Every summer, the same question arises: should I choose oil or sunscreen? Here's a clear guide to help you make the right choice based on your skin and activities.
Sunscreen: Safety first
Sunscreen remains the gold standard. Its thick texture and optimal protection make it ideal for sensitive skin. Its high SPF (30 to 50+) effectively blocks UVA and UVB rays.
Advantages:
- Maximum protection
- Suitable for sensitive skin and children
- Water-resistant
Sun oil: The golden tan
Sun oil provides a luminous and deep tan. But be careful: its SPF is often low (10 to 20). It is better suited for already tanned skin or for long days in the shade.
Advantages:
- Nourished and luminous skin
- Easy application
- Ideal for maintaining a tan
Our recommendation
For a day at the beach, start with SPF 50+ cream in the morning. In the late afternoon, in the shade, you can switch to oil to enhance your tan.
And to avoid overheating, complete your routine with our Nano Face Mister — a refreshing mist every hour preserves hydration and extends sun protection.
