English Version | Sun: there’s no such thing as too much protection

Promises: to protect the skin from UVA/UVB rays, moisturizing it and giving it an even tan.
Vogue’s word: another Dior must-have (as if that were possible!), this time to carry in your bag throughout the summer months. This Dior Solar La Crème Protectrice SPF 50 has a fresh, non-greasy texture that is quickly absorbed, spreads over the skin and leaves a (very) pleasant fragrance. After application, the skin is protected against UVA/UVB rays and feels protected from external aggressions. Intensely moisturized, the skin looks more beautiful and exudes a satiny glow.

Dior Solar La Crème Protectrice SPF 50, € 42, Dior.

Promises: daily protection for the most delicate and sun-sensitive areas.
Vogue’s word: if you're looking for a sunscreen for daily use that fulfills all the functions inherent in a product of this kind, namely not shining too much and, on the other hand, not leaving your skin dry, this could be the solution. Fotoprotector Fusion Fluid SPF 50+ (immediately absorbed, non-comedogenic, mineral oil-free and, it should be emphasized, oil-control) is one of ISDIN's summer hits. With anti-ageing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and vitamin E, it reinforces the protection of the complexion, leaving it hydrated and illuminated. 

Fotoprotector Fusion Fluid SPF 50+, € 23.36, ISDIN at Perfumesecompanhia.pt.

Promises: to be a global anti-aging treatment with 360° protection.
Vogue's word: with its exclusive Trio-Molecular® formula, this is essential care for all skin types exposed to urban risk factors. La Protection Idéale offers 360° protection against the various skin aggressors that cause premature skin ageing, such as UV rays, blue light and pollution: Criollo Porcelana cocoa releases peptides that fight oxidative stress and photoaging caused by exposure to electronic screens and UV rays; Moringa Seed extract offers deep detoxification benefits; finally, a silky emulsion with Plant Ceramides reinforces the hydrolipidic barrier and Aloe Vera moisturizes and softens the skin.

La Protection Idéale SPF 30 PA+++, € 131, Eisenberg.

Promises: a high level of broad-spectrum protection for the body.
Vogue's word: with an irresistible scent (fresh notes of coconut water, bergamot and jasmine), this is the easiest way to fulfill the so-called “beach routine” - prepare, protect and prolong. In this case, it's the most critical part, the “protect.” During sun exposure, Sunissime Moisturizing Body Milk SPF50 offers high protection thanks to its broad-spectrum filter system that combines organic filters [UVB + UVA] with a complex of active ingredients to combat blue light and infrared rays. It also prevents the signs of photo-ageing (wrinkles, spots, sagging), for a global anti-ageing action. 

Sunissime Moisturizing Body Milk SPF50, € 29.90, Lierac.
