Suncare
The sun’s UV rays can cause long-term damage to the skin, leading to premature aging, dark spots, and loss of elasticity. Without proper protection, daily exposure accelerates wrinkles and increases the risk of skin damage.
At Clarins, we’ve carefully selected high-quality sunscreens designed to shield both face and body from harmful rays. Our formulas prioritise organic ingredients, ensuring gentle yet effective protection.
Whether you need a high SPF for intense sun exposure, like our Youth-Protecting Very High Protection Sunscreen, a deeply moisturizing SPF 50+ face cream, or a light, everyday sunscreen, we have the perfect product for you. Our range is designed to suit all skin types, from sensitive to oily, so everyone can enjoy the sun safely.

Any questions?
Our experts have the answers.
What does SPF mean, and what SPF is right for me?
SPF, or Sun Protection Factor, measures how well a sunscreen protects the skin from UVB rays, which are responsible for sunburn and can contribute to long-term skin damage. The higher the SPF, the greater the protection.
The ideal SPF for you depends on your skin type, sun exposure frequency, and your complexion. If you have fair or sensitive skin, or if you're planning to stay in the sun for a while, a higher SPF like 50+ is recommended. For daily wear or lower sun exposure, an SPF 30 may be sufficient.
Our sun care range is designed to be inclusive of all skin tones, ensuring a natural, invisible finish without leaving a white cast. Whether you need lightweight daily protection or high-performance SPF, we have the perfect solution for you.

Should I exfoliate my skin before applying sun care products?
Yes, exfoliating before sun exposure helps prepare your skin for a smooth, even, and long-lasting golden tan. By removing dead skin cells and impurities, you ensure sun care products penetrate evenly and provide optimal protection.
For the body, we recommend using a gentle, natural exfoliant like our Body Scrub for Smooth Skin, enriched with powdered bamboo. It smooths and renews the skin, ensuring a radiant, even tan. For the more delicate skin on your face, the Gentle Peeling Smooth Away Cream offers an ultra-gentle exfoliation, cleansing and refining skin texture without increasing sun sensitivity. Your skin is refreshed, silky smooth, and ready for sunny days!

Can sunscreen protect against pollution?
Most sunscreens are designed primarily to protect against UV radiation but offer little to no defense against pollution. For this reason, we have developed the Anti-Pollution Translucent Sunscreen, an advanced UV and pollution-protection cream. Our innovative formula not only shields your skin from harmful UV rays but also defends against common pollutants.
Can I apply sunscreen over make-up?
Yes, applying sunscreen over make-up is perfectly safe! In fact, it's actually recommended in order to ensure continuous protection throughout the day. At Clarins, we suggest using a lightweight, invisible sunscreen like our Anti-Pollution Translucent Sunscreen. Its ultra-light texture seamlessly blends over makeup without disturbing your look, while providing high SPF protection against UV rays and environmental aggressors.
Which face sunscreen is best for my skin type?
It's important to choose your face sunscreen based on your skin’s unique needs. If you have oily, combination, or blemish-prone skin, our Dry Touch Sun Care Creams (SPF30 and SPF50) offer a matte, non-greasy finish. If you prefer an ultra-lightweight feel, the watery Oil Mist is a great choice, while the meltingly soft Sun Cream and fluid Lotion Spray offer a more nourishing, velvety texture. No matter your skin type, we have the perfect sunscreen for you!
Are our products natural?
Our sunscreens are formulated with plant-based ingredients and enriched with powerful antioxidants to protect and nourish your skin. Featuring Clarins' exclusive Sun Plant Complex, they harness the benefits of botanical extracts, including organic aloe vera, to provide effective sun protection while caring for your skin. Committed to eco-responsibility, our formulas are inspired by nature and designed to be gentle on both your skin and the ocean.
