Our last post covered the best moisturisers for different skin types, (have a read if you're wanting a more in-depth explanation of different skin types) and today we will be looking at another extremely important aspect of your skincare routine, products with an SPF!
Using a product that contains an SPF is an absolute essential all year round, but especially in summer. By safeguarding your skin against damaging UV rays, your complexion will stay healthier, more plumped up and radiant for longer. Incorporating an SPF into your everyday skincare routine will also help to prevent premature ageing and hyper-pigmentation.
Choosing a product that best suits your skin and its needs will ensure you get the most out of it and the best level of protection possible.
The Best SPF Products for Different Skin Types
For Dry Skin
asap moisturising daily defence SPF 50+
Designed for the harsh Australian Climate, the asap moisturising daily defense delivers essential moisturising actives, whilst ensuring skin is protected from harmful UVA and UVB rays.
For those with especially oily skin, applying a sunscreen alongside your regular moisturiser can cause the skin to become oily or even to breakout.
The light-weight formula of Dermalogica's Solar Defense Booster means it's perfect for oily skin. It can be used alone or mixed into your regular moisturiser or foundation without impacting the quality or feel.
For Dull Skin
Zelens Daily Defence Sunscreen
The SPF 30 in the Zelens Daily Defence Sunscreen is delivered through a unique system, which has organic UV filters in silica-based capsules, to help give that weightless feeling on the complexion, whilst still offering intense protection.
For Mature Skin
Clinique Smart Custom Moisturiser SPF 15
Formulated using Clinique's Smart™ technology, the Smart SPF 15 Custom moisturiser is a fast-absorbing cream that minimises the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, whilst it strengthens the skin's natural moisture barrier to reveal a refreshed and rejuvenated complexion.
For Combination Skin
Alpha-H Essential Moisturiser SPF 30
The Alpha-H Essential Moisturiser is ideal for all skin types thanks to its gentle yet protective formulation.
Its formula is both non-comedogenic and non-whitening, meaning it won’t block your pores or leave a white cast behind on your skin. Thanks to its SPF 30 factor, it helps shield skin against both UVA and UVB rays, protecting the cells against free radical damage and premature ageing.
