Malta's sunshine is one of our greatest gifts — but without the right protection, it's also one of our skin's biggest threats. Whether you're on the beach, running errands, or sitting by a window, UV rays are working against your skin 365 days a year.
Why SPF Is Non-Negotiable
If anti-aging serums, vitamin C, and retinol are already part of your routine but SPF isn't, you're leaving your biggest investment unprotected. UV radiation is the leading cause of premature ageing — fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and loss of elasticity. Today's formulas hydrate, mattify, fight dark spots, and sit beautifully under makeup. SPF is the one skincare product that does everything.
UVA vs UVB: Know the Difference
UVB rays cause sunburn and vary with the seasons. UVA rays penetrate deeper, causing collagen breakdown and dark spots — and are present all year round, even through glass. Always look for broad-spectrum protection with a 4–5 star UVA rating.
Choosing SPF for Your Skin Type
Oily or acne-prone? Choose oil-free gel or mattifying formulas that protect without clogging pores. Dry or mature skin? Go for hydrating creams enriched with antioxidants or anti-ageing actives. Sensitive or allergy-prone? Look for fragrance-free, hypoallergenic options with soothing ingredients.

- Apply 15–20 minutes before sun exposure so filters can fully bind to your skin.
- Use a generous amount — most people apply far too little and get only a fraction of the stated SPF.
- Reapply every 2 hours, especially after swimming or sweating.
- Yes — even in the office. UVA rays pass through glass.
- Don't forget your ears, neck, décolletage, and backs of hands.
After-Sun: The Step Most Skincare Lovers Skip
Sunscreen is only half the story. After a day in the sun — even with SPF — your skin benefits enormously from a dedicated after-sun product. These formulas calm inflammation, replenish lost moisture, and support the skin's natural repair process overnight.

Don't Forget Your Lips
Your lips have no melanin and very little natural UV protection — making them one of the most vulnerable areas on your face. An SPF lip balm is a small step with a big impact. Browse our full Sun & Tan collection for SPF lip protection options.
