Your skin under high protection: new daily sunscreens

By Aude Boissou.

Slowly but surely, summer is coming. And with it a renewed desire for long walks, sun-drenched terraces, and endless sun exposure to soak up some vitamin D… But this bright season also carries risks for the skin – premature aging, dark spots, loss of firmness, not to mention the danger of skin cancer. To fully enjoy summer without compromising health or beauty, a new generation of facial sunscreens offers high protection combined with targeted anti-aging ingredients and lightweight, second-skin textures. Invisible, effective, and often multifunction, they naturally fit into your summer routine, at the crossroads between skincare and makeup.
