We already have little left for the long-awaited summer vacations and it is time to start thinking about everything we will need to pack before leaving. Surely we will need comfortable and light clothing, some flip flops and, above all, a good sunscreen.

Whether going to the beach, to the pool, to go sightseeing in a city or for a walk in nature, photoprotectors are an essential element to avoid burning our skin and not suffer the long-term consequences of these burns. We must be aware that UVA and UVB rays are there, impacting our skin, although sometimes we hardly notice them.

The sun is beneficial for health, but as long as it is taken in moderation and protected to avoid burns and irritation.

Cosmetic brands have developed a wide variety of photoprotectors that adapt perfectly to the conditions and needs of each skin. In addition, they do it in different formats so that we can choose the one we like the most: transparent, in spray format, in cream… We can find an endless number of body sunscreens to take care of our skin this summer.

At El Comprador de La Vanguardia we have chosen the six best ones that you can buy to show off healthy and protected skin throughout the holidays.

If you are not very fond of the unctuous sensation that a cream gives you, you should choose the ISDIN Transparent Spray Wet Skin SPF 30 sunscreen spray. A sunscreen that offers high protection against UVB and UVA rays.

It stands out for its invisible, refreshing and light texture that resists water. Thanks to its Wet Skin technology, the ISDIN sunscreen absorbs into both wet and dry skin, leaving no white residue and always maintaining the protection factor.

In addition, it is suitable for atopic and sensitive skin.

Anthelios UVMUNE 400 Invisible Spray SPF 50 from La Roche Posay is ideal for sensitive and reactive skin.

Its invisible and light texture does not irritate the eyes and is resistant to water, sweat and sand. Broad and photostable protection against UVA / UVB rays, thanks to the patented filtering system with Mexoryl XL combined with La Roche Posay Thermal Spring Water, soothing and antioxidant.

One of ISDIN’s star options is Hydro Lotion SPF 50, as it protects and revitalizes the skin against oxidative damage.

This biphasic body sunscreen enhances tanning and offers high protection against UVB and UVA rays. In addition, thanks to its formulation with Chlorella Maris, it is perfect for detoxifying and revitalizing our skin from the damage caused by solar radiation.

Another of the best photoprotectors that you can buy is this Spray SPF 50 from the Avène brand. A sunscreen with a hydroprotective texture, that is, it will provide you with a sensation of comfort and hydration on the skin for 6 hours, in addition to protecting you from possible sunburns.

This SPF 50 Spray contains a system of protective filters, provitamin E, which protects cells against free radicals, and thermal water, composed of soothing and anti-irritant properties.

If you think that a cream-textured sunscreen will protect you better, but you don’t want to feel sticky, you can choose this Isdin gel cream sunscreen.

A product that provides a refreshing and hydrating sensation, ideal for summer, since it is absorbed like a gel, but hydrates like a cream. It is waterproof and its silky, shine-free finish will make your skin healthy and hydrated.

A perfect sunscreen to share with the family.
