Sunscreen & Sun Cream SPF

Sunscreen and sun cream SPF products are essential for protecting the skin against the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Daily sun protection helps reduce the risk of sunburn, premature skin ageing, and long-term skin damage caused by sun exposure.

This collection includes a wide range of SPF formulations designed for everyday wear, outdoor activities, and sensitive skin needs, offering protection without compromising comfort or skin health.

Sunscreen skincare is suitable for year-round use and forms a core part of modern preventative skincare routines.

What is Sunscreen & Sun Cream SPF?

Sunscreen and sun cream SPF products are formulated to protect the skin from UVA and UVB rays. These rays contribute to visible skin ageing, pigmentation changes, and sun-related skin damage.

SPF products work by either absorbing or reflecting UV radiation, helping to shield the skin during daily exposure and prolonged time outdoors.

Benefits and Features of the Welzo Sunscreen & Sun Cream SPF Collection

Broad-spectrum protection: Helps defend against UVA and UVB rays.
Daily skin defence: Supports long-term skin health.
Lightweight formulations: Suitable for everyday use under makeup.
Sensitive-skin options: Designed to minimise irritation.
Multiple SPF levels: Tailored to different exposure needs.

Sun protection is often recommended as part of dermatologist-led routines found in dermatological skincare, where prevention is a key focus.

Why is Sunscreen & Sun Cream SPF Important?

UV exposure is one of the leading causes of premature skin ageing and uneven skin tone. Without protection, skin is more vulnerable to dryness, pigmentation, and sensitivity.

Consistent SPF use is especially important for individuals prone to irritation or redness, often supported by routines used in sensitive skin skincare.

How to Use Sunscreen & Sun Cream SPF Products?

Apply generously: Use sufficient product to cover all exposed skin.
Apply before exposure: Apply 15–20 minutes before going outdoors.
Reapply regularly: Especially after swimming or sweating.
Use daily: Even on cloudy days.

For best results, sunscreen is applied after cleansing with gentle formulas found in cleansers and before makeup or moisturiser.

Hydrating layers such as those from face serums can be used underneath SPF to support skin comfort throughout the day.

Side Effects or Interactions of Sunscreen & Sun Cream SPF

Mild sensitivity: Some formulas may cause irritation in reactive skin.
Eye stinging: Can occur if applied too close to the eyes.
Breakouts: Heavier formulations may not suit all skin types.

If dryness or irritation occurs, pairing SPF with supportive hydration from moisturisers can help maintain balance.
