The sun is essential for life on Earth; however its radiation can have very negative effects on our organism, especially for our vastest organ, skin. For this reason, it’s very important to stay protected during the summer months, when the sun’s rays are most intense.

 UVA rays are able to penetrate our skin with ease, modifying the elastic fibres and causing our skin to age prematurely, leading to skin cancer in extreme cases. UVB rays favour the production of melanin, making us tanned within 48 hours. However, in excess, these rays can have the same negative effects as UVA rays, the most common being sun stains, photodermatosis, sunstroke, photosensitivity, etc. Also, if you have freckles, it is important to keep an eye on them so as to detect possible melanoma.

With all this said, the Avène 50 sun care range guarantees protection thanks to the exclusive combination of active ingredients: Sunsitive® protection, a UVA-UVB long-lasting protection system that works effectively; and pre-tocopheryl, which acts as a powerful antioxidant against the free radicals. Ideal for sensitive, irritated and sun-intolerant skin. This range has desensitizing and calming properties that make it ideal for any skin type, both for adults and children. Below is a description of all the Avène sun creams that can be found on our website.
