Heliocare 360° Color: which foundation product is right for you?

Finding the best daily sunscreen that fits perfectly into your morning routine and suits your skin type can be tricky - particularly if you’re looking for foundation coverage and sunscreen in one product, but don’t want to compromise on the level of protection your skin is getting.

Fortunately, the Heliocare 360° range has you covered, with a choice of foundation products depending on your skin type and desired finish. 

What is Heliocare 360°?

Heliocare 360° is an evidence-based sun protection range that’s recommended by dermatologists and skin professionals worldwide. Every product in the range provides high-level, full-spectrum protection (UVA, UVB, Visible Light & Infrared-A) giving your skin the very best daily defence it needs against the daily damage that can be caused by the sun.

It protects skin at its surface with advanced filters and from within with its unique antioxidant, Fernblock®. Backed by years of research and development, every Heliocare 360° is clinically proven to:

  • Protects skin against damage caused by daylight: UVA, UVB, Visible Light, Infrared-A1,2,3
  • Prevents collagen breakdown2
  • Protects and repair skin cell DNA4

There are Heliocare 360° products to suit every skin type, products that help reduce signs and symptoms of common skin concerns, and products that provide foundation coverage too, so there’s a product for everyone, for every day. Let’s look at the two products in the Heliocare 360° Color range and the differences between them.

Introducing the 360° Color ranges

There are two products in the Heliocare 360° Color range, the Color Oil-Free Gel and the NEW Color Water Gels. Each of them provide the same advanced level of daily protection for your skin, but what makes them different?

Heliocare 360° Color Oil Free Gels

Oil regulating and mattifying, the Color Oil-Free Gels have been designed for those with normal, combination, oily or spot prone skin. Available in two shades, beige and bronze, they provide natural-looking medium coverage.

When and how should I use them?

The Heliocare 360° Color products should be applied in the morning before sun exposure on those days when you want foundation coverage (even if its cloudy or rainy outside!). It should always be applied after any skincare.

To ensure you’re getting the full level of protection, apply approximately two full finger lengths of product to the face ensuring. Make sure you get full coverage up to the hairline and around the eyes - applying with a makeup brush or sponge blender will enable an even and flawless application, and help to blend the product down the neck.
