Super SPFs

Hello heatwave! And with the welcome return of the sun should come a daily application of protective SPF to keep skin safe from its damaging effects.

- 

The latest stats show that searches for "best sunscreen" are up 125% right now. Yet despite this, three out of four women here in the UK still don't wear it every day.

But wearing an SPF is genuinely the most anti-ageing thing you can do, as the UVA/UVB rays from the sun can cause all kinds of skin issues, like lines, wrinkles, pigmen-tation - and of course skin cancer.

WEAR SPF EVERY DAY

Repeat after me: I should be wearing SPF everyday. I should be wearing SPF everyday. I should be wearing SPF everyday.

Got it? Good.

So choose a formula that suits your skin - and a formula you enjoy applying. Opt for at least SPF30, better still SPF50. Pop it on as the last step in your skincare routine, seeing it as a sort of lid to top off your skincare products.

Know that it can be worn under make-up and can even make a good primer.
