10 Jan What sunscreen to use in winter
Have you ever heard that the best anti-wrinkle is a sunscreen? You are right! Skin is so amazing that it always needs to be in balance to stay firm, smooth and hydrated.
And to maintain that balance, sunscreen is just as (or even more important) than facial moisturizer.
Why is it so important to protect yourself from the sun in winter?
Because radiation is still present 365 days a year. Although it is true that at this time we are less exposed, because we are warmer and because the rays do not hit as directly as in summer.
The good thing about winter is that we should only apply sunscreen to those areas of our skin that are going to be exposed. And with the cold they are few, the face, the neck and the hands.
In addition, using sunscreen is also going to be great for us to protect ourselves from sudden changes in temperature that dry out the skin and from the artificial light to which we are continuously exposed.
How to choose your sunscreen?
It is convenient to make sure that the sunscreen, in addition to being healthy for our skin, contains sustainable sun filters that do not harm marine flora and fauna.
At DHYVANA, we use 100% mineral filters, without nanoparticles and certified with the COSMOS NATURAL certification. They provide broad spectrum protection (UVB + UVA + IR) and are therefore more effective than most chemical filters. Mineral filters do not react on the skin, nor do they degrade, so they can be used even on sensitive and reactive skin.
Use SPF30 if you have a darker skin tone, for cloudy days, and if you are going to be out in the sun for a short period of time.
We recommend SPF50 if your skin tone is lighter, the days are sunnier and if you are going to be outdoors for a long time, especially if you go to the mountains or to the snow.
Our photoprotectors are specific for facial use and are specially formulated for facial skin: thinner, more delicate and with a greater tendency to create comedones
With a touch of color? Try our CC-Creams and get a good face effect instantly! Our formulas go one step further and include antioxidants that protect the skin from polluting agents, unify the tone and cover small imperfections, giving your skin luminosity.
For the most sensitive skin, we recommend our SPF50+, suitable for babies and children, with calming botanical extracts that provide additional protection. Its formula is easy to apply and does not contain nanoparticles or harmful ingredients.
So, no excuses to use your sunscreen day after day, even if it’s cloudy, cold or you have to spend the day in the office in front of the computer. Do not trust yourself and protect yourself from the sun throughout the year!
