If you’re a fan of Anthelios sunscreens, then you probably use them year round. Not only are they great at protecting against sunburn in the summer, they also protect against UVA rays both in summer and winter. UVA rays are the deeper penetrating rays that contribute to wrinkles, saggy skin and premature skin aging.
Our customers often wonder if the Anthelios sunscreen that they use during the summer is fine for winter use. And the answer is – usually. Colder temperatures and lower humidity can lead to skin dryness. And if you’re someone who contends with this, then you may wish to opt for a more emollient sunscreen formulation in the winter.
While a product like Anthelios Fluide Extreme SPF 50+ is ideal for those who prefer a lighter sunscreen formulation, you may find that it doesn’t sit well on your skin during the winter. If this is the case opt for a creamier textured Anthelios sunscreen.
Anthelios Creme SPF 50+, Anthelios XL SPF 60 and Anthelios XL SPF 45 deliver great protection in a creamier base. Anthelios Lait SPF 50+ fits in between the Crème formulations and Fluide Extreme, more like a lotion vs a cream base.
So, yes Anthelios sunscreens are perfect to use during the winter. Just keep in mind that your skin care needs may change so adjust accordingly.
