and passively: incorporating a facial sunscreen into your daily routine is essential to protect against UVA, UVB and other solar radiations and reinforce the skin barrier against environmental damage.
And indeed, beyond being the best prevention against skin cancer and other pathologies, the daily use of a facial photoprotector also acts as a powerful facial solar anti-aging solution, offering a comprehensive solution for caring for your face. And yes, its effectiveness heavily depends on reapplication, a gesture that becomes tricky in day-to-day life.
If direct sun exposure is present, such as at the beach or in the snow, it is essential to reapply every two hours. If it is for daily use in work routines, the rule relaxes and will depend on your lifestyle. Still, it is non-negotiable. It is not enough to apply protection every morning and not reapply it throughout the day.
To this end, there are lightweight formats, easy to carry in the bag and easy to apply that allow us to refresh the SPF with a simple gesture. They are proposals that you can even use on top of makeup without ruining your look for the day. And here are some of our favorites.
In Stick
Pigment Stick Color SPF 50 from Heliocare is an innovative 3-in-1 tinted facial stick that prevents, reduces and camouflages dark spots to even out skin tone. With 100% mineral filters, it is formulated to protect especially against visible radiation, an important cause of the appearance of spots.
Its exclusive Aspa-Fernblock technology contributes to repairing sun damage and optimizing vitamin D function, while ectoine provides anti-pollution action and a brightening effect. Easy and convenient to apply, it is ideal to use both as a makeup base and for targeted touch-ups during the day since it does not leave a greasy finish.
