Sun exposure can accelerate the ageing process, all while doing damage to your skin cells. By making an SPF 50 sun cream a daily part of your skincare routine, you’ll help keep a clear, supple complexion for longer. The good news is there’s a Garnier SPF product for every skin type – here’s a closer look at the best options.
A sunscreen’s Sun Protection Factor, or SPF, measures the degree of protection it gives against UVB radiation. This is important because UVB radiation contributes to skin cell damage. SPF 50 sunscreen indicates that it would take you 50 times longer to burn than if you were wearing no sunscreen at all.
Apart from protecting your skin from burning, there are additional benefits of sunscreen.
Today’s targeted sun protection comes in a variety of formats, from sticks to creams to lotions. So, what’s the difference between SPF 50 sun cream and SPF 50 spray sunscreen? It’s mainly a matter of texture.
Sun creams are thicker, with a creamier consistency than sprays, which are thinner and more lightweight. They’re also applied differently. While you apply spray sunscreen using a pump directly onto your skin, sun creams need to be applied and rubbed in with your fingertips.
Garnier SPF 50 sun creams keep your skin covered with a high level of broad-spectrum protection. For effective everyday use on face, try Garnier Ambre Solaire Super UV Daily Invisible Face Serum. It offers SPF50+ protection in a super-lightweight serum format that absorbs instantly into your skin. You can wear it as a base under make-up and it’s formulated to protect all skin tones. Enriched with ceramide the serum also works to protect the skin barrier.
Another option is the Garnier Ambre Solaire SPF 50+ Super UV Protection Fluid. Enriched with vitamin E and hyaluronic acid, it does double-duty as a moisturizer while offering a high level of SPF protection. This ultra-lightweight formula prevents hyperpigmentation and keeps pollutants from stressing your skin.

Prefer a spray-on format for your fun in the sun? Try our Garnier Ambre Solaire Sensitive Advanced Sun Cream Spray SPF 50+. Non-greasy, hypoallergenic and gentle enough for sensitive skin types, it’s also enriched with ceramide and helps to protect your skin barrier function.
Kids’ sensitive skin needs efficient protection from harmful sun damage and painful burns. You can turn to Garnier’s Kids Sensitive Advanced Anti-Sand Mist, an SPF50+ mist spray-on sunscreen that guards against short and long-term sun damage. It not only offers sun protection, but also includes a unique formula that is anti-sand and very water resistant – so you can say goodbye to sand-covered, itchy, or sticky skin on the beach. It’s hypoallergenic too, with a fast-absorbing and fragrance-free formula.
There are also plenty of spray sunscreens that you can use on your face. For instance, our Ambre Over-make up mist could be a great choice if you’d prefer a spray option for your face and make SPF re-application easier and faster, even over make-up.
When you’re ready to hit the pool or beach, you’ll need a water-resistant formula. Try Ambre Solaire Sensitive Advanced Serum for face and body, offering immediate SPF 50+ protection. It’s hypoallergenic, tested under dermatological control, and is also water-resistant. And for kids, apply the Ambre Solaire Water Resistant Sun Cream Spray SPF50+. It offers 5-star UVA protection and includes ceramide while being resistant to sand and water.
Cancer Research UK states that it’s important to reapply sunscreen throughout the day, even if you’re using a water-resistant product. Here are a few tips to make the most of your SPF 50 sunscreen or sun cream.
