Facial sunscreen is not just a summer product, but an essential daily habit for the health and beauty of the skin. The sun’s ultraviolet radiation (UVA and UVB) causes premature aging, dark spots, dehydration, photoaging, and increases the risk of skin cancer. Even on cloudy or winter days, our skin is exposed to harmful solar radiation.

There are two main types of sunscreen: chemical sunscreens, which contain organic filters that absorb UV radiation and convert it into heat, and have a lightweight texture, making them ideal for daily use under makeup. And physical or mineral sunscreens, which contain zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide. They create a physical film that reflects UV radiation. They are more suitable for sensitive or reactive skin.

How to choose the right facial sunscreen?

The choice always depends on your skin type. For oily or acne-prone skin, choose oil-free, non-comedogenic products with a matte finish. For dry skin, sunscreens with moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid or glycerin. For sensitive skin, prefer physical filters and fragrance-free products. For mature skin, choose options with anti-aging ingredients such as vitamin C or retinol.

Facial sunscreen is the most effective anti-aging product and a key step in any skincare routine. Invest in a sunscreen that suits your skin’s needs and make sun protection a daily matter not only in summer, but 365 days a year.
