Using sun protection adapted to your skin type, from the first rays remains the best way to protect yourself from the harmful effects of the sun. In the city, at the beach, hiking or with the family, there is a solution for every need. This guide helps you choose your sun protection based on your lifestyle, skin type and exposure habits., through a selection of 6 SOSKIN products that are effective, safe and designed for the whole family.
What are the criteria to take into account when choosing a sunscreen?
To properly protect your skin, it is not enough to use a random product. Here are the main criteria to know to make the right choice with complete confidence.
The protection index
The protection index of a sunscreen product corresponds to its ability to protect you from UVB rays, the main culprits of sunburn.
Also known by the acronym SPF (Sun Protection Factor), it is represented by numbers ranging from 6 to 50+. Protection levels are classified from low to very high by the European Commission :
- from 6 to 10 : weak protection;
- from 15 to 25 : medium protection;
- from 30 to 50 : high protection;
- more than 50 : very high protection
A sunscreen product with an SPF of 15, for example, absorbs 93% of UVB rays while a product with an SPF of 30 absorbs 97%.
An effective sunscreen product must protect against UVB and UVA, which penetrate deeper into the skin and are mainly responsible for skin aging. It is therefore important to protect yourself from UV rays even in bad weather.
Filters
The role of filters is decisive in preventing sunburn, skin aging and the risk of developing skin cancer.
What are the different types of filters?
There are mainly two types of solar filters:
- organic filters (called chemical) which neutralize UV rays by absorption. With a fluid texture, they do not stick and do not leave white marks on the skin. Their use is regulated, because they have a strong allergenic power;
- mineral filters, based on zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, which act by reflection. Not very allergenic, they are well tolerated by sensitive skin such as that of young children.
SPF-LOW TOX: an innovative new generation filter
Soskin has chosen to ban filters suspected of disrupting the endocrine system and being toxic to the environment, by developing its own solar filter: SPF-LOW TOX (low toxicity).
Resulting from two years of research, this unique complex, composed of four new generation sun filters, combines performance, respect for the skin and environmental commitment. Eco-designed and non-toxic, it preserves both our skin and the oceans.
Skin type
The choice of your solar product essentially depends on your phototype, which is established from the color of your skin, that of your eyes and the reactivity of your skin to the sun.
There are 6 phototypes ranging from 1 (very light skin) to 6 (black skin). The weaker your phototype, the more protection you will need.
In addition, fluid and light textures such as milks or gels will be more suitable for oily skin, while dry skin will better appreciate the rich and nourishing textures of creams and sun oils.
