This is a common dilemma as, remarkably, many moisturisers - even the best sellers - don't contain an SPF. Given that Ireland's most common cancer is skin cancer, it seems remarkable that cosmetic companies aren't offering more products with an SPF.
Back to the question, there are two main solutions available:
- Apply a sunscreen to your face under your moisturiser (ensure that it has a minimum SPF15 and is especially formulated for the face).
- Use a foundation with an in-built SPF.
- Mix a 'sunscreen supplement' in with your moisturiser (see review below).
Caroline Recommends:
My favourite facial SPF product comes from Dermalogica; it is called a Solar Defence Booster and it is a 'sunscreen supplement', with an SPF30.The product has been designed as a 'mixer' for moisturisers that don't already contain an SPF. It is a cinch to use; simply mix equal parts of Solar Defence Booster and your favourite moisturiser together, and apply to your face as normal.
It takes little time for the product to soak in and once it does, it leaves a non-greasy, smooth finish, and most importantly, your face is protected against the sun's harmful rays. The product can also be used on it's own as a sunblock and is suitable for all skin types.
Dermalogica Solar Defence Booster retails at €24.80 on http://www.kudosbeauty.ie/.Don't forget also that your lips also need protection from the sun. I highly recommend Blistex Daily Lip Conditioner (€3.57) or Vaseline Lip Therapy Sun Protection Petroleum Jelly (€1.09), which are both extremely effective lip balms.
Hope this information helps. Remember, if you have a style query, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me via my website, http://www.stylebycaroline.ie/.
