The warm sun on your face … such a pleasant feeling, but we should not forget that the sun is also harmful to our skin. We all want to keep that beautiful, youthful skin as long as possible, but it doesn’t happen by itself. The sun is responsible for a large part of visible facial ageing and causes more than 80% of pigmentation spots, reduced skin elasticity and wrinkles. That is why it is important to smear a good sun cream on your face every day. Here are our favourite products to protect your face from harmful UV rays:
Clinique – SPF 40 Face Cream
A refreshing, silky gel with SPF that, thanks to the innovative SolarSmart technology, provides high-quality protection against the aging effects of sun damage and fatigue. It also provides a energising effect on the skin, making your skin glow for up to 12 hours!

rituals – Fortune Balms – SPF 30
The lips are an often forgotten area of the face, although they are very sensitive. A lip balm with UVA/UVB protection is ideal for the summer months. The durable, water-resistant formula of Fortune Balms is perfect for active lifestyles and provides a protective layer against the sun’s harmful rays and the effects of free radicals. The lip balm is enriched with an exclusive blend of rich oils – such as olive oil, jojoba oil and coconut oil – that moisturises the lips, while the antioxidants in grapeseed oil and vitamin E soften the skin and protect against ageing and pollution.
