Our experts have the answer

Choosing the right sun protection is an important part of your daily skincare routine. Whether you're looking for everyday facial SPF, a convenient sunscreen stick for on-the-go protection or high-protection sun care for your body, Clarins offers a range of formulas to suit your needs. Explore our expert answers to common questions about daily sun protection, application and reapplication to help you make the most of your SPF routine.

Why is daily sun protection important, even when it's cloudy?

UVA rays can penetrate clouds and window glass, while UVB rays are a major cause of sunburn. Regular sunscreen use helps protect your skin against UV damage that can contribute to premature ageing and uneven pigmentation. Make sun protection part of your daily routine, especially when spending time outdoors.

Where should SPF fit into my morning skincare routine?

Apply your facial sunscreen as the final step of your skincare routine, after your favourite face skincare products, including face serums and moisturisers, and before makeup. Follow the sunscreen's application instructions and allow the product to settle before applying makeup.

How do I choose the right Clarins facial sunscreen?

Choose a formula based on your preferred finish and daily routine. The UV Plus [ADVANCED] collection includes Rosy Glow SPF50 PA++++ Multi-Protection for a rosy finish and Translucent SPF50 PA++++ Multi-Protection for a clear finish. For a convenient option when you're on the move, explore the Clarins Sun Care collection, which also includes a face sunscreen stick and other facial sun protection options.

How much sunscreen should I apply, and how often should I reapply?

Apply a generous, even layer of sunscreen to all exposed skin, following the product's instructions to achieve the labelled level of protection. Remember to cover commonly missed areas, such as your ears and neck. Reapply as directed on the product label, particularly after swimming, sweating or towel-drying. Applying too little sunscreen can reduce the protection you receive.

Can I use a sunscreen mist or stick to reapply SPF?

Convenient formats can help you maintain your sun protection routine throughout the day. The Clarins Sun Care collection includes a Face Sunscreen Stick SPF50 for targeted application and a Body Sunscreen Mist SPF50+ for the body. Always follow the individual product's directions and apply enough product to achieve the stated protection. Do not rely on a light misting or a quick swipe alone to provide adequate coverage.

What's the difference between facial and body sunscreen?

Facial sunscreens are designed for use on the face, while body sunscreens are formulated for protecting larger areas of exposed skin. Clarins offers options such as the UV Plus [ADVANCED] facial sunscreens and body sun care formulas, including SPF30 and SPF50+ options. Choose a suitable product for each area and follow its application instructions.

Is sunscreen still necessary when I wear makeup with SPF?

Makeup with SPF can provide additional protection, but it should not replace your dedicated facial sunscreen. Apply your sunscreen generously before makeup and follow the product's reapplication instructions throughout the day. Explore the Clarins makeup collection to complement your daily skincare and sun protection routine.
