The latest in protection: Spaniards are increasingly exposed to the sun, 2,600 hours a year

In a country like Spain, with around 300 days of sunshine a year, and an average of 2,600 hours of sunshine a year, protecting our skin from the harmful effects of the sun is increasingly important, not only during the summer, but also during the rest of the year. “With global warming we can spend more time outdoors. Therefore, it is important to remember that when the sun exposure is more and more constant, we may need sun protection, even if we are not at the beach”, says Dr. Olivier Doucet, one of the leading spectrum experts solar in Europe and Vice President of Research

Designing an ultimate beauty product, one that would address all the needs mature women may have in terms of skin protection and anti-aging action, was the goal Lancaster had set for herself. The firm's leadership in Europe in regenerative science and sun protection, where it is also a pioneer, as well as its more than 300 patents and 200 scientific studies on skin care and photoaging throughout its more than 75 years of existence, they did not doubt that they would achieve it. And so it has been.

To help us maintain a good sun protection routine throughout the year, Lancaster has reinforced its most premium line, "Sun Perfect", with two new products. Here is the purpose and the feat we were talking about: the 'Sun Perfect Illuminating Cream', available in SPF 30 and SPF 50, and the 'SPF 50 Solar Perfecting Fluid'. Both treatments, especially indicated for more mature skin. “This type of skin needs a more powerful anti-aging action and solid sun protection. "Sun Perfect" is the definitive combination of high and broad sun protection (Full Light Technology) with very powerful anti-aging and illuminating technologies that address the main visible signs of aging: wrinkles, dull skin and age spots", the doctor clarifies. .

Thus, based on their extensive experience in skin care since 1946 and sun care since 1971, Lancaster scientists have developed Full Light Technology, which addresses 100% of the solar spectrum and is present in all its ranges. of sun protection. This innovative and advanced technology is exclusive to Lancaster and extensively protects the skin against UVB, UVA, visible light, including blue light and infrared light. Full Light Technology is also enriched by the firm's most powerful protection against blue light induced by the sun to which we are all exposed on a daily basis, both through indoor lighting and digital screens.

A protection that has now been increased up to 99%. “Recent studies have highlighted that blue light from the sun, from indoor lighting and ultimately from digital screens has an impact on our skin. Blue light creates free radicals, favors the darkening of the skin and contributes to its premature aging”, reveals Dr. Olivier Doucet.

Specifically developed for the face, Lancaster's ultra-advanced anti-aging sun care line "Sun Protect" is also formulated with other cutting-edge technologies such as Anti-Aging Technology (an infusion of powerful 3% niacinamide and ginger and soy extracts , boosted with a vitamin C derivative for an even, beautiful, and youthful-looking complexion), Glow Booster Complex (an infusion of mandarin orange and niacinamide that boosts skin's radiance for a healthy, radiant appearance) and Sun Repair System .

"Sun Repair technology helps the skin's natural repair process by boosting DNA repair enzymes," underlines the solar spectrum expert. And it is that this technology has been shown to help boost the natural repair of skin cells to counteract sun damage induced by UV rays. Formulated with Lancaster's naturally derived complex enhanced by a postbiotic fraction, Sun Repair System can help reinforce skin's resistance to photoaging.

All of these technologies work together to provide comprehensive sun protection, help correct the visible signs of aging, repair sun-induced damage and improve skin's radiance for a healthy, natural glow all year long.

The new "Sun Perfect" range presents hybrid products that combine Lancaster's extensive experience in sun protection with powerful anti-aging action, as an essential part of a daily facial care routine. And it targets wrinkles, dark spots, dehydration, and lack of firmness.

An increase of more than 100% in skin hydration one hour after application. This is what the 'Sun Perfect Solar Illuminating Cream' achieves, available in SPF 30 and SPF 50, which provides long-lasting hydration while correcting the appearance of dark spots and visibly reducing expression lines. Its light texture instantly melts into the skin for a soft, velvety finish. This highly sensory and comfortable cream instantly illuminates the skin. After 8 weeks of use, luminosity increases by 32.7% and smoothness by 23.5%.

To instantly blur visible imperfections and provide a powdery matte finish that achieves the look and feel of bare skin, 'Sun Perfect SPF 50 Solar Perfecting Fluid' has been born. This light colored fluid is waterproof and has a highly sensory and breathable texture. In addition to its anti-aging effectiveness, it also acts as a perfect base for a smooth application of makeup.

It has been verified how the appearance of expression lines has been reduced by 14% in clinical tests after eight weeks. Its formula, easy to apply and quick-drying, provides an immediate sensation of comfort. 100% of the users affirm that the fluid melts into the skin, 94% say that it enhances natural radiance and 96% agree that it adapts to their skin type. After just four weeks, 83% say the main signs of aging are less visible. Science, technology and Lancaster.
