SPF 50 Sunscreen

Our SPF 50 Sunscreens

Without proper protection, prolonged sun exposure can have damaging effects on your skin. From sunburn to premature aging, UV rays impact your skin in numerous ways. With a NUXE Sun SPF 50 or SPF 50+ sunscreen, you can give your skin effective protection combined with a hydrating formula, featuring a luxurious melting texture and a heavenly, sun‑kissed scent.

Does SPF 50 sunscreen give you 100% UV protection?

No sunscreen product can provide 100% protection. However, an SPF 50 sunscreen delivers high protection, filtering out 98% of UVB rays. With an SPF 50+ rating (very high protection), you get a shield capable of blocking between 98% and 99% of UVB rays. With NUXE Sun, you benefit from UVA protection levels that are, on average, twice as high as the minimum required by stringent European regulations*. These are the rays responsible for premature photoaging, which can lead to the early appearance of wrinkles and dark spots. Your SPF 50 or SPF 50+ cream helps prevent their formation, supporting a more even complexion.

How long does SPF 50 protection last?

Using an SPF 50 sunscreen multiplies your skin's natural resistance to sunburn by 50. For example, if your skin typically starts to turn red after 5 minutes of sun exposure, applying an SPF 50 formula extends that time by a factor of 50. Theoretically, this gives you 4 hours and 10 minutes (5 minutes × 50) before your skin begins to redden. This time is extended even further with an SPF 50+ sunscreen.

In reality, many factors can reduce your level of protection, which is why it's best to reapply your sunscreen at least every two hours. Remember to reapply after every swim, after towel‑drying, or if you’ve been sweating.

An SPF 50 or 50+ formula is suitable for all skin types and is essential for anyone with sun‑sensitive skin. Since no sunscreen offers 100% protection, it is always wise to avoid exposure when the sun is at its strongest, between 12 PM and 4 PM. Overexposure to the sun is a serious health risk, so remember to wear a hat, sunglasses, and even a t‑shirt for added protection at the beach.

Can you still get a tan while wearing SPF 50 sunscreen?

Yes. Tanning is a natural response as your skin works to protect itself from UV rays. Since your SPF 50 or SPF 50+ sunscreen is not a total block, your skin will still activate this defense mechanism. By following the application instructions and sun exposure precautions, you can help minimize photoaging, protect yourself from sunburn, and achieve a gradual, glowing tan.

What is the correct way to apply SPF 50 sunscreen?

The golden rule for applying your SPF 50 or SPF 50+ sunscreen is generosity! If you don't apply enough product, the level of sun protection is significantly reduced. Before sun exposure, dispense the product into your hands and apply it evenly to your face—avoiding the eye area—as well as your neck, décolleté, the back of your neck, and your ears.

Indulge your senses with the captivating notes of Sweet Orange, Tiaré Flower, and Vanilla found in NUXE Sun protection. With your SPF 50 or SPF 50+ sunscreen, even the most sun‑sensitive skin can enjoy summer with greater peace of mind. With its invisible finish, hydrating action, and luxurious melting textures, NUXE’s high or very high broad‑spectrum UVA/UVB protection is a true sensory pleasure.
