PROTECT YOUR SKIN FROM AGEING RAYS WITH THESE FACE SPFs

NUXE SUN LIGHT FLUID PROTECTIONSPF50 £18.50, FeelUnique.com

JUST divine, but it’s not just a pretty scent. The light fluid felt like a silky dream on skin, and we didn’t need a separate moisturiser. It also has a cellular protection complex to help stop dark spots cropping up.

GARNIER SENSITIVE ADVANCED FACE UV FACE FLUID SPF50 £12, Boots

DESIGNED for delicate skin, this delivers its protection via an ‘intelligent’ microcrystal fluid that blends invisibly into skin and remains evenly distributed across the face. It’s beautifully light, didn’t clog skin and felt very hydrating.

INSTITUT ESTHEDERM PHOTOREVERSE TINTED £55, LookFantastic.com

THIS suncream claims to both block sun-induced pigmentation with UVA/B and blue light filters, and actually lighten uneven tone over time. Wear it daily for best results. Fighting pigmentation is a long battle but this new tinted version was good for instantly smoothing out melasma.

TROPIC SKIN SHADE TINTED FACIAL SUN CREAM £24, TropicSkincare. com

LOTS of foundations come with an SPF, but they should be seen as an add-on rather than your main sun protection. This product, however, is a shield first, giving a mineral based SPF50, plus a flattering, dewy tint.

DIEGO DALLA PALMA UV DAILY PRIMER £23.50, LookFantastic.com

ADD a multi-tasking helper to your daily regime with this product that’s make-up primer and SPF50 in one. This went on with a beautiful luminous veil that enhanced foundation and helped stop it sliding. The protection covers UVA, UVB and infra-red light plus an anti-pollution technology to stop dirt particles locking on and aggravating your skin.
