Facial Sun Protection

Face sun protection is the skincare step that more than any other prevents long-term damage: spots, premature wrinkles, loss of tone and redness are direct consequences of exposure to UVA and UVB rays without adequate protection. This collection brings together 35 references — creams, fluids, sticks and sun serums — with protection factors from SPF 15 to SPF 50+, designed to meet different skin and lifestyle needs.

Skin that reddens or reacts to the sun? The solution is high SPF

Sensitive and hypersensitive skin are among the most exposed to sun damage: redness appears quickly, the skin barrier weakens and the risk of burns increases. For this type of skin, the collection offers specially formulated products:

• Ischia Eau Thermale SPF 50+ for face and body, with fluid and creamy texture that absorbs without leaving white or oily residue, water-resistant
• Collistar Face Cream Active Protection SPF 50+ dedicated to hypersensitive skin, with high protective action
• Collistar Sun Stick for Hypersensitive Skin SPF 50+, convenient to apply on the go on delicate areas
• Byron Bay Sunstick SPF 50, formulated with nourishing butter to protect particularly exposed areas like nose, cheekbones and eye contour

Heavy textures and white cast: they end here

One of the most common objections to daily sun protection use is the feeling of heaviness or the classic white cast that makes it difficult to apply under makeup. The lightweight and invisible texture references in the collection solve this problem at its root:

• Astra Skin SPF50 Face Sun Fluid — fluid and imperceptible texture, ideal as the last step of the morning routine before makeup
• Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Rice + Probiotics SPF 50+ PA++++ — Korean sun serum with very high protection, lightweight and compatible with every skin type
• Skin 1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water Fit Sun Serum SPF 50 PA++++ — water-fit formula with high protection, ideal for those seeking an aqueous and non-greasy feel
• Byron Bay Face Matt Finish SPF 30 — sun cream with anti-shine matte effect, perfect for combination skin that tends to shine throughout the day

Protection and golden tan: you don't have to choose

Many give up sun protection because they want to tan. In reality, screening out harmful rays doesn't mean blocking color: several products in the collection combine UVA/UVB protection with a progressive or immediate tanning effect.

• Collistar Protective Magic Drops Anti-Age Illuminating SPF 50 — drops that protect and give luminosity to the face with an antioxidant touch
• Collistar Tanning Face Cream Global Protection Anti-Age SPF 30 — treatment that combines medium protection with anti-aging action
• Byron Bay Instant Bronzer SPF 30 — colored sun cream with immediate bronzed effect, formulated with natural DHA
• Collistar Tanning Protective Face Cream SPF 50 + Lip Stick SPF 30 — complete duo that doesn't forget lip protection, an area often neglected

Stick format protection: practicality without compromises

The sun stick is the most convenient format for those always on the move, who do sports, frequent mountains or need to reapply protection during the day without getting their hands dirty. The collection offers several options:

• Astra Skin Face Sun Stick SPF 50 — compact 11 gr format, invisible and delicate
• Bell Surf Sun Stick SPF 50+ Colored — colored water-resistant stick for sports and sea
• Collistar Gel Sun Stick SPF 50+ — gel version in limited edition for a fresh and lightweight texture
• Astra Skin Lip Sun Stick SPF 50 — specific protection for lips, an area at high risk of sunburn

How to choose the right SPF for the face

The choice of protection factor depends on phototype, exposure time and season. As a general rule: SPF 50 and 50+ are recommended for fair, sensitive skin or during prolonged direct exposure; SPF 30 is suitable for daily use in the city or for medium phototype; SPF 15 may be sufficient for brief and indirect exposure. All products in this collection protect against both UVB and UVA rays, guaranteeing broad-spectrum protection.

Combining face sun protection with a correct skincare routine amplifies results: the related categories of hydrating face treatments, antioxidant serums and after-sun body products complete a comprehensive approach to skin health all year round.
