How to Choose a Sunscreen for Egypt's Summer

In Egypt's heat, the best sunscreen is the one you'll actually re-apply. That means lightweight, no white cast, and SPF50+ PA++++. Korean 'watery' gel sunscreens are perfect for this.

Look for SPF50+ PA++++

SPF handles UVB (burning); the PA rating handles UVA (ageing and dark spots). You want high on both — SPF50+ and PA++++.

Texture matters more than you think

A heavy, greasy sunscreen won't get re-applied — so it won't protect you. Watery gels absorb fast and sit well under makeup.

Re-apply every few hours

One morning application isn't enough if you're out. Re-apply every 2–3 hours in strong sun for real protection.
