The experts at LovelySkin have partnered with La Roche-Posay to share reliable sunscreen recommendations from their Anthelios line.
Warmer, sunnier days are right around the corner, which means it’s time to make sure you have the sun protection products your skin needs for everyday use, as well as when your plans include spending time at the pool or beach. La Roche-Posay’s Anthelios range of advanced broad-spectrum sunscreens includes options for all skin types, tones and concerns—plus antioxidants to help protect your skin against skin-damaging free radicals no matter what’s on the agenda. So, we’re here to fill you in on the best sunscreens in two categories:
Sun protection is essential 365 days a year, but it’s wise to up the SPF ante for spring and summer. Once you commit to finishing your morning skin care routine with an Anthelios broad-spectrum sunscreen, you can rest assured that you’re providing your skin with the UVA/UVB and antioxidant protection necessary for maintaining your skin’s health (and appearance) while also providing extra skin care benefits while you’re at it.
