MELÉ

Face Sunscreen

Best Face Sunscreens

Melanin-rich skin has up to SPF 13 built in, making you less sensitive to photo-damage. But don’t get it twisted. It doesn’t mean skin damage cannot occur. SPF is not cumulative, so you need a minimum of SPF 30 for full protection. Without it, the effects of damaging UV exposure can accumulate over time and leave sun and age spots. So, pull out a broad-spectrum SPF daily - to keep that glow fresh and strong.​​.
