La Roche-Posay Anthelios Cooling Water Sunscreen Lotion SPF 60

Sunscreen is an important part of any skincare routine and finding the right one for your specific needs is crucial. When looking for a sunscreen for sensitive skin, dermatologists often recommend mineral sunscreens that contain zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide. These ingredients provide great protection while being gentle on the skin. Anthelios sunscreens are all tested on sensitive skin and formulated for optimal skin tolerance.

There are two main types of sunscreens: chemical (organic) and mineral (physical). Mineral sunscreens, like those containing zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, sit on the surface of the skin and reflect or scatter UV rays. On the other hand, chemical sunscreens contain organic compounds like octocrylene and avobenzone that absorb UV rays into the skin.

Both types of sunscreens have their advantages and disadvantages. Mineral sunscreens start working as soon as you apply them, providing immediate protection. However, because they sit on the skin's surface, they may rub or sweat off more easily. On the other hand, chemical sunscreens take about 15 minutes to properly absorb into the skin, meaning that you may not be immediately protected upon application.

It's important to consider your skin type and specific needs when choosing a sunscreen. Whether you have normal to dry skin or are looking for soothing, antioxidant hydration, there is a sunscreen out there for you. From gentle hydrating cleansers to cooling water lotions, there are a variety of products to suit your skincare routine.

Anthelios offers a range of sunscreens with different SPF levels to provide the protection you need. From SPF 30 to SPF 60, you can choose the level of protection that works best for your skin. With options for all skin types and concerns, Anthelios makes it easy to find the right sunscreen for you.
