Sunscreen with base: 8 options to never leave the house without it

If there’s one thing all dermatologists agree on, it’s that sunscreen should be used daily, not just when you go to the beach. The problem is that, in the rush of everyday life, there are times when we are so tired that we hardly feel like splashing water on our face. Let alone go through the entire process of hydrating, protecting and makeup the skin. The good news is that, at least for these last two steps, you can count on a shortcut. It’s sunscreen based! Check out a selection of the best options for this 2-in-1 product below.

1. Adcos Fluid Toning Sunscreen

Available in 6 different shades, the toning sunscreen SPF 40, from Adcos, protects against UVA and UVB rays, while correcting skin imperfections in a natural way. Due to its fluid texture and anti-shine silica particles, it is suitable for all skin types, including oily ones. In addition, the Adcos based sunscreen also helps to prevent premature aging thanks to its formula with antioxidants and anti-glycemic agents.

“The sunscreen is quite liquid, easy to spread and seemed to cover the spots on the skin very well. As soon as it dries, it leaves the skin dull, but not completely opaque.” – Sabrina Olivetti, from Diva Stuff

2. Anthelios Airlicium, by La Roche-Posay

La Roche’s famous Anthelios Airlicium anti-oil sunscreen line has also gained a color version. With the advantage of being easily found in pharmacies, the product promises effective sun protection against UVA and UVB rays, matt effect and high coverage, ensuring uniform and flawless skin. It can be purchased in 3 shades: light skin, dark skin and dark skin plus.

“I use it calmly not only as a sunscreen, but as a base, because the effect is natural and fresh, just the way I like it. It’s great for going to the gym, for going out during the day and it holds up wonderfully on the beach!” – Ju Lopes, from Juro Valendo

3. Episol Color

In addition to protection against UVA and UVB rays, available in SPF 30 and SPF 70 factors, the Episol Color line aims to make the skin uniform and prevent premature aging. Available in 5 shades, the product is based on a formula with a fondant texture that does not clog pores, is water resistant and has a pigment dispersion system that prevents the formation of agglomerates.

“It’s one of the best color protectors I’ve ever tried. I found the texture ideal, not too liquid and not too thick. It really feels like a foundation because it covers so well.” – Passing Blush

4. Vichy Capital Soleil Clarify

Another option easily found in Brazilian pharmacies, Vichy Capital Soleil Clarify is available in a single color. However, the brand claims that it is able to adapt to 80% of Brazilian skin tones. Recommended for people with mixed to oily skin, it has a dry texture and fast absorption. Among its assets are silica, which absorbs oil, and PhE Resorcinol, which helps to lighten and gradually remove blemishes from the skin.

“It is the perfect option for those looking for a multifunctional product, which delivers a series of benefits and even has a “makeup” effect. ” – Daiene Calmon

5. Color Adapt liquid foundation, by Boticário

While the former Daytime Multiprotector Moisturizer, from O Boticário, does not return to stores, the brand bets on its own base with sun protection as an option for the day to day. Although it is only available in 6 shades, the product has Color Adapt technology, which adapts to the skin tone. Its oil-free formula also has vitamin E (antioxidant), UVA protection and pigments that even out the skin naturally.

“I really liked the finish, because it doesn’t look like heavy makeup.” – Marina Smith of 2Beauty

6. Solar Expertise Clean Touch With Color, by L’Oréal

Like the other products on the list, Solar Expertise has high protection against UVA and UVB rays. One of its differentials, however, is the use of Detoxyl in its formula, a substance rich in gallic acid that helps fight wrinkles, blemishes and, in addition, contributes to keeping the skin fresh. Anti-shine and water resistant, the product has a gel-cream texture ideal for all skin types. It is available in a single adaptable color.

“About the dry texture or clean touch, it really is one of the driest color protectors I’ve ever used! After a few hours it glows, there’s no denying it, but just pressing a tissue over it will solve the problem.” – Bia Munstein, from Eu Vou de Rosa

7. Pink Stick Sunscreen, by Pink Cheeks

Aimed at those who practice intense physical activities, outdoors or even in the water, the sunscreen stick by Pink Cheeks bets on durability, being very resistant to sweat and prolonged contact with water. With a dry touch, the product provides a light coverage, being composed of only 8% of pigment, available in 5 shades. In addition to sun protection, it also has black currant extract and vitamin E, antioxidants that help fight free radicals released during sun exposure.

“Even though the brand says the coverage is light, I thought it covered my melasma well.” – Mari Kubica

8. Minesol Oil Control Tinted, by RoC

One of the favorite sunscreens for those with oily skin, Minesol Oil Control also has a tinted version, with pigment to even out the skin. Available in a single color, which adapts to different skin tones, the product has particles that absorb oil, helping to reduce the appearance of pores.

“Even having a high FPS of 60, it doesn’t weigh on the face and doesn’t crumble. A great option for everyday use, for doing sports and perfect for combination skin!” – Carol Modenesi
