Five Sunscreens to Use Daily in Autumn

You know you should keep using a good daily sunscreen even though you’ve swapped the beach for office light. However, just as we make small changes in our beauty routine, it’s also worth bearing in mind that in autumn, your skin’s needs are different. Also when we protect it from photoaging.

If your sunscreen cream is well formulated and offers broad-spectrum protection (SPF50+), it is capable of preventing up to 80% of the appearance of signs of aging such as spots, wrinkles, or expression lines. Just for that, it’s worth it. Nevertheless, in the in-between months, environmental dryness increases, days are shorter, grayer, more unstable; and we are exposed to greater pollution.

Because of this, experts recommend choosing those formulas designed to eradicate damage from radiation, but with treating ingredients that give your dermis an extra boost. My advice? Go for those with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, antioxidants or actives such as peptides or panthenol. It also scores points if they have a lightweight, fast-absorbing texture and do not leave a white cast.

In my ranking: recommended sunscreens

Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun SPF 50+. You’ll appreciate it because it gives a finish similar to a moisturizing cream, leaving the skin nourished, luminous, and residue-free. It contains 30 % rice extract and cereal fermentations to hydrate and strengthen, and anti-aging actives such as peptides, niacinamide and probiotic fractions, which reinforce the skin’s barrier function and counteract pollution and infrared radiation.

Heliocare 360º Age Active Fluid SPF 50. Recommended by experts, it is one of the most complete sunscreens because it protects against the four main radiations: UVB, UVA, visible light and infrared.

Its formula is enriched with Fernblock®+, antioxidants and repairing actives, which provide an anti-aging action that prevents and corrects signs of photoaging. It is lightweight, does not leave shine and conceals facial imperfections.

I’m Aqua Sun Essence de Suntique. Ideal for combination and oily skin, it leaves no white cast, no unwanted shine, and is ultralight. It is water-based and formulated with centella asiatica and aloe vera extracts, which calm and gently hydrate the skin. It also has a high protection factor SPF50 and PA++++ and is suitable for all skin types, even sensitive.
