Our Sun Care Solutions
Enjoying the sun can result in a lovely tan and is crucial for synthesising vitamin D, essential for maintaining healthy bones and a robust immune system. However, to make the most of these benefits, it is vital to shield your skin from the hazards of UV rays. Discover how to choose sun protection tailored to your skin type to truly enjoy your holiday.
How to Select Sun Protection Suited to Your Skin Type?
When picking your sun protection, consider two key aspects: your skin type and the level of sun exposure.
Very Sun-Sensitive Skin
You must use a UVA-UVB sun protection with an SPF 50. It is also wise to avoid direct sunlight when UV exposure is high or very high.
Sun-Sensitive Skin
If the sunlight is really weak, an SPF 30 sunscreen may be sufficient. As soon as UVA and UVB rays reach a moderate intensity, opt for SPF 50 sun protection.
Intermediate Skin Types
SPF 30 will be adequate for low to moderate sun intensity. When UV levels rise, switch to an SPF 50 cream. It's essential when the sun beams with intensity.
Sun-Resistant Skin
An SPF 10 will be suitable for low to moderate sun exposure. As UVA and UVB rays intensify, turn to SPF 30 to avoid sunburns. Using SPF 30 or 50 sun care products for enhanced protection is always a sound choice.
What Types of Sun Cream are Available?
Sun creams are initially categorised based on protection levels:
SPF 6 and 10: Low protection.
SPF 15, 20, or 25: Medium protection.
SPF 30 or 50: High protection.
SPF 50+: Very high protection.

Why Should You Protect Your Skin from the Sun with a Cream?
Every sun exposure poses a health risk. The sun's rays consist of UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays are more abundant and penetrate deeply, causing damage in the skin's lower layers. UVB intensity builds throughout the day, affecting the epidermis's surface layer. Without proper SPF and diligent sun cream application, you're at risk of:
- Sunburns.
- Premature skin ageing.
- Appearance of pigmentation marks.
To keep the sun a joy, avoid exposure between noon and 4 PM. Consider seeking shade whenever possible and/or wearing a hat to limit sunstroke risk.
How Often Should You Apply Sun Protection?
Excessive sun exposure is a genuine threat to the health and beauty of your skin. Whether you're on holiday, in your garden, on a terrace, or in the mountains: always apply appropriate sun protection before exposure. Reapply every two hours, especially after sweating, swimming, or towel drying. Be generous, as insufficient product application greatly reduces your sun protection level. By choosing NUXE Sun care products, you transform this vital health practice into a captivating beauty ritual. Sweet orange, Tahitian gardenia, and vanilla combine, inviting a sensory journey with every application.
Protecting your skin during every sun exposure is crucial. UV rays can cause sunburns, inflict irreversible health damage, and significantly hasten skin ageing. With sun protection suited to your skin type and the intensity of UVA and UVB rays, you'll fully enjoy the sunny days.
