Summer brings with it the most incredible events and the most desired holidays and to enjoy them to the fullest we cannot forget to protect our skin
Sun protection is not exclusive to the summer season, in fact, it is necessary on a daily basis as we are exposed to solar radiation even in winter and also to the blue light that often comes from LED light and the screens of all our devices. Here are our recommendations for the best sunscreens and treatments so you can enjoy the sun, but always taking care of your skin.
Facial protection
Our face has a more sensitive skin than the rest of the body and is continually exposed to the sun, especially with the arrival of summer, which is why we must take care of it and provide it with specific protection. To take care of this delicate area we recommend the three best products at the forefront of photoprotection.
The Laviderm Oil free facial sun cream with 50+ photoprotection (UVB/UVA) and light texture that guarantees a highly comfortable application and an invisible finish. Its oil-free texture makes it a product suitable for all skin types, especially ideal for combination, oily and acne-prone skin. In addition to offering complete sun protection thanks to its advanced combination of sunscreens, it prevents premature skin ageing and the appearance of blemishes while moisturising and repairing the skin.

Another facial care must-have is Guerlain’s UV Skin Defense Abeille Royale, which protects the skin day after day, with a high sun protection against UVB response. Its Flex UV technology creates an ultra-resistant, filter-compatible second-skin effect mesh that provides advanced protection. By concentrating the rejuvenating powers of its exclusive honeys thanks to Dynamic BlackBee Repair technology, this fluid, also helps to reduce the visible signs of collagen deterioration: wrinkles and loss of firmness.
Selver Thermal has launched Sun Care Age-Prevent Gel-Cream SPF 90, this product stands out for its state-of-the-art light texture that protects the skin from photo-ageing through the Full Light Protection, and at the same time preserves the marine ecosystem thanks to its Reef Friendly formula.This formula is ideal for sun-reactive, photosensitive or blemished skin.
Must-haves to treat blemishes
To treat skin blemishes and at the same time protect your skin, we bring you the products that will become your best allies. The first recommendation is the new White Caviar Pearl Infusion by La Prairie, this product focuses on reducing the four main pigmentation disorders – brown spots, redness, pallor and greyness- and increasing the density of collagen fibres in the dermis. At the same time White Caviar Pearl improves skin radiance with the use of cutting-edge technologies and unique active ingredients.
La Prairie’s White Caviar Pearl Infusion, Collistar’s Magic Protective Drops and Skeyndor’s Urban White cream.
Another of our recommendations are the new Collistar Magic Protective Drops, its innovative formula is essential for those seeking to prevent the signs of ageing and skin blemishes, thanks to the fact that it is enriched with Niacinamide, a component with an anti-ageing and brightening action, as it forms part of the B vitamins group, which strengthen the skin’s barrier function, reduce sebum production, regulate melanin production, which helps with melasma and hyperpigmentation at the same time reduce redness and boost hydration and even skin tone.
Another great option is the Urban White cream from the leading cosmetics brand Skeyndor, a specific treatment for spots with depigmenting agents, which clarifies the tone of any type of skin spot and unifies the skin tone.
Allies in body protection
For body sun protection we bring you our selection of recommended products that you can wear for any occasion from a boat trip to a pool party. Our first choice is the Sun Care Hydro-Lotion Body & Hair SPF 30 by Selvert Thermal, this biphasic spray has a light, non-greasy texture that provides both skin and hair with perfect hydration and comprehensive protection against a broad spectrum of radiation.

After sun: after sun products
The care of our skin should be before and after the sun, as sun exposure and other agents such as sand from the sea, salt and chemicals from swimming pools tend to dry out our skin, therefore after sun products are excellent complements to maintain a moisturised and protected skin. Here are our recommendations.
The product that tops our list of recommendations is Isdin’s after sun lotion, as it is a product made with natural ingredients, with Panthenol that helps increase skin hydration and reduces transepidermal water loss, it also has Menthol and Chamomile that provide a soothing and refreshing effect on the skin.
This lotion not only moisturises, it also intensely repairs thanks to its aloe, Panthenol, centella asiatica and allantoin content, while helping to prolong the tan throughout the summer.
Isdin after sun lotion, Filorga Hydra-Hyal repulpant moisturising serum and My. Organics after sun hair and body wash.
The Filorga Hydra-Hyal Hydrating and repulping serum synthesises all the power of hyaluronic acid in a single moisturising serum that helps to redensify the skin. This serum is ideal to take care of our face after time spent in the sun.
Finally, as part of our recommendations we have the After sun hair and body wash from My. Organics, which contains ingredients such as aloe, myrtle and carrot. Thiscleanseris ideal for after sun exposure, as it features with a regenerating action, which removes residues of sand, salt and chlorine and at the same time is rich in ingredients with moisturising, soothing and anti-redness action.
