In the harsh environment of the UAE, sunscreen becomes essential to your skincare routine. Applying sunscreen protects your skin from the sun's harmful rays, soothes inflammation, and reduces the risk of skin cancer.
However, sunscreens are not a one-size-fits-all product. We formulate different types of Bioderma sunscreen for various issues and skin types. Bioderma sunscreens are formulated to satisfy your skin's unique needs, from lotions and sprays to gel creams and compacts.
However, before buying a Bioderma sunscreen online, you must consider your skin type. Your skin type is crucial in determining which sunscreen provides the best protection. In this blog, we’ll help you understand what type of sunscreen you must buy for every skin type.
Understanding the different skin types
To determine what sunscreen is best for your skin, let's first understand the different skin types:
Dry Skin:
If you have dry, flaky, or itchy skin, select a sunscreen that provides hydration & restores your skin’s moisture. When choosing sunscreen for dry skin, buy one with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and sodium hyaluronate. Here are some of the best sunscreens for dry skin offered by Bioderma:
Photoderm Max Cream Spf50
Cicabio Spf50+ Repairing Cream
Normal Skin:
If you’re blessed with normal skin, then you can choose from a variety of sunscreens. Select a Bioderma sunscreen that you prefer and find easy to apply. Make sure to select a sunscreen with broad-spectrum protection. Here are some of the best sunscreens to buy from Bioderma if you have normal skin:
Photoderm Lait Ultra Spf 50
Photoderm Fluide Max Spf100
Photoderm After-Sun Milk
Sensitive Skin:
Avoid purchasing sunscreens with added fragrances and harsh chemicals if you have sensitive skin. Choose a sunblock cream that’s gentle on your skin and prevents risks of cellular damage. Consider buying a sunscreen with Spf50 or Spf50+ protection to protect your skin from the harsh UV rays. Here are some of the best sunscreen for sensitive skin offered by Bioderma:
Photoderm Max Brume Invisible Spf50+
Photoderm Cover Touch Spf50+
Combination/Oily skin:
If you have oily or acne-prone skin, buy oil-free sunscreens with a matt finish that won’t clog your pores. Purchase a lightweight and water-based sunscreen that allows your skin to breathe. Avoid sunscreens that contain ingredients like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. Here are some of the best sunscreens for combination/oily skin offered by Bioderma:
Photoderm Akn Mat Fluid Spf30
Photoderm Max Aquafluide Spf50+
4 things to look for before selecting a Sunscreen
Here are four things you should consider before purchasing a Bioderma Photoderm Sunscreen online:
Spf Level:
Spf level indicates the protection your sunscreen offers against UV rays. Bioderma offers sunscreen with Spf30 to Spf100 protection for you to choose from. Make sure you purchase sunscreen with the right level of SPF protection based on your lifestyle and skin type.
Broad-spectrum protection:
Look for sunscreens that offer broad-spectrum protection from both UVA/UVB rays. Buy a sunscreen that protects against sun damage, including sunburn and premature aging, and reduces the risk of skin cancer.
Water Resistant:
The climate of UAE plays a crucial role in selecting a Bioderma sunscreen. If you have an active lifestyle, select a long-lasting, sweat-resistant, lightweight sunscreen that protects your skin from the UAE’s hot and sunny climate.
Ingredients:
Avoid purchasing sunscreen with harmful chemicals and high amounts of fragrances. Always consult your dermatologist to select a sunscreen that contains ingredients that suit your skin type.
Conclusion
Selecting the right sunscreen for your skin type is essential to preserve & protect your skin from UVA/UVB rays. Buying a Bioderma sunscreen that suits your skin type reduces and prevents the risk of skin reactions and skin cancer. Also, consider the SPF level and daily requirements before purchasing a Bioderma sunscreen online. By understanding your skin type, it becomes much easier to filter and select the perfect Bioderma sunscreen for the harsh environment of the UAE.
