Foundation with SPF 50. Foundation Vitalumiere Aqua, Chanel. Meishoku moisture essence cream spf40

Even if the direct rays of the sun do not hit the skin, this does not mean at all that you can be outdoors without protection. If you can't imagine your make-up without foundation, choose those products that include UV filters. What does SPF on foundation mean?

Foundation creams with SPF not only fulfill their direct duties - even out tone, hide imperfections, visually reduce pores, but also protect from the sun.

How to choose the level of protection required for the summer?

  • Cosmetologists claim that a person with normal type skin should choose tonal products with a protection level of SPF 10-15, and on sunny days - SPF 25-30.
  • If the skin is prone to pigmentation, you should pay attention to foundation creams with SPF 25, and for hot sunny days- even SPF 50.

Which SPF foundation is worth choosing for the summer without a doubt? We have compiled a rating of the best.

Why do you need SPF in foundation

If we are talking about foundation, then we are hardly going to the beach. Nevertheless, it is important to remember about cosmetics with SPF not only on vacation.

“If there is no sun in the sky, this does not mean that there are no UV rays in the atmosphere. Even dense clouds block 10% of the rays, the remaining 90% continue to affect the skin. At the same time, clouds and even rain clouds are not an obstacle for UVA rays, which are most dangerous to health (like glass). Therefore, in autumn and winter, it is also worth using Sanskrin. You can only reduce the factor: if in summer a city in central Russia needs SPF 30, then 15-20 will be enough in autumn. In northern latitudes, it is permissible all year round use SPF 20. If you have a tendency to pigmentation, many moles or very light skin, you need SPF 50+ regardless of the season. "

SPF day care - whether it be a moisturizer, BB or foundation, is not just a summer choice if:

  1. 1

    you have a tendency to redness, rosacea, hyperpigmentation;

  2. 2

    you use night remedies with fruit acids, vitamin C high concentration, retinol and other components that increase skin photosensitivity.

What sun filters to look for in foundation

There are two types of filters.

  1. 1

    Physical or mineral (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) are mineral powder whose particles reflect sunlight.

  2. 2

    Chemical are organic compounds that react to ultraviolet light and trigger a reaction, as a result of which harmful UV radiation is converted into harmless heat radiation. An example of such filters is Mexoryl XL, SX.

In foundations, it is easy to combine both forms of sun protection: mineral pigments can also delay solar radiation, but you should not rely only on their protection. A combination of physical and chemical filters is the best option.

Although not all that simple.

Features of using foundation with SPF

Let's be honest: sun protection factor in foundations is necessary, but may not be sufficient, no matter how high the indicator on the package is.


You need a lot of sunscreen. On the face - about a teaspoon. There are several dining rooms on the body. © iStock

    The chemical filter needs to be renewed every 2-3 hours. This is the period of its decay under the influence of ultraviolet radiation.

    In a period of high solar activity, to fully protect the skin on the face, you need to apply about a third of a teaspoon of Sanskrin - a few drops of a foundation with SPF is definitely not enough.

Action: Before going outside, apply sunscreen spray over makeup.


The sunscreen spray is very useful both on vacation and in the city. © iStock

    SPF means the degree of protection against UVB rays.

    Letters UVA in a circle - protection against UV-A rays. They do not cause burns, but are more hazardous to health and provoke photoaging.

    PPD- UV protection type A.

    PA +++(number of pluses varies) shows the ratio of UVB to UVA. The product has a wide range of protection.

HOW TO CHOOSE FOUNDATION CREAM FOR SUMMER

5 tips from Olga Ibrakova, dermatovenerologist at the Tori Cosmetology Center.

1.First of all, be guided by the type of skin, as a rule, a similar marking is indicated on the package. If difficulties arise with this criterion, then you need to choose a tool based on its texture.

2. The denser the foundation, the more it clogs the ducts. sebaceous glands... Be careful - this can lead to inflammation.

3.Do not use too much persistent remedies(8 hours or more) constantly. They are good at special occasions- a social event or a photo session, for example. But every day this "make-up" is a blow to the skin.

4. In case of acne, it is better to replace the foundation with a lighter product - a fluid with SPF or BB-cream, which does not clog pores.

5. After finishing your makeup, spray over the foundation thermal water: It will give the skin a beautiful moist glow.

We hope you know perfectly well what to apply. sunscreen on the skin you need constantly - you sunbathe on the beach, drink cocktails on a sun lounger under an umbrella or go to work on a cloudy day. The fact is that ultraviolet rays easily pass through the haze of clouds, and it is important to remember this (especially with the onset of the spring-summer season).

Why are SPF products so important? Being in the sun without correct protection can seriously affect health, dramatically increasing the risk of premature wrinkles and skin cancer. Moreover, skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer with more than 4,000,000 cases diagnosed each year.

Recall that there are two types ultraviolet rays: UVBs that cause sunburn, and UVA, which penetrate deeper into the skin. Today in cosmetic stores you can find a lot of products with SPF and impressive numbers nearby, but how to choose perfect option and, importantly, few know how to use it correctly. In this article, we have collected seven myths about sunscreen products at once, which we advise you to stop believing in right now.

1. All sunscreens are the same

No, it is not - sunscreens can differ in the way they protect the skin. Some manufacturers use zinc oxide or titanium dioxide to filter UVA and UVB rays, while others use chemicals (such as avobenzone) to do the same. Newer sunscreen ingredients that are not yet widely used are helioplex and meroxyl, which are excellent photostabilizing properties.

Which one provides better protection- a question for scientific discussion. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, it is important to first look for a sunscreen that has an SPF of 30 or higher, covering both UVA and UVB rays.

2. Moisturizer must be SPF

“Only one of the products you use every morning should have an SPF of 30 or higher,” Mona Gohara, professor of dermatology at Yale University, told Allure. In other words, SPF is SPF found in your foundation, daily serum, or moisturizer.

3. Protection SPF 15 is enough

Experts point out that the minimum SPF that you need to use on your face, even if you are sitting in the office from morning to evening, is SPF 30. At the same time, in order for the sun protection factor to work in full force, you need to apply about half a teaspoon of the product to your skin.

4. Lotions, sprays and creams work in different ways

“Actually, there is no significant differences... These are just means of protection against sun rays so the choice depends on which format the consumer likes, ”says James Spencer, a Florida-based dermatologist to WebMD. The expert notes that men, according to statistics, are more likely to use alcohol-containing sprays, since they do not like fatty foods. While women are more suitable for lotions and cream products that provide nutrition and hydration. But whichever form you choose, try to apply the product according to all the rules: on dry skin and 15-30 minutes before you go outside.

5. Several SPF products protect better

“SPF is not an equation. That is, you cannot use tonal SPF remedy 15 and SPF 20 powder to get SPF protection 35, comments Mona Gohara. - In the end, your defense will be as strong as the highest factor. That is, SPF 20 ". However, if you are only applying tone to small areas of the face, it is wise to double the amount of SPF products to increase the overall coverage.

6. Foundation with SPF works up to 8 hours

Despite the fact that this is an obvious lie (more beautifully - marketing ploy), it is difficult to find a girl who will remove the foundation and reapply it every two hours. Alas and oh, any SPF product works in full force for only 2 hours, after which the activity of the product decreases, and within an hour it completely disappears. There is a simple and logical way out of this situation - to use a weightless powder with SPF 30 and above, and to correct makeup every two hours with its help.

7. Last year's bottle will still work

The SPF product you used last summer hasn't expired yet? “Great, so you don’t have to buy a new one,” you think, and you are wrong. “If you have sunscreen left over, you have not used it often enough or applied as much as needed,” explains Jennifer Stein, NYU MD ( New york University). "If you are doing everything right, then you will definitely have to buy a new bottle."

How wonderful that technology does not stand still, and the times when it was necessary to apply 50 different creams to the face in order to maintain youth and look good are long gone. Most of the foundations now contain SPF and a fresh complexion is now also a protector for us. We invite you to familiarize yourself with our selection of effective tonal bases with different degrees of protection.

WHY DO YOU NEED SUN PROTECTION?

The answer is simple: to protect own health and beauty. I don't think I will open America if I remember about malignant diseases and allergies that can provoke an excess of sunlight.
