Which day cream with SPF should you choose for your PCA skin type?
PCA skin offers day creams with SPF tailored to your skin type with varying levels of hydration, all formulated with added antioxidants that help prevent sun-induced skin damage.
In addition, PCA skin's SPFs are approved and recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation for daily use because they protect not only against UVB, but offer full broad-spectrum protection.
When should you use this cream?
Creams with SPF are definitely recommended from spring onwards and during the summer; the cream can be used in the morning after cleansing (and serum) as a day cream and then reapplied whenever you are outdoors as a sunscreen. However, UVA, visible light, and blue light are also present during autumn and winter, so you can continue to use the day cream in the morning all year round.
During spring and summer, reapply every 2 hours when outdoors because the sun's intensity is higher then.
What is a broad-spectrum SPF?
The SPF factor indicates the amount of protection against UVB contained in the sunscreen. A broad-spectrum SPF, such as these from PCA skin, also contains protection against UVB as well as high protection against UVA, visible light, infrared light, and blue light. It is precisely the latter that contributes most to skin aging, pigment spots, and long-term skin cancer.
So please note: not all sunscreens that provide broad-spectrum protection have equally high protection; the SPF factor only refers to protection against UVB rays.
Which PCA skin SPF is best for your skin type?
Weightless Protection Broad Spectrum SPF45
This is for oily to combination skin prone to blemishes. Due to its light texture, it is also suitable for those who do not want a thick texture. It contains caffeine, which protects against cellular damage, and the powerful antioxidant silybin from milk thistle, which also helps limit edema and sunburn.
Hydrator Plus Broad Spectrum SPF30
This is suitable for normal to dry and mature skin. It contains, among other things, silybin—an antioxidant that has a soothing effect and helps with burns—and glycerin, a moisturizer and emulsifier that binds moisture to the skin. It is one of the most effective moisturizers that is well-tolerated by the skin.
This day cream offers ideal sun protection against water and sweat. The formula has a light texture.
Sheer Tint Broad Spectrum SPF45
