Choosing the best sun protection

Choosing the Best Sunscreen : Do you rely solely on the number before the SPF? That's great. You know your skin type and have calculated approximately how long it would take for you to develop sunburn when exposed to the sun without protection, but it's not enough. The difficult part—and you absolutely need expert advice —is deciding between the different textures, added benefits, and formulas available on the market. Below, we give you the keys to choosing the best sunscreen.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST SUNSCREEN

At Beldon, we want to help you. The main goal? To prevent sunburn and protect your skin, but also to help you achieve the most flattering and long-lasting tan, and, at the same time, address your main beauty concerns. Sorry, but the first rule is that you must carry both facial and body sunscreens all summer long. And if you're vacationing with family, absolutely no sharing. Would your teenage daughter or partner use your eye cream or makeup remover?

Does it seem like too much of an investment? Think for three seconds about the health and beauty of your skin, and that of those around you. If that's not enough, compare it to what they charge you for a family dinner at the trendy beach bar or four hours of paddleboard rental.

Now that we're on the same page, all you need to do is put yourself in expert hands and let us advise you on packing your suitcase with the perfect sun care routine included. If you're already out of town, no problem! At Beldon, we offer online advice and the best products at the click of a button, so come on! Let's choose the best sun protection for you:

THE BEST FACIAL SUNSCREENS

Yes, they're the ones that come in small bottles—usually between 30 and 50 ml—but beyond that, they have formulas specifically designed for facial skin and offer cosmetic benefits like anti-aging, anti-blemish, or mattifying effects. They blend seamlessly into the skin and should be extended to the décolleté. Which one do you need?

Prone to stains?

You probably already know that exposing yourself to the sun for five minutes without SPF 50 is skin suicide. However, you don't have to give up the sun altogether or go out with a layer of white ointment visible from two meters away on your upper lip.

Photo Reverse

Esthderm is a facial anti-blemish treatment that protects the skin from the sun and at the same time prevents tanning while offering high sun protection for pigmented skin, reducing and preventing blemishes, and gradually lightening them.

Acne and oily skin?

It's true that the sun offers some respite to this type of skin, but upon returning to the sun, a noticeable rebound effect occurs. It's essential not to let your guard down and to use specific sunscreens that keep the sebaceous glands under control and have a mattifying effect.

UV Protection SPF 50

Biologique Recherche 's latest sun protection innovation is UV Protection SPF 50. It's part of a three-step sun care protocol, specifically created by Biologique Recherche, to achieve radiant, supple, and healthy skin.

Sensitive or allergic skin?

Be very careful. In these cases, you have to read the ingredient list very carefully and be wary of any product that hasn't been approved by the strictest regulatory bodies. 'Clean', hypoallergenic, and natural cosmetics come to the rescue, but you should also look for ingredients with a calming effect.

Solar + Protect Fluid SPF50PF50 +

Dr. Schrammek 's fluid sunscreen provides high UV protection anytime, anywhere, without requiring you to skip your usual skincare routine. The fluid has a very light texture, reliably protects against UVA and UVB rays, and leaves no sticky residue on the skin. It is suitable for all skin types and is fragrance-free.

Aging skin?

You know the sun is your arch-enemy and probably the reason your skin is in such bad shape right now. We forbid you from ever getting a tan like you used to. You'll have to settle for a soft, golden glow and use anti-aging sunscreens to counteract the damage.

Advanced Day Ultimate Protect

Medik8 offers a sunscreen with the highest level of protection and anti-aging properties. This product not only helps minimize wrinkles but also prevents premature signs of aging caused by sun exposure, effectively blocking ultraviolet rays.

Do you always get burned?

Relax. Mineral filters work on your side to block the sun from the first ray. All you have to do is reapply the cream every hour and let yourself go.

Mesoprotech Melan 130+ Pigment Control

Mesoestetic 's facial cream offers very high sun protection and is designed for skin with blemishes. Formulated with a depigmenting agent, it helps regulate melanin synthesis, reinforcing its preventative action against dark spots.

THE BEST BODY SUNSCREENS

Spray lotions and oils are the best options. Spray lotions make application incredibly easy—no need to ask for help—and oils instantly transform your skin's texture, making it look more beautiful. Even so, look for an extra active ingredient on the label that suits your needs.

Very dry skin?

Sun oils have been designed for you. Whether dry to the touch or rich, they contain nourishing and moisturizing agents, and some even include reflective pigments that enhance your tan.

Oily skin?

And even if you don't have it, some people prefer lighter textures. Gels, mists, and light lotions are your best option.

Solar Body Intolerances

Esthederm De is a high-protection body lotion specifically designed for reactive skin. It facilitates gradual adaptation to the sun, reducing sensitivity and improving skin tolerance. Its advanced formula not only protects the skin from sun damage but also treats sun allergies and strengthens the skin's defense system. Furthermore, it fortifies the skin, allowing for a safe and gradual tan.

Are you not getting out of the water?

Forget the rest, and if you're choosing the best sun protection, definitely look for the 'water-proof' label on any sunscreen you use. Even so, don't get complacent and reapply it every time you get out of the water.

Adaptasun 3 Suns Body Mist by Esthederm

This innovative sun mist is designed to protect and enhance your tan with SPF protection tailored to intense sun exposure. Its lightweight, fast-absorbing formula allows for even application and leaves a smooth, non-greasy finish on the skin. Enriched with patented Adaptasun technology, it boosts the skin's natural defense mechanisms and promotes a faster, more even, and longer-lasting tan, while preventing signs of sun-induced aging. Ideal for those seeking effective protection with an advanced approach to sun care.

Aging skin?

In that case, you should know that there are body sunscreens with firming or anti-aging properties that combat the effects of time while protecting you.

Helios3

Biologique Recherche 's Helios3 capsules contain plant extracts, lutein, vitamins, and minerals that protect cells from oxidative stress damage, helping to prevent skin aging and the appearance of pigmentation spots. They are especially recommended for sun-exposed skin, whether taken before or after sun exposure, offering additional protection and intensive care.
