Cómo elegir el mejor protector solar para cuidar tu piel

We give you the keys to help you choose the best protection for your skin

With the arrival of summer we realise that we need sunscreen, because holidays are approaching, outdoor plans are increasing and, probably, the one we had left over from last year is already out of date. This is one of the most common mistakes: remembering to use sunscreen only at the last minute when the heat is approaching.

Protecting our skin with SPF (Solar Protection Factor) is a must to keep it healthy, whenever we plan to expose ourselves to the sun's rays, whatever the season. In this way, we will avoid sunburn, photo-ageing and do our part to avoid health problems caused by the harmful effects of the sun.

Every skin is unique, so choosing the right sunscreen product requires us to take into account several aspects before choosing one of the many sunscreens available on the market. This task may seem difficult, which is why at Gisèle Denis we help you decide on the sunscreen that best suits your needs, choosing the right SPF, according to your skin tone; and the ideal format, depending on its characteristics (dry, normal, combination or delicate).

1. First requirement: the Sun Protection Factor

The key to making our first selection of the product we are looking at is on the label, specifically the SPF or Sun Protection Factor. This number will determine the level of protection it will provide to our skin once applied. The higher the SPF, the more protection it will provide. It is important to consider your skin tone when choosing the right sunscreen.

  • Lighter skins will need SPF 30 or higher, while for very fair skin with freckles, SPF 50 or SPF 50+ is recommended.
  • For fair skin, an SPF 30 or higher is necessary, depending on the length of exposure to the sun.
  • For tanned and dark skin, a sunscreen with SPF 15 is generally suggested.
  • Finally, dark skin that pigments quickly will require an SPF of 10 or higher for adequate protection.

2. Second question: Which format to choose?

As for the application of body sunscreen, we offer you different recommendations so that you can choose according to your skin type.

  • For oily skin, it is best to opt for gel, spray or mousse protection.
  • For normal skin, all application formats are suitable.
  • For sensitive skin, it is important to have a specific range with different formats so that you can find the one that best suits your needs. Discover all the available formats of our range for atopic skins
  • For dry skin, we recommend an emulsion format, as well as choosing a range that moisturises your skin while protecting it.
  • On the other hand, combination skin benefits from gel or cream sunscreens.

By following these guidelines, you will be able to select the most suitable sunscreen for your skin type, ensuring effective protection and optimal care in the sun.

3. Important: Face and body separately

The importance of using specific sunscreens is to recognise that facial skin and body skin are not the same. That's why our sunscreens are designed to suit each surface, with a wide selection designed specifically for the face and one specifically for the body. In this way, we ensure optimal protection tailored to the unique needs of each area, providing effective defence against sun damage on all exposed areas of the skin. Keep your skin protected with our products designed with the care your face and body deserve.

4. The best option if you wear make-up or want to do without it

The eternal question: Can photoprotection and make-up be combined? Here it is important to clarify that make-up alone does not protect against the sun. Although some foundations or pre-foundations contain sunscreens, we usually do not apply enough to obtain adequate protection. Therefore, it is essential to have a specific cosmetic for this purpose.

this is where Gisèle Denis tinted sun protection comes in! Choose the format that best suits your lifestyle, in emulsion or cream compact.
