These are the products you need to protect your skin from the sun

Here are the best choices of sun products to protect your face, eyes and body from the sun all year round.

August is synonymous with holidays, beach, heat and lots of sun.Sunbathing has great benefits: it increases serotonin and produces vitamin D. But as well as benefits, high exposure without sufficient protection carries great risks: skin cancer, premature ageing or eye damage. According to the TopDoctors Summer and physical and mental well-being 2022 study, 45% of Spaniards only use sun protection when directly exposed to the beach or pool.

We must protect our skin from sun exposure, and for this it is important to always use sunscreen, especially in summer. That’s why we bring you sun protection and moisturising products for face, eyes and body to enjoy the sun responsibly.

Face shields

Protecting our face, neck and décolleté is something we should do every day. Even more so during times when UVA rays are more powerful and can negatively affect our skin. These are our recommendations for facial sunscreens.

Guerlain Orchidée Impériale Global UV Protector

The new Guerlain sunscreen concentrates the exceptional regenerating and illuminating powers of the orchid in a fluid with high protection SPF 50 PA+++. This product protects against external aggressions that darken the skin and reveals exceptional radiance to enhance its youthfulness. An excellent innovation that unfolds in an imperceptible perfecting and corrective veil.

It not only blocks UV light but also activates the skin’s radiance and youthfulness. It is composed of Orchid Tatum molecular extract, which has powerful regenerative properties and activates cell longevity. It also acts on melanin production while helping to produce more collagen, making the skin more even and toned. Enriched with shiny red and white micro-pearls, it corrects skin imperfections leaving a smooth and unified complexion. In addition, this product has a light texture with a “second skin” effect.
