The best suncare for you depends on the level of protection you need, where you’ll be applying it and your specific skin type. Clarins offers everything from high protection SPF 30 to very high protection SPF 50+, so you can adapt your routine depending on how long you’ll be in the sun and how strong the rays are. You can also select formulas created especially for the face or body, designed with textures that suit each area.
Your skin type will guide you towards the most comfortable formula. Those who prefer a light may enjoy the UV 50 Day Screen Multi-Protection. Oily or combination skin can benefit from the Dry Touch Facial Sunscreen SPF 50+ or Dry Touch Facial Sunscreen SPF 30, an SPF face cream with a non-greasy, matte finish.

Whichever texture you choose, Clarins suncare products combine high-performance filters with a pleasant sensory experience, so daily protection becomes second nature.

Exfoliating before applying your suncare cream isn’t essential every time, but it does have its benefits. Using a body scrub or facial exfoliator helps sweep away dead skin cells, leaving a smooth surface so sunscreen spreads more evenly. With gentle, circular motions, you can exfoliate your body to reveal softer skin, then follow with a moisturizer to keep it supple and comfortable in the sun. Well-prepped, exfoliated skin is also the secret to a more even, golden tan that lasts longer — whether you’re soaking up the sun with SPF or applying a self tanner at home.

The secret to a natural tan is combining effective protection with skin-loving care. Choose an SPF that adapts to your exposure levels and skin’s needs. Apply sun protection generously and reapply every two hours, especially after swimming or perspiring. And remember: suncare products can lose effectiveness over time, so it’s best to refresh your favourites if they’ve been sitting in your cupboard for a while.
After a day outdoors, replenishing your skin with an after-sun treatment helps soothe and hydrate your skin while keeping your tan more even and luminous for longer.
If you’d prefer a natural-looking tan but want to avoid UV exposure, Clarins self-tanners deliver that golden, just-back-from-holiday glow with no sun required.

UVA and UVB rays both damage the skin, but in different ways. UVA rays penetrate more deeply and are a significant cause of photoaging, leading to wrinkles, pigmentation and loss of firmness. The best way to combat these rays is with an anti-aging sun cream with broad-spectrum protection to help keep skin youthful and radiant. UVB rays are stronger at the surface and are the main cause of sunburn, so skin exposed without protection may later need special sunburn care.
The safest way to enjoy the sunshine is with broad-spectrum formulas that filter both UVA and UVB. Clarins’ Sun Care Guide makes it easy to choose the level of protection and texture that best suits your needs, so you can enjoy the sun with total peace of mind.

You should aways remember to wear a hat and sunglasses.
