Any questions?

Our experts have the answer

Protecting yourself using sun care products, like sun creams and facial sunscreens, prior to sun exposure is absolutely essential to protect against UV damage, premature ageing and to gain a safe, golden tan. Whether you are looking for an everyday face sunscreen or sun care products before a sun-bathing session, our beauty experts have all the free sun care advice that you need to achieve a natural tan, safely.

Do I need to exfoliate my skin before applying sun care products?

Exfoliating before sunbathing and applying sun care products can help prep your skin for an even, golden tan that lasts much longer. This is the reason why many enjoy hammam body treatments when travelling abroad, prior to sun-bathing. We recommend opting for natural exfoliants which will not increase sensitivity to the sun, such as our Body Scrub for Smooth Skin. Containing powdered bamboo, this body scrub will leave your limbs silky smooth ready for days in the sun.

To avoid an uneven, patchy face tan, we recommend using our Gentle Peeling Smooth Away Cream. Ideal for all skin types, the exfoliating cream gently cleanses, removes dead skin cells and nourishes skin prior to sun exposure.

How do I achieve a natural, safe tan using sun care products?

To achieve a natural, safe tan, it is important to apply quality sun creams and facial sunscreens to avoid UV damage and premature fine lines or wrinkles. Look for sun care products which offer UVA and UVB protection. UVA protection defends skin against photo ageing (such as leathery skin, pigmentation and wrinkles) and potentially skin cancer, whilst UVB protection can prevent sunburn and has strong links to protecting against skin cancer.

For the safest natural tan, opt for SPF30 and SPF50 sun care products for high protection whilst also achieving a tan. Make sure to apply frequently as per the guidelines of your sun cream, usually every two hours.

Note that sun care products have an expiry and can lose their protective qualities after months of no use. For this reason, we recommend getting a new sun cream or face sunscreen prior to prolonged sun exposure (such as going on holiday) to ensure you are receiving the correct levels of protection.

Which sun care products and face SPFs are right for me?

The right sun care products and face SPFs for you will depend on your skin type, how often you will be exposed to the sun and sometimes, your complexion. Clarins sun care products are compatible with all skin tones and you can pick a formula based on your preference. If you prefer a lighter texture on your body, opt for the Sun Care Body Oil Mist SPF30. For a more moisturising consistency, try our Gel-to-Oil, Body Lotion and Body Cream formulas in SPF30 or SPF50.

Choose your face sunscreen based on your skin type. Oily, combination and blemish-prone skin types might prefer our Dry Touch Sun Care Creams for Face in SPF30 and SPF50. City dwellers that might apply their face SPF under make-up will prefer our UV Plus [5P] Anti-Pollution SPF50 Moisturising Fluid.

What texture sun care product should I choose?

The Clarins Laboratories have poured their expertise into developing an innovative, sensory-focused range of sunscreens, featuring products to suit all preferences thanks to the range of different, unique textures! The lightweight, watery Oil Mist, the meltingly soft, velvety Sun Cream, or the fluid Lotion Spray - which speaks to you?

Whatever your preference, enjoy the caring goodness of our sun care products with the delicate, natural scent they layer over skin. Like a warm summer breeze!

Which is the best face SPF for UVA and UVB protection?

The Dry Touch Sun Care Cream for Face in SPF30 and SPF50 is water and sweat-resistant with a dry to the touch and matte finish, ideal for oily, combination and blemish-prone skin.

These face sunscreens are enriched with plant extracts and antioxidants, complete with the Sun Plant Complex developed by Clarins, and featuring organic aloe vera. Eco-responsible, organically inspired treatments that are gentle on your skin and our oceans.

Back in town, apply the Anti-Pollution Multi-Protection Sunscreen over your anti-aging treatments or serums to be safe in the knowledge that skin is shielded from urban pollution, free radicals, and UV rays.
