Which sunscreen to choose, depending on your needs and wishes? Sunbathing without

• I want to moisturize my skin

UV increases the temperature of the skin and causes it to dry out. To restore its hydration level and make it brighter and more plump, we opt for sunscores full of moisturizing active ingredients.

In the evening, we use a dry oil as after-sun to feed it.

The advice of Eric Gooris, Director of Research and Development Clarins laboratories: one week before departure, we hydrate our skin perfectly without skimping on antioxidants so that it is more resistant to UV.

• I want to brown without a rider

To take the sun without taking years, we choose a high protection cream that contains antioxidants.

We complete with a restorative night care and especially, even tanned, we continue to protect ourselves to save our sun capital.

• I want an even complexion

If we fear the phenomena of hyperpigmentation (sunspots, melasmas, pregnancy mask ), a single defense: a high protection 50 equipped with a large filtration UVB and UVA short and long, accompanied by a depigmenting active

Another strategy: slip under his sun care in the morning and under his restorative cream in the evening, a stain-resistant serum.

• I want to expose myself makeup

The solution for make-up addicts: bet on a tinted protective texture.

For dry skin, an anti-stain and anti-aging fluid ensures a more intense tan with its cocktail of spices and palm oil.

• I want organic

Some brands of organic cosmetics , which use only mineral filters, had to remove their solar. Opaque, difficult to formulate, they left white marks and all the more so as the index was high.

However, some laboratories have developed formulas tested under dermatological control, certified organic with mineral filters and natural actives (including a part of biological origin), without paraben or silicone, or synthetic fragrance.

• I want to slim down

We take advantage of a body sun care that contains the best slimming assets to destock, drain and carve a silhouette on his beach towel.

• I do not want herpes

Because UV - especially UVA - causes skin defenses to fall, the virus wakes up. To neutralize it, from the first rays, we leave the covered lips with a lip stick provided with SPF.

• I refuse to peel

If our skin is dry and rough, we put on lipid-rich substances that soften and restructure the skin, avoid peeling and end up with a dull tan. Each lab has its own recipe: shea butter, glycerine, macadamia nut oil ...

On the body, we play the map of solar oils that continue to increase in index to put our curves at the zenith.

• I want a matte complexion

If we have a normal skin that shines at the slightest ray or a skin with a greasy tendency, we have fluid, light, non-greasy and mattifying textures.

• I do not want buttons

If our skin secretes too much sebum, we do not lower our guard, even if it seems to calm down in the sun. In fact, its thickening due to tanning clogs the pores, so that inflammation is temporarily controlled. Very quickly, it will take over, especially at the time of the unplugging. To counter this rebound effect, we adopt a formula containing sebum regulators.

• I do not want allergies

If our skin is sensitive and reacts to the sun as the application of cosmetics, we minimize the amount and number of substances in the formula, and especially that of chemical filters.

"Developing an efficient index with as few filters as possible, all in a pleasant texture, is difficult," says Eric Gooris, Clarins.

Two options: Use only inert and perfectly tolerated mineral filters. The disadvantage: the strong protections are very opaque, difficult to apply and often unpleasant on the skin. Or use both types of filters by minimizing the chemical with "home" formulation tips.

• I prevent rosacea

UV and heat dilate the vessels, which may aggravate the problems of redness and rosacea in thin skin and clear. The parade ? Very high indices and a solar equipped with active anti-redness and anti-inflammatory which decrease their intensity.
