![]() They’re not enough for your first SPF application. There is one caveat about these powder formulas. Dr Soni recommends the Skinbetter Science Tone Smart SPF 50 Compact (it’s important to note that despite it being “tone smart”, it won’t work for all skin tones) and the Colourscience Mineral Sunscreen Brush (again, this isn’t necessarily going to work for all skin tones, unfortunately). Our favourites include Hello Sunday Invisible Sun Stick and Supergoop! Glow Stick SPF 50.įinally, there are also mineral-based powders, which are excellent at providing a layer of protection or to pop over the top of make-up. Just think of them as a regular setting spray but with added benefits! We also really like stick formulas that are excellent for targeted protection. We like the Bondi Sands SPF 50+ Fragrance Free Face Mist and La Roche-Posay Anthelios Sun Protection Face Mist. You can use a spray formula, designed specifically for the face. You can even use something like a blending sponge to work it in lightly-just make sure you’re using enough if you try this. Opt for a gel formula that sits on top of the skin nicely without the need for excessive blending. However, if you do wear make-up, there are formulas to help cause as little disruption. If you don’t wear make-up, you can reapply your chosen base sunscreen with ease. Reapplication is important because “UVB only lasts for 1-3 hours, so we need to reapply,” says Dr Nestor. Luckily, there are a few different ways to do this even some that won’t disrupt your make-up. Reapplication is crucial when it comes to keeping safe in the sun all day. Keeping in the shade, avoiding peak hours of strong sunlight and using UV-protective clothing helps, too. You also shouldn’t rely on just sunscreen for sun safety. The NHS recommends about 30 minutes before you head outdoors. It’s important to apply your sunscreen before you step outside to make sure you’re covered. Some firm favourites from the experts include, La Roche-Posay’s Anthelios UVMUNE 400 Hydrating Cream SPF 50, Heliocare (there are a bunch of different formulas to suit specific skin type needs) and Altruist.
