They are ideal for sensitive skin as they form a barrier on the skin's surface. If you have reactive or allergic skin, avoid chemical filters, which can cause irritation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Texture and formula for the cold season<\/strong><br \/>\nIn winter, your skin needs protection that includes moisturizing. Opt for an SPF cream that has an SPF formula <strong>slightly emollient<\/strong> and won't leave your skin oily or sticky, especially if you have combination or oily skin.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Resistance to perspiration<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you play winter sports or spend time outdoors, make sure you choose a cream <strong>water and sweat resistant<\/strong>. So you'll enjoy continuous protection even in extreme conditions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lip protection<\/strong><br \/>\nDon't forget to protect your lips too! Use a balm with SPF to prevent drying and cracking caused by wind and sun. Lips are often neglected, but are extremely vulnerable in the cold season.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Recommended SPF creams for winter<\/h2>\n<p>For effective protection and healthy skin, I recommend the following products, which you can find on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/flanis.ro\/en\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">Martin Clinic<\/a><\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/flanis.ro\/en\/magazin-online\/spf-kit\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>EM SPF kit<\/strong><\/a> - A complete package containing everything you need for daily sun protection.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/flanis.ro\/en\/magazin-online\/agedown-sunscreen-spf-50\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Agedown Sunscreen SPF50+ - fluid emulsion with sun protection, non-greasy formula and antioxidant effect 50ml<\/strong><\/a> - High protection, perfect for combination and oily skin.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/flanis.ro\/en\/magazin-online\/brightening-perfector-protectie-solara-spf-20\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Brightening Perfector Sun Protection SPF 20<\/strong><\/a> - It protects and brightens the complexion and is great for everyday use.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/flanis.ro\/en\/magazin-online\/sun-shield-tint-cool-broad-spectrum-spf-50\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Sun Shield Tint Cool Broad Spectrum SPF 50<\/strong><\/a> - A colorful product that offers complete sun protection and a natural finish.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/flanis.ro\/en\/magazin-online\/suzanobagimd-physical-defense-tinted-broad-spectrum-spf-50\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Suzanobagimd\u2122 Physical Defense Tinted Broad Spectrum SPF 50<\/strong><\/a> - Recommended for sensitive skin with physical UV filters 100% UV filters.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/flanis.ro\/en\/magazin-online\/obagi360-hydrafactor-broad-spectrum-spf-30\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Obagi360 HydraFactor\u00ae Broad Spectrum SPF 30<\/strong><\/a> - Intensely moisturizes and protects skin from the sun.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/flanis.ro\/en\/magazin-online\/spf-measuring-spoon\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>SPF Measuring spoon<\/strong><\/a> - Ensures the correct amount of cream is applied for complete protection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-522889383\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\n  \n    <div class=\"row large-columns-6 medium-columns-3 small-columns-1 row-small slider row-slider slider-nav-reveal slider-nav-push\"  data-flickity-options='{&quot;imagesLoaded&quot;: true, &quot;groupCells&quot;: &quot;100%&quot;, &quot;dragThreshold&quot; : 5, &quot;cellAlign&quot;: &quot;left&quot;,&quot;wrapAround&quot;: true,&quot;prevNextButtons&quot;: true,&quot;percentPosition&quot;: true,&quot;pageDots&quot;: false, &quot;rightToLeft&quot;: false, &quot;autoPlay&quot; : false}' >\n\n  <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-2076279901\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<h2>Other tips for complete sun protection<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Boost your protection with healthy eating<\/strong>: Eat foods rich in antioxidants, vitamin C and beta-carotene to reduce the harmful effects of UV rays on your skin.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Apply enough product<\/strong>Use the right amount of cream - usually the equivalent of two teaspoons for the face and neck.
