Sun cream isn’t just a summer staple, it’s one of the most important steps in any skincare routine, year-round. Whether you’re heading out into the sunshine or staying indoors, your skin is exposed to ultraviolet (UV) rays every day: even through clouds and windows.
Broad-spectrum sun creams work to protect against both UVA and UVB rays: the two key contributors to visible skin ageing and long-term damage. UVB rays are responsible for sunburn, while UVA rays penetrate deeper, accelerating fine lines, loss of firmness and uneven tone.
Daily SPF use is one of the most effective ways to protect your skin and maintain a healthy, radiant-looking complexion.
At Sephora, discover next-gen formulas that don’t just defend but also elevate your skincare routine with sensorial textures, skincare-infused ingredients and effortless wear.
Understanding SPF: Choosing the Right Protection
SPF, or Sun Protection Factor, measures how well a product helps protect against UVB rays: the ones that cause burning. Higher SPF means a higher level of protection, but consistency in application is what really makes the difference.
- SPF 30: ideal for daily use and city living
- SPF 50+: essential for prolonged sun exposure or holidays
- Broad-spectrum formulas: help protect against both UVA and UVB
Look for lightweight, comfortable textures that layer seamlessly into your routine, because the best SPF is the one you’ll actually wear every day.
From Caudalie’s Vinosun Protect range, designed to combine high protection with antioxidant skincare benefits, to Tatcha’s Silk Sunscreen, a weightless mineral formula that smooths and perfects the skin, there’s a solution for every routine and preference.
Find Your Perfect Sun Cream
Today’s sunscreens do more than protect, they enhance your skin’s look and feel, making SPF the most luxurious step in your routine.

How to Use Sun Cream Effectively
To get the most from your SPF, application is key:
- Apply generously as the final step in your morning routine
- Use daily, even when it’s cloudy or you’re indoors
- Reapply every two hours when exposed to sunlight
- Pair with sunglasses, hats and shade for optimal protection
Daily exposure adds up over time, making consistent use essential for maintaining healthy-looking skin.
Your Year-Round Skin Investment
Sun protection is more than prevention, it’s one of the easiest ways to future-proof your skin. By incorporating SPF into your daily routine, you’re helping to preserve skin quality, improve overall radiance and protect against environmental stressors.
From glow-boosting hybrids to invisible high-performance formulas, explore sun creams that make protection effortless and luxurious.
Think of SPF as your skin’s daily defence layer: the final, essential step that locks in your routine while shielding your glow.
