Which Sunscreen Is Best For Your Face?

If you aren’t obsessed with SPF then you should be because it’s your new anti-aging secret and one of the most important steps of your morning skincare routine. It’s known for preventing premature aging, stopping sun spots in their tracks and actively decreasing your risk of skin cancer when worn daily.

If you’ve been wondering what the best sunscreen for your face is, we’ve developed a guide to help you choose the best SPF formula for your skin type. 

You might think SPF for your face can be skipped over, I mean it feels greasy and blocks your pores right? Wrong! You’ve probably been using the wrong formula if sunscreen leaves your skin feeling that way. 

You might not realise it but 80% of UV light can travel through clouds no matter what the weather is so even if you don’t have a family history of skin cancer or live somewhere that sees sunshine 365 days a year, wearing sunscreen on your face daily is crucial. Regardless of your skin type or the season, clean sunscreen can actively protect your skin from harmful UV rays, safeguard your skin against visible signs of ageing, reduce uneven skin tones and contribute to the overall health of your skin. 

Most people don’t actually know what sunscreen is right for their skin type so they end up choosing a formula that doesn’t look or feel right for their skin. That’s why we’ve developed a range of weightless SPF 50+ face, neck and décolletage sunscreens that suit all skin types whether you’re layering under makeup or wearing for daily anti-ageing protection.

Choosing a face sunscreen that you apply after your serums and moisturiser is a better option than relying solely on your makeup with only a small SPF element. Makeup isn’t always applied evenly, often rubs off easily and isn’t normally applied to places that need it most like your ears and décolletage. 

Sunscreen for Sensitive Skin

Sunscreen For Dry Skin

If you have dry skin and don’t know where to start with facial SPF then it’s important that you check your products for nourishing and hydrating ingredients.
