The Importance of
Using UV Face Daily

We all know to apply sufficient sunscreen all year round even if there's no direct sunlight. However, a sunscreen that works perfectly for your body may not be suitable for your face. Since your face is more frequently exposed to sunlight than any other part of the body, it’s especially important to find the best possible face sunscreen.

We understand that the large selection of NIVEA face sunscreen products may create some questions about what is the right sunscreen for your lifestyle and skin type. Don’t worry – we have you covered.

Your face is more sensitive and susceptible to dryness, premature ageing and UV damage. Applying face sunscreen will not only protect against these risks but it will also prevent against the formation of dark spots and improve the appearance of existing wrinkles and pigmentation.

As for those who apply make-up on top, all that layering can leave a greasy feeling right before application, your make-up does not seem to stay in place and there may even be pilling sometimes. Our new NIVEA SUN UV Face Specialist 2in1 PRIMER DAILY UV SERUM SPF 50+, however, offers protection and smooths skin in seconds, perfectly preparing it for make-up.

Face Sunscreen
FOR DIFFERENT SKIN TYPES

Skin tone aside, your skin type also plays a role when choosing the right face sunscreen.

Those with sensitive skin

may wish to look for our sensitive skin products that pack extra moisturising benefits and choose UV protection products with SPF 50 or higher, if possible.

People with oily skin

might prefer to use a mattifying sunscreen since it is more readily absorbed and won’t increase the skin’s oily appearance.

Finding The Best Face Sunscreen
FOR YOURSELF

Don’t try to rely on products with SPF as an additional feature since this often won’t be enough to protect your face – especially during summer. For maximum protection, always apply sunscreen as the last step of your skincare routine.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
    ABOUT FACE SUNSCREEN

    Why should I apply UV protection everyday?
    Using sun protection on a daily basis not only helps to prevent short-term issues like sunburn – but also works long-term to prevent premature skin ageing (wrinkles and fine lines), hyperpigmentation and skin cancer.

    UV protection is even recommended when not exposed to direct sunlight. Daily application of facial sunscreen helps keep your skin’s elasticity, health, and youthful appearance.


    What’s The Difference Between Sunscreen For Face and Sunscreen For Body?
    Although a general sunscreen can be used all over the body, it may potentially be thick or oily, making it less suitable for the face’s delicate skin. Over time, this could cause irritation and lead to breakouts if used regularly on the face.

    For the best results, always opt for sun protection products especially designed for your face as they’re lighter, far less oily, and more readily absorbed.


    Are there different types of face sunscreen?
    When it comes to face sunscreen, there are two types: mineral and synthetic (otherwise known as chemical).

    • Mineral sunscreens typically contain zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which form a barrier that deflects harmful UV rays. However, they wash away more easily than synthetic sunscreens and therefore require topping up more regularly.

    • Synthetic sunscreens,     on the other hand, absorb and neutralise UV rays by chemically converting them into heat, which is then released by the body. Synthetic sunscreen is more like a lotion, which doesn't leave behind white residues after application.

    Regardless of skin tone, try to look for broad-spectrum face sunscreen as they protect against both UVA and UVB rays. Opting for a SPF 50 or higher sunscreen for the face will help to reduce the risk of premature skin ageing – and sunburn.


    How often should I reapply face sunscreen?
    You should reapply face sunscreen every two hours. If you are swimming, sweating, or towel drying, immediately reapply afterwards. Even water-resistant sunscreens can lose their effectiveness over time, so regular reapplication is needed for reinforcing protection against UV rays and defend your skin’s health.


    When should I apply sunscreen in my skincare routine?
    A skincare routine should always feature facial sunscreen, which can be applied in this order:

    • Toner
    • Serum
    • Moisturiser
    • Sunscreen
    • Make-up Primer or Concealer

    However, our new NIVEA SUN 2in1 Primer Daily UV Serum SPF 50+ can be applied after your serum or moisturiser once off, replacing sunscreen and make-up primer. It delivers immediate sun protection and instantly smooth skin to simplify your facecare and make-up routine.


    What is the shelf life of sunscreen?
    A sunscreen can maintain its sun protection qualities for about three years. However, you should always check the expiration date on the packing. The best way to determine if the product is no longer effective or expired, is to check if it has changed in colour, consistency, or smell.
