Our face sun protection
When the beautiful days return, it's impossible to resist a tanning session. Unfortunately, the gentle touch of the sun on your skin can also have long-term harmful effects. Without suitable face sun protection, UV rays cause sunburn and premature skin aging. With NUXE Sun, discover formulas with a gentle summer fragrance and SPF suitable for all needs.
What are the benefits of face sun protection?
A sunscreen with an appropriate SPF acts as a shield against the sun's rays. It protects you from sunburn and preserves the youthfulness of your skin.
Effective protection against UVA and UVB
Melting Sun Lotion Very High Protection SPF50+, Melting Sun Cream SPF30, or Light Fluid High Protection SPF 50: our face sun protection products all contain the patented filtering system developed by NUXE research. Thanks to its combination of 3 organic filters and 2 esters, it is effective against UVB, short UVA, and long UVA. Even better, with an SPF 30 or SPF 50, the UVA indices are twice as high as the minimums required by European regulations.
Natural active ingredients that preserve your skin
To complement the action of the patented filtering system of your face sun protection, NUXE adds rice and rosemary extracts to its formulas. This antioxidant complex, which acts as a cellular protector, helps prevent premature photo-aging. Crème Fondante Visage SPF 50+ and Crème Solaire Visage SPF 30 also contain carob powder extract. This natural active ingredient enhances tanning.
With NUXE Sun face sun protection, choose gentle care for your skin and the environment. Our filters have been rigorously selected for their effectiveness and tolerance. Our formulas have been tested under marine conditions to reduce the impact on the marine environment. They are water-resistant to minimize filter dispersion during swimming.
How to choose the right face sun protection for your skin type?
When the sun shines, it is important to replace your usual face care with face sun protection. Of course, if your daily care already contains SPF, don't change anything unless you want to enjoy the notes of sweet orange, tiare, and vanilla from the divine NUXE Sun fragrance.
Essential criteria for a suitable choice
There are two criteria to consider when choosing your face sun protection: the intensity of the sunlight and your skin type.
Very sun-sensitive skin
Your skin needs UVA-UVB face sun protection with SPF 50 or SPF 50+. When the sunlight is high (very hot summer day or from 12 pm to 4 pm), avoid exposure.
Sun-sensitive skin
Is the sunlight really low? Face sun protection with SPF 30 may suffice. As soon as the rays reach moderate intensity, switch to SPF 50 or 50+.
Intermediate skin
An anti-UVA-UVB cream with SPF 30 is sufficient for low to moderate sunlight. When the sun is stronger, apply face sun protection with SPF 50.
Fairly resistant skin
Your skin can handle low to moderate sunlight with light protection (SPF 10). With NUXE Sun SPF 30 or SPF 50+ face sun protection, you benefit from enhanced UVA-UVB protection regardless of the sunlight level.
Which texture to prefer according to your skin?
NUXE Sun face sun protection products are non-comedogenic and suitable for all skin types. The melting texture of the creams provides an enveloping sensation without leaving greasy residue or a white film. The fluid is lighter, almost imperceptible: ideal for protecting combination and oily skin.
How to properly apply face sun protection?
Apply generously to the entire face, avoiding the eye area. If you do not apply enough product, the level of sun protection will be significantly reduced. Remember to frequently reapply, especially after swimming or drying off.
Excessive sun exposure is dangerous, and face sun protection does not provide 100% protection. Also, avoid the sun at midday.
Face sun protection: your ally against photo-aging
Tanning is a defense mechanism of the skin against the sun, but sun exposure has many other consequences on the skin.
The invisible effects of UV rays
The sun's rays do not stop at the surface of the skin; they penetrate deeper, causing what is called photo-aging. Year after year, they damage collagen and elastin fibers, accelerating skin aging. The skin loses its firmness and suppleness. Wrinkles appear earlier, and the skin is less toned.
Prolonged and repeated sun exposure also disrupts the functioning of melanocytes. These are the cells responsible for producing melanin, which colors our skin. Over time, their function becomes disrupted.
Visible signs of premature skin aging
Pigment spots are one of the visible consequences of photo-aging. Melanin accumulates in certain areas, causing more intense pigmentation in a small area. Your complexion is less uniform, and your skin loses its radiance. Around the eyes, mouth, and forehead, wrinkles deepen more quickly.
Precautions to protect your skin
With photo-aging, the best solution is prevention! Apply suitable face sun protection during each prolonged exposure. Also, consider adding body protection, a hat, and sunglasses to your summer gear. If possible, avoid the sun from 12 pm to 4 pm and stay in the shade as much as possible. At the end of the day, apply NUXE Sun repairing care to soothe your heated skin, provide hydration, and prolong your tan.
Face sun protection is essential to avoid sunburn and photo-aging. NUXE Sun formulas combine a patented filtering system with natural ingredients to offer protection against UVA and UVB. Their melting textures with a sunny fragrance turn each application into a moment of escape.
