We all know we should be using an SPF
daily, especially during the summer months but I believe it’s still an area
that a lot of us are still poor at incorporating into our daily skincare
routine.
When
hitting the beach we tend to slap it all over and douse our children in it at
the first glimpse of summer but often forget about ourselves on a day-to-day
basis.
Gone
are the days of heavy thick creams that feel like you’re applying a layer of
Dulux emulsion. The majority of skincare brands will now offer an SPF that
works well with makeup without affecting the performance or look of your
foundation. Yes you still need to wear a sunscreen even if your moisturiser or
foundation contains SPF, and another thing to remember is always test how your
makeup looks on camera with a flash if you are wearing an SPF for photographic
events such as your wedding day, they will often flash back.
A daily SPF, which I have incorporated into
my skincare routine, is the Perfectionist Pro Multi defense UV Fluid in SPF 45.
This comes in a 30ml squeezy style tube but is very milky and thin so a little
goes a long way. This isn’t a product for sunbathing in but a product to wear
under your regular makeup, or indeed on bare skin whilst going about your daily
business.
What I love about it is that it sinks into
the skin immediately and has a dry finish. There’s no tackiness, no residue, no
white hue and no piling under makeup. I didn’t find it flashed backed either
but definitely check this for yourself if you’re purchasing for a special day.
It’s a Physical or mineral based sunscreen,
which means it sits on top of the skin and reflects the rays. It’s less
irritating and has added ingredients such as Tiger lily, Green Tea as pollution
defense.
It’s beautifully lightweight and
undetectable on the skin. Shake bottle well and apply after your final
moisturistion step and before your foundation. You won’t even need to give it
time to melt into the skin as it absorbs immediately.
It’s not cheap at £36.00 however it will
give your skin great protection and fits nicely into your routine without affecting
the performance of your makeup.
