Protect yourself from the sun: 10 of the best hydrating SPFs

I happened to chat with three different people in quick succession, all of whom went on vacation (separately) and all got sunburned. One said she never wore sunscreen at home and normally took time off, but because she was swimming she didn't think it mattered. The second person hated sunscreen because: "It's so thick and muddy and leaves a white mark." »And then there is the one who doesn't care because he thinks it prevents him from tanning. The misinformation around SPF gives me a headache, but there you go, again. Unless you live in a house without windows, you need sunscreen all year round. Formulations have changed, so dense, white iterations are less prominent – ​​most mimic the texture and results of great skincare. The sun is your “enemy”. It’s a great source of vitamin D, aka your friend. But it is also your enemy because it damages your skin. There's nothing healthy about tanning: it's just sun damage. Sunscreen protects against skin cancer and skin burns, but it also protects you from hyperpigmentation and premature aging. At the very least, I hope people start wearing sunscreen out of sheer vanity.
