Summer, sun, sunshine – many people’s favourite time of the year is even more enjoyable with the right protection. Here are four special sun screen products made in Italy.
What comes to mind when you think of Italy? Pizza, Pisa, ancient Rome, honking Vespas – and sunny weather, right? Likely so, as Italy gets up to 10.8 hours of sunshine a day in summer. With this in mind, it’s no surprise that Italians know quite a bit about sun protection. That’s why I’d like to show you four interesting sun protection products from our store.
BioNike – defend yourself against the sun
Our range includes several BioNike
sun care products, with sun protection factor 6 up to over 50. The manufacturer calls its products Defence Sun – defend yourself against the sun, as it can attack your skin and cause lasting damage. BioNike relies on a triple-action formula, which the manufacturer describes as follows: the sun cream protects your skin from short-term damage while the so-called Network Expert technology increases the effectiveness of the UVA and UVB sun filter system and the cream repels free radicals formed by infrared radiation. On top of this, the Pro Repair Complex supports the DNA protection and repair mechanisms.
Sunscreen for sensitive skin
With such a high sun protection factor, those nasty UV rays don’t stand a chance. The brand Collistar from Milan originated from a pharmaceutical branch and is now available in over 40 countries. All their products are developed and manufactured in Italy. One of Collistar’s most important goal is to constantly improve its product formulas. Collistar strives to offer the right beauty products, especially for people with sensitive skin. If you have sensitive skin and are still looking for a sun protection cream, the Active Protection Sun Face Cream SPF 50+ might be the right one for you. According to Collistar, it’s specially tailored to care and protect sensitive facial skin.
Anti-aging sunscreen
The brand Élève offers sun care products with a high SPF that also prevents premature aging of the skin. At the same time, Élève's bronzage products fight the first signs of aging. On top of offering UVA and UVB protection, Élève’s products also provide an even tan and make your face feel soft and smooth without being oily.
After sun care
Davines is also a brand that operates entirely in Italy. In fact, the family business has its origins in the beautiful town of Parma. All of Davines’ products are vegan. Sustainability is also a priority for the manufacturer. Climate-neutral packaging and production using renewable energy sources make sure you can shop and sunbathe with a clear conscience. The brand originally made a name for itself in the hair care sector. After all, it’s not only your skin, but also your hair that will thank you for some extra care after being exposed to the sun.
According to the manufacturer, this hair mask is suited to the needs of hair that’s been strained by the sun, salt and chlorinated water. Here’s how it works: apply the mask after washing your hair and leave it on for five to 15 minutes. Wash it off and your hair will feel smoother, shinier and more moisturised, as Davines promises.
A major plus is that the product is designed to be absorbed quickly – perfect if you have places to go after your hair care routine.
Have fun sunbathing!
