Lock out harmful rays and keep your skin healthy with our pick of the best sun protection.
WHAT TYPE OF SPF IS BEST?
There are two types of sun protection: the physical kind, which blocks and reflects UV rays, and a chemical variation that absorbs them before they can harm your skin. While each kind has its merits, it’s best to opt for a cream that uses a blend of both—which most now do—to ensure it offers strong, broad-spectrum protection. If you have very sensitive skin, choose physical sunscreens, as chemical formulations can irritate. Try Lancôme UV Expert YouthShield Aqua Gel SPF50 PA++++ (RM195) and Three Balancing UV Protector R SPF40/PA+++ (RM166) for micronised formulas that are absorbed quickly without leaving a visible trace.
