Sun Lotion

Our Sun Lotion Collection

Protect your skin from sunburn and premature aging with your NUXE Sun lotion. Our sun care products combine scientific expertise with sensory pleasure to accompany you during your time in the sun. Envelop your skin in a protective, hydrating veil with a heavenly fragrance. Available in SPF 30 or SPF 50+, our sun lotions offer broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection tailored to your skin type and the sun’s intensity.

What's the Difference Between a Sun Lotion and a Sun Cream?

Deciding between a lotion and a cream for your sun protection? It all comes down to your texture preference.

Face & Body Protection with Sun Lotion

A sun lotion features a fluid, lightweight texture that allows for a quick and easy application, making it especially practical for the body. A sun cream is typically thicker, offering a richer, more cocooning sensation that is often preferred for the face, providing a feeling of deep comfort.

Our sun lotions guarantee a beautiful application experience for both face and body, providing intense hydration. Available in SPF 30 and SPF 50+ versions, they combat UVA and UVB rays with their exclusive patented filtering system. This system is composed of three carefully selected filters and two esters. Its broad-spectrum protection helps prevent the appearance of dark spots, a common sign of premature photoaging. This action is enhanced by an antioxidant-rich extract of Rice and Rosemary, a duo that acts as a powerful cellular shield.

The sun can cause burns on the skin's surface, which we know as sunburn. UVA rays penetrate more deeply, causing long-term damage and accelerating signs of aging. With NUXE Sun lotions, you receive UVA protection that is, on average, twice as stringent as required by European regulations. With the Melting Sun Lotion Very High Protection SPF 50+, you even get protection against blue light.

Each use is a sensory escape, with a captivating scent that captures the essence of summer with notes of Sweet Orange, Tiare Flower, and Vanilla. Your skin is left hydrated, and your tan is beautifully enhanced with an invisible finish. Whether you choose SPF 30 or SPF 50+, you’ll enjoy a non-comedogenic, water-resistant formula that’s perfect for all skin types.

Which Sun Lotion Should You Choose?

The Melting Sun Lotion Very High Protection SPF 50+ is ideal for protecting very fair or sun-sensitive skin. If this describes your skin, try to avoid sun exposure on very hot summer days, especially between 12 PM and 4 PM. An SPF 50+ is also suitable for sensitive skin in moderate sun, or for intermediate skin tones when the sun's intensity is high.

The Melting Sun Lotion High Protection SPF 30 for face and body is perfect for sun-sensitive skin when the sun is less intense. Intermediate skin tones can use it in moderate sun, while more resilient skin types can use it even when the sun is strong. This formula also contains Carob Powder extract to naturally enhance your tan for a beautiful sun-kissed glow.

How to Apply Sun Lotion

To get the full benefits of your sun lotion, it's all about proper application. Above all, remember that overexposure to the sun is a serious health risk. A sun protection product does not provide 100% protection, so avoid direct sun during peak hours.

Application Steps

Dispense the product into your hands, then apply it evenly to your face, avoiding the eye area. For your body, you can apply the lotion directly to your skin. Don't forget to protect often-missed spots like the back of your neck, behind your knees, your ears, and the tops of your feet. For best results, apply to dry skin to ensure even coverage.

The Right Amount for Optimal Protection

If you don't apply enough sun lotion, your level of protection will be significantly reduced. Be generous and cover all exposed areas without over-rubbing or stretching the product. A good rule of thumb: when you feel your hands start to drag instead of glide smoothly across your skin, it's time to add more.

How Often to Reapply

Sun protection isn't a one-and-done deal! Keep your sun lotion in your beach bag to reapply every two hours. You should also reapply immediately after swimming, sweating, or toweling off.

Do These Sun Lotions Leave a White Cast on the Skin?

Did your last sunscreen leave a chalky, white cast on your face or body? That won't happen with your NUXE Sun lotion! Our exclusive patented filtering system contains organic (also known as chemical) filters. A white cast is typically caused by mineral filters, which form a physical barrier on the skin to reflect UV rays. In contrast, our organic filters allow our sun lotions to melt into the skin to absorb UV rays, leaving it feeling hydrated and looking radiant while delivering highly effective UV protection.

What Is the Shelf Life of a Sun Lotion?

Like all cosmetic products, a sun lotion has a limited shelf life to guarantee the effectiveness of its protective filters. Once opened, you can use the product for the period indicated by the small open-jar symbol on the bottle. However, for maximum safety and efficacy, we recommend purchasing a new bottle of sunscreen each year.

Designed to blend high protection with a luxurious sensory experience, NUXE Sun lotions are your vacation essentials! They shield your skin from UVA and UVB rays, keep it hydrated, and enhance your beautiful tan. Lightweight, water-resistant, non-comedogenic, and delicately scented, they are the perfect companions for your skin all summer long.
