Sun, sea, beach, winter sports or simply a long working day outside: your skin is exposed to more UV radiation than you might think. Exactly at those moments you want to be able to rely on one thing: your sunscreen.
Pressensa DefencExtra SPF 80+ Very High Protection Sunscreen – Face & Body is created for days when the sun is truly intense. A very high SPF 80+ for both face and body, with a formula that not only protects against UVA and UVB rays, but also keeps the skin comfortably hydrated.
In this blog you’ll discover:
why a high SPF such as 80+ makes sense
what makes Pressensa DefencExtra SPF 80+ special
who this sunscreen is ideal for
how to use it step by step – in summer and winter
Why choose an SPF 80+ sunscreen?
The higher the SPF, the better your skin is helped against sunburn caused by UVB rays. On top of that, UVA rays also play a role: they contribute to premature skin ageing, such as fine lines and pigmentation spots.
Pressensa DefencExtra SPF 80+ is developed as a “very high protection” sunscreen for situations where your skin is exposed to the sun for longer and more intensely, such as:
beach days and summer holidays by the sea
winter sports, skiing and snowboarding in the mountains
long walks, hikes or outdoor workouts
working or travelling outside in sunny conditions
The broad protection against both UVA and UVB helps limit sun-induced damage and visible signs of ageing caused by the sun, while you can still enjoy being outdoors.
What makes Pressensa DefencExtra SPF 80+ special?
This sunscreen is more than just a high SPF on the label. The formula is designed to provide effective protection while also feeling comfortable on the skin.
Key benefits at a glance:
SPF 80+ – very high protection against UVA and UVB
Suitable for face and body – one product for the whole day
For all skin types – including skin that needs extra protection in strong sun
Rich yet lightweight texture – absorbs quickly without a heavy white cast
Hydrating & caring – skin feels soft and supple
Made in Spain – with a focus on quality and performance
Powerful UV filters
The protective base is a combination of modern UV filters (including Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane and Octocrylene) that together help block a broad spectrum of UVA and UVB rays.
Comforting & hydrating ingredients
Besides protection, the cream contains ingredients that help the skin feel pleasant during and after sun exposure:
Aloe Vera Juice – helps to refresh and comfort the skin when exposed to the sun
Chamomile Flower Water – known for its soothing, comforting properties, ideal for sun-exposed skin
Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate) – supports the skin’s moisture balance, keeping it smooth and supple
Glycerin & Butylene Glycol – humectants that help attract and retain moisture
With one product you get both very high sun protection and a comfortable, cared-for skin feel.
Who is Pressensa DefencExtra SPF 80+ for?
This sunscreen is suitable for all skin types, and is especially interesting if you:
spend a lot of time outdoors (sports, work, travel)
are going on holiday to a sunny destination, the beach or the tropics
go to the mountains in winter (skiing, snowboarding, hiking)
want a sunscreen that you can use on both face and body
prefer high protection that also feels caring and hydrating on the skin
Because the texture absorbs quickly and doesn’t feel heavy, it’s comfortable for daily use – also under make-up on the face or combined with your usual body care.
How to use SPF 80+ for best results
With sun protection everything comes down to using enough product and reapplying regularly. That’s how you get the most out of Pressensa DefencExtra SPF 80+.
1. Last step in your routine
Use it as the final step in your skincare routine – after cleansing, serum and day cream.
For the body, apply after your body lotion or directly onto clean skin.
2. Apply a sufficient amount
As a guideline, for face and neck you can use about two finger lengths of product. For the body, apply extra to all exposed areas (shoulders, arms, legs, back, stomach).
Apply a generous layer to: face, neck, ears, nape, décolleté and any other uncovered areas.
Massage evenly until fully absorbed.
3. Reapply regularly
To keep the level of protection up:
reapply regularly, especially:
after swimming
after heavy sweating
after towel-drying
when you’re exposed to the sun for longer periods, reapply multiple times per day.
You can use Pressensa DefencExtra SPF 80+ daily in summer and winter whenever your skin is exposed to the sun.
Summer and winter: sea, beach and mountains
Many people only think of sunscreen in summer, but in the mountains or during winter sports the sun can be extra intense. Snow and altitude increase reflection and therefore UV exposure to the skin.
With a SPF 80+ sunscreen like Pressensa DefencExtra you are prepared for:
beach days and warm holidays – protection while sunbathing, swimming and walking along the shore
winter sports & mountain hikes – protection against the combination of cold, wind and strong sun
outdoor sports – cycling, running, tennis or other training sessions outside
Apply the cream generously to all exposed areas: face, ears, neck, hands and – in summer – your arms, shoulders and legs.
Professional tip: perfect as a “salon recommendation” for home use
For salons and professionals, Pressensa DefencExtra SPF 80+ is ideal as:
the final step after a facial treatment when the client will go outside
a recommended retail product for clients going on beach or ski holidays
part of a complete “sun ritual” concept:
pre-sun hydration
high protection with SPF 80+
soothing after-sun care
At home you can follow the same approach: combine a hydrating cream with Pressensa DefencExtra as the last layer before going outdoors.
