Tested for you: “Sun Protection Powder” SPF 50 by Jean D’Arcel
Sun protection powder is an extremely practical invention of the beauty industry, in my opinion. Sun protection is not an option, but a must if you want to keep your skin beautiful. After all, the sun’s UV rays are scientifically proven to be the main cause of visible signs of skin ageing and the development of hyperpigmentation and an uneven complexion.
This doesn’t just apply when it’s warm outside and the sun is blazing down from the sky. Even on a gray and rainy day, the skin is exposed to damaging UV rays, which gradually make the symptoms of photoaging visible. To fully protect the skin, you should therefore use adequate sun protection every day.
Sun protection powder offers several advantages
By now, (almost) everyone has understood that we should apply our sun cream in the morning as part of our skincare routine. But what we often forget is the fact that the protective effect wears off over the course of the day – and needs to be refreshed. But especially if you wear make-up, this can be difficult with a product in cream form and look smudged.
“The Sun Protection Powder” from Jean D’Arcel is ideal for refreshing your sun protection. It is also perfect for on the go with its integrated mirror in the lid of the clean, white box and a sponge in the bottom compartment. In addition to UV protection, it has two other beauty plus points: It mattifies and perfects the skin’s appearance.
Perfect finish with two shades
The sun protection powder comes in two shades: No.1, a lighter shade, and No.2, a darker version. As I never wear make-up, I use both. The soft texture with SPF 50 sun protection factor is easy to apply with the sponge and spreads evenly.
I use the lighter powder to mattify for a flawless finish. I use the darker shade for contouring, which replaces blush or bronzing powder. And my skin is also well protected, as the high-tech formulation with UVA and UVB filters is effective against premature ageing and cell damage caused by light. The product is also paraben- and fragrance-free.

Dermal Add-On Fluid SPF 50+
For a longer stay in the sun, additional care with a sun protection factor is recommended, also good to use as a make-up base. The very high, non-greasy add-on sun protection from the Arcelmed medical line protects the skin with SPF 50+ against all negative external influences such as UVB rays, car exhaust fumes, cigarette smoke or industrial environmental toxins.
At the same time, it supplies the skin with nourishing substances: Watermelon extract protects important cell structures such as DNA from damage and reduces skin redness caused by UV radiation. Plankton extract boosts cell metabolism and increases the skin’s ability to repair itself. The skin structure becomes firmer and tighter and fine wrinkles are significantly reduced. D-panthenol promotes the energy metabolism of the skin cells as well as the cell division rate. By penetrating into the deeper layers of the skin, more water is bound there, thus increasing the skin’s moisture.
The fluid is best applied in the morning after cleansing, but before your usual skincare routine. However, it can also be used specifically approx. 30 minutes before sun exposure. Repeat several times if necessary to maintain complete UV protection.

To travel during my profession as a beauty journalist was never enough for my. Also my six month on a world trip didn’t do it. It always attracts me to other cities, foreign countries, on roadtrips and places I don’t know yet. But I am not only interested in “culture” and “cream”, I am also fascinated by people who have stories to tell . Such unique experiences I want to share with you.
