This summer, one thing is non-negotiable, especially as we’ll spend more time outdoors. We give you the plug on the best formulas to help you look forward to slathering on all that SPF goodness.
DID YOU KNOW?
It’s as important to apply sunscreen when you’re inside as it is when you’re outdoors.
EVERY SEASON
You should wear sunscreen throughout the year and reapply it at least every two hours, especially if you’re spending time outdoors or swimming.
FACTS
‘Even though UV radiation is the leading cause of skin damage, blue light, which is part of natural sunlight, and emitted from electronic devices’ screens, is also harmful and can lead to premature ageing and hyperpigmentation.’ – Heliocare
DID YOU KNOW?
UVA (ageing) rays can cause premature skin ageing, such as wrinkles and age spots, whilst UVB (burning) rays are responsible for tanning and sunburn.
TIP!
Make sure you apply sunscreen liberally, directly onto your skin, especially areas such as your nose, ears, neck, hands, feet, and even lips. This should be step zero before makeup.
