Get High Protection Sunscreen For Sensitive Skin Conditions With Evy Sunscreen

A fascinating story - EVY Sunscreen started in the late 1990s when a Swedish chemist invented a new sunscreen technology.

Expert Tip for Sunscreens for Pale Skin

"Sun protection is essential, especially for pale skin that’s more vulnerable to sunburn and UV damage. For the best defence, choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen for pale skin with at least SPF 50 to shield against UVA and UVB rays. If your skin is sensitive, go for a mineral sunscreen with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, gentle, effective, and ideal for fair complexions. And don’t forget to reapply every two hours, even on cloudy days. It’s the easiest way to guard your glow, prevent pigmentation, and support healthy, radiant skin all year round."

Frequently Asked Questions

For very fair complexions that burn easily, dermatologists recommend using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 50. This higher SPF offers enhanced protection against both UVA and UVB rays, reducing the risk of sunburn and long-term skin damage. ​

Yes, mineral sunscreens containing zinc oxide or titanium dioxide are often preferred for sensitive skin. They provide physical barriers that reflect UV rays and are less likely to cause irritation compared to chemical sunscreens. ​

To avoid a white cast, opt for sunscreens labelled as "sheer," "invisible," or "tinted." These formulations are designed to blend seamlessly into the skin, providing protection without the chalky residue. ​

Absolutely. Tinted sunscreens can offer additional benefits by evening out skin tone and reducing redness, which is particularly helpful for those with fair skin prone to rosacea or blotchiness. ​

Many modern sunscreens are formulated with hydrating ingredients, making them suitable for daily use as a moisturiser. Look for products that offer both sun protection and skin-nourishing properties to streamline your skincare routine.​

It's recommended to reapply sunscreen every two hours, or immediately after swimming or sweating, to maintain effective protection throughout the day.​

Popular choices include La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra-Light Invisible Fluid SPF50, known for its lightweight texture and high protection, and Heliocare 360 Gel Oil-Free SPF 50, favoured for its gentle formula suitable for sensitive skin. ​

Yes, sunscreens have an expiration date, typically indicated on the packaging. Using expired sunscreen can result in reduced effectiveness, so it's important to check the date and replace products as needed.​

Yes, UV rays can penetrate windows and clouds, so wearing sunscreen indoors and on overcast days is advisable to ensure continuous protection.​

Look for non-comedogenic sunscreens, which are specifically formulated not to block pores. These are ideal for individuals with acne-prone or sensitive skin.​
