The sun can be your best friend but also your worst enemy. Your body needs the sun to improve mood, strengthen bones, muscles, and the immune system. All thanks to vitamin D, a vitamin you can only synthesize through the action of sunlight. According to experts, 8 to 15 minutes of exposure in summer is enough to get the daily dose your body needs.
If you are in the sun for more than this quarter of an hour, you need to protect your skin against the negative effects of ultraviolet rays. It doesn’t matter if it’s winter or summer, sunny or cloudy. If you want to avoid premature aging, dehydration, and spots, it’s essential to use a quality sunscreen. Especially on the face, the part of your body most exposed to the outdoors all year round.
Why you should use facial cream with sunscreen, and not just in summer
Did you know that wind, cold, and temperature changes also affect the skin on your face? In cold temperatures, oil production decreases and your skin’s natural protective film becomes thinner. Your face dehydrates and you may feel tightness, redness, and flaking. Over time, this leads to premature wrinkles.
Facial creams with sunscreen will be your best ally all year round, even in winter. Toskani’s Sun Protection Cream is specially designed to prevent facial dehydration even in winter. Its main active ingredient, urea, has a high moisturizing power to combat the effects of cold and wind on the face.
Can I use facial sunscreen if I have oily skin?
If you have oily skin, you need the best sunscreen cream for oily skin. A cream that hydrates and protects you from the sun, specifically for oily skin.
TSK Sun Protection Cream PRO contains retinol, a vitamin A derivative known for its ability to penetrate the deepest layers of the skin to renew cells and stimulate collagen and elastin production.
Sun Protection Cream PRO is an anti-acne facial sunscreen because retinol also inhibits excessive oil production, reducing shine and preventing clogged pores.
Retinol is perfect for preventing and treating acne due to its anti-inflammatory action. It exfoliates and regenerates, and also softens acne marks and scars. Combined with Mimosa tenuiflora extract, which has antibacterial properties, with Sun Protection Cream PRO you will enjoy the sun protection you need while improving your facial skin’s balance.
When should I use an anti-spot facial sunscreen?
Spots appear due to excess melanin in certain areas of the skin, especially on the face. Besides excessive sun exposure without protection, spots can be related to some medications or genetic or hormonal factors.
Melanin is a substance that pigments the skin, hair, and eyes. Melanin is responsible for that tan color you like so much. It’s your skin’s defense system to absorb ultraviolet rays and prevent cellular damage.
But melanin is not infallible. Prolonged sun exposure without protection can cause burns and, over time, the appearance of spots. You can avoid this by using an anti-spot facial sunscreen with SPF 50 like Sun Protection Cream or Sun Protection Cream Pro and enjoy the outdoors without fear of premature aging of your face.
Discover the benefits of mimosa extract in facial sunscreen
Besides urea and retinol, the facial sunscreen Sun Protection Cream includes one of the star ingredients in cosmetics: Mimosa tenuiflora extract, known in Mexico as tepezcohuite. Pre-Columbian cultures already knew the properties of this tree, but it was rediscovered in the 1990s when powdered bark was used to treat burns in patients from the 1985 earthquake.
Known as the skin tree, Mimosa tenuiflora extract, besides its regenerative properties, is anti-inflammatory and antibacterial (anti-acne), healing, firming, and anti-aging, thanks to its high tannin content (antioxidants). Antioxidants increase the skin’s impermeability by blocking the action of free radicals.
The mimosa extract added to the facial sunscreen also promotes deep hydration due to its high amino acid content. Amino acids help reduce water loss, keeping your facial skin hydrated and soft for longer.
Is it better to use tinted facial sunscreen or sunscreen and makeup?
This is the big question we ask ourselves when winter arrives and we want our face to have a slight tan. To answer it, let’s analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each product.
Tinted facial sunscreen aims to protect the skin from solar radiation and gives us a touch of color. It lightly covers imperfections. Usually, only two shades are available on the market, or one that adapts to any skin tone.
The purpose of makeup with sunscreen is to cover imperfections, neutralize redness, or hide wrinkles. As a bonus, it provides protection and you can find many shades to match your skin color.
Therefore, it depends on what you need at each moment: a natural tone with protection or strong coverage that also protects you from the sun and weather conditions.
At Toskani, we are researching these products to provide solutions that best meet your needs with the most innovative options.
