Top 3 sun creams for a carefree summer
Many of you are on vacation, or getting ready to go on holiday, overwhelmed by the heat and the blazing sun, even in most cities. We can't stress it enough: sun cream with a minimum protection factor of 50 is a must, every day, all year round, come rain or snow. If you still haven't adopted this into your daily skincare routine, please do so at least during the summer! In this article, we'll suggest a few suncare products for a carefree summer with optimum protection!
When should I apply sunscreen?
As we said in the introduction, ideally every day, all year round! As the very last step in your beauty routine, just before make-up and after moisturizer. The key to effective sun protection is not only the quantity, but also the frequency of application! The right amount? Turn your palm over, and pour the sunscreen over the entire length of your index and middle fingers, in a V-shape. Morning is therefore the right time to apply sunscreen, then for prolonged exposure, such as on vacation at the beach, apply every two hours.
Why apply sun protection?
We recommend applying sun protection not only to the face, but also to the body - and not just on children! The aim is not only to prevent future hyperpigmentation spots, but also to protect your skin from premature aging. The sun's rays contain UVA and UVB rays that penetrate the skin and can damage it. The higher the SPF you choose, the better the filters will protect your skin.

Tocobo: Bio Watery Sun Cream
If you love K-Beauty or follow skinfluencers on Instagram and social networks, you couldn't miss Tocobo's SPF50+ PA++++: Bio Watery Sun Cream. A real nugget! My verdict? The best on the market. The texture is very fluid, and the formula contains ingredients such as hyaluronic acid for hydration and mung bean to soothe the skin. Even though this cream contains chemical sunscreens, it's pleasant to use every day and feels like a skincare product. The big plus? No white marks. It is suitable for all skin types, including darker skins. It's also excellent just before applying foundation and make-up, as it doesn't fluff up. A real favorite! What's more, it's vegan and its light fragrance is reminiscent of the sea. It's available online for around 20 euros for 50ML.

Fotoprotector ISDIN Transparent Spray Wet Skin SPF 50
For the body, application is not always easy and can be long and tedious! At least that's what I think. I sometimes have trouble getting up from my deckchair (under the parasol I might add!) to apply milk everywhere. But I've got the solution! The spray! In this case, the ISDIN spray. It works just as well on dry skin as on wet skin when you're out of the water. It's refreshing, easy to apply and suitable for the whole family (children and babies included). My verdict? An ally for summer vacations. Its price is also attractive, around 22 euros for 250 ML, and you'll find it in any good pharmacy. Special mention should also go to ISDIN HydroLotion SPF 50 Fotoprotector Oil, which is great for giving the skin a moisturized, shiny finish while remaining well protected.
Derma:B - Everyday Sun Block SPF50+ PA++++
Looking for an all-rounder for face, body and the whole family, from babies to toddlers? I've got just what you need, and once again it's a Korean nugget. Derma:B - Everyday Sun Block SPF50+ PA++++! For me, Derma:B is THE best body care brand. Their moisturizing milks repair and hydrate the skin, and the prices are mini. So when I first tested this sun lotion, which combines all the brand's know-how in terms of moisturizing and care with the best sun filters, I said bingo! If you have to choose just one product to pack for your vacations, this is it. No white marquess, excellent hydration, a formulation full of interesting ingredients and maximum protection. And the price? Low! Less than 20 euros for 200ML on the internet.
