How to choose the best sunscreen to take care of your skin

How to choose the best sunscreen to take care of your skin

Here are the keys to help you choose the best protection for your skin

With the arrival of summer we realize that we need sunscreen, because vacations are approaching, outdoor plans are increasing and, probably, the sunscreen left over from last year is already out of date. Here is one of the most recurrent mistakes: remembering the 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. This way, we will avoid sunburn, photoaging and do our part to avoid health problems caused by the harmful effects of the sun.

Each skin is unique, so choosing the right sunscreen product requires us to take into account several aspects before deciding on one of the many sunscreens available on the market. This task may seem difficult, so 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 examining is on its 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 our skin tone when choosing the right sunscreen.

  • Lighter skins will need SPF 30 or higher, while if they are very light and freckled, SPF 50 or SPF 50+ is recommended.
  • For fair skin, an SPF of 30 or higher is necessary, depending on the time of exposure to the sun.
  • For dark and tanned 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 that allows you to discover which one is best suited to your needs. Discover all the available formats of our range for atopic skin
  • For dry skin, we recommend an emulsion format, as well as choosing a range that moisturizes 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 lies in recognizing that facial skin and body skin are not the same. That is why our sunscreens are designed to fit 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 defense 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 makeup be combined? Here it is important to clarify that makeup alone does not protect from 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 sunscreen comes in! Choose the format that best suits your lifestyle, in emulsion or cream compact.
