You are probably sick of hearing everyone go on and on about the importance of SPF in your beauty routine, but it really is a crucial component of any skincare regimen. Wearing an SPF every day, (yes, including the winter) is the key to healthy and glowing skin.  

When it comes to SPF, there is a common misconception that it protects against sunlight, but it is actually invisible UV rays that it shields your skin from.  

Some of the benefits of wearing SPF everyday include the prevention of premature ageing, reduces the risk of skin cancer and prevents hyperpigmentation for an even skin tone, to name but a few.  

Unfortunately, a foundation that contains an SPF is not enough to count as your daily sunscreen, but they are a great way to double up on protection against harmful UV rays.  

We’ve rounded up some of our favourite SPFs to add to your collection to ensure you’re taking care of your skin all year round! 

Naked Sundays SPF50+ Collagen Glow 100% Mineral Priming Perfecting Lotion 

Naked Sundays is an Australian brand that knows exactly what everyone wants in an SPF. This brand has made their products with make-up lovers in mind.

They have plenty of products to suit everyone including a SPF50 glow mist that doubles as a setting spray, but their best-selling product however is their SPF50+ primer that has a slight glow to it that blurs the skin, and the best part is it leaves no white cast! 

La Roche-Posay La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVMUNE 400 Invisible Fluid SPF50 

This SPF is perfect for anyone with sensitive skin with its hypoallergenic formula and it is anti-eye-stinging for those who have sensitive eyes when it comes to sunscreen (the worst).

It’s non sticky and greasy with an invisible finish. The Anthelios Uvmune 400 SPF feels as light as water on the skin and is super affordable for a product with great ingredients.

Supergoop’s Glowscreen is SPF 40 with a range of shades. It gives you a stunning glow perfect to be worn on its own or underneath a foundation.

Glowscreen contains powerful ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamin B3 and niacinamide to keep your skin looking luminous and sunkissed while it protects against UV rays and infrared radiation. The best part of this product is that it doubles as a primer. Often when an SPF is part of our beauty routine it’s easier to remember to wear it.
