Sun protection: your best anti-aging all year round

Sun exposure is one of the three main causes of skin aging, along with alcohol and tobacco. However, sunlight is essential: it regulates our mood and sleep cycles, and helps us produce vitamin D, which is key for bone health and the immune system.

The problem? Solar radiation also accelerates skin aging and increases the risk of skin cancer. That's why daily sun protection is essential 365 days a year if you want to keep your skin healthy and youthful.

In this practical guide, you will learn which sunscreen to choose according to your skin type and your aesthetic goals, ensuring protection and visible results.

UVB and UVA radiation: why do you need protection?

• UVB (5%): causes immediate redness, sunburn, and allergies.
  





• UVA (95%): penetrates the dermis, alters collagen and elastin, causing wrinkles, sagging, blemishes, and photoaging. It also contributes to the development of melanoma and other skin cancers.
  

That's why you need broad-spectrum sunscreens that cover both UVA and UVB every day, even indoors.

How to understand the labels: SPF, PA+, IR-A, Critical Lambda, HEVL

• SPF: measures UVB protection. SPF 30+ blocks 97.5% of UVB rays and is the minimum recommended for everyday use, while SPF 50+ is ideal for intense sun exposure.
  





• PA+: indicates UVA protection (from + to ++++).
  





• IR-A: protects against infrared radiation that causes dehydration and sagging.
  





• Critical Lambda and HEVL: protect against visible light and blue light from screens, preventing pigmentation and premature aging.
  

Types of filters: chemical, mineral, or hybrid?

Chemical filters: absorb UV rays, ideal if you're looking for lightweight formulas without a white cast. Wait 20-30 minutes before sun exposure.

Mineral filters (zinc oxide and titanium dioxide): reflect the sun's rays, ideal for sensitive skin and children. They are absorbed immediately, although they can leave a white residue, which is now mitigated with micronized formulas.

Hybrid filters: combine both types for maximum protection with pleasant textures.

The importance of antioxidants in your sun care routine

Sunscreen is more effective when combined with antioxidants like vitamins C and E , which neutralize free radicals generated by the sun, reducing dark spots and wrinkles. Complement this with a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, omega-3 fatty acids, and green tea to enhance the results.

How to choose your ideal sunscreen

We recommend sunscreens that not only block radiation, but also treat:

Spots and pigmentation
Expression lines and sagging skin
Sensitivity and redness
Fragrance-free protection in light and comfortable textures

With color options if you want a uniform finish without sacrificing protection.
