SPF YOUR SKIN WILL THANK YOU FOR
HOT PRODUCTS:
It’s time to discover the best SPFs for your skin type. From moisturisers to mists, these are the very best suncreams in the world of beauty.
We don’t know who still needs to hear this, but when it comes to skincare, SPF is non-negotiable. Thick, heavy creams have been replaced with lightweight, invisible formulas that sit perfectly under makeup (so there’s no excuse not to wear one). Top tip? To make sure you’re applying the right amount of SPF, apply the ‘two fingers’ rule: two finger lengths of product is the perfect amount to cover your face, neck and decolletage for optimal protection. From Chantecaille’s luxurious Seascreen to EVE LOM’S everyday must-have and Coola’s SPF mist, these are the suncreams to add to your skincare routine.
