Sunscreen should be the final step in any morning skin care routine and can also be an opportunity to give the skin an extra dose of beneficial ingredients before heading out to face the day. La Roche-Posay offers an array of Anthelios sunscreens to meet the needs of different skin types while addressing common skin concerns. Read on to learn more about:
Sun exposure plays a role in pigment production, so daily sunscreen is especially important for those looking to prevent uneven skin tone.
In addition to superior broad-spectrum UV protection (3% avobenzone, 7% homosalate, 5% octisalate and 7% octocrylene) and antioxidant benefits courtesy of Cell-Ox Shield® Technology, La Roche-Posay Anthelios UV Tone SPF 50 is formulated with niacinamide to help improve the appearance of discoloration. Designed to help smooth the skin for a visibly radiant complexion, this daily sunscreen’s barely there formula is invisible on all skin tones.
La Roche-Posay Anthelios UV Clear SPF 50 features Cell-Ox Shield® Technology and a blend of sunscreen ingredients (3% avobenzone, 7% homosalate, 5% octisalate and 7% octocrylene) for superior broad-spectrum UV protection without clogging pores. The addition of azelaic acid provides gentle exfoliation, skin-brightening, soothing and blemish-fighting benefits. This daily sunscreen also helps attract moisture to the skin with vegetable-based glycerin and blends invisibly into all skin tones to leave a natural finish.
Dry skin deserves a sunscreen that offers broad-spectrum UV protection and a hydrating boost. Anthelios UV Hydra SPF 50 offers the same broad-spectrum UV protection and antioxidant benefits with Cell-Ox Shield® Technology as UV Clear and UV Tone, along with hyaluronic acid to help maintain moisture. Ideal for all skin types and tones, it blends invisibly for dewy, healthy-looking skin.
More sunscreen pointers
Using broad-spectrum sun protection as part of your daily morning skin care routine is an incredibly effective way to protect your skin from damage caused by UV rays. However, that doesn’t mean you’re automatically covered for the rest of the day.
If your plans include spending time outside, whether dining al fresco or running errands, you should reapply sunscreen on your face at least every two hours. UV rays can damage the skin even when it’s overcast, so sunscreen is still needed even on cloudy days. UV rays can also penetrate glass, so be sure to apply sunscreen if you’re driving or sitting indoors by a window.
We all know daily sun protection is essential for the skin’s health and appearance, and La Roche-Posay makes the most of this skin care step with formulas for specific skin types and needs. From dry and acne-prone skin to concerns like uneven skin tone, there’s an Anthelios sunscreen that ticks all your boxes.
