We think about the damage that ultraviolet rays are causing our skin on a hot sunny day. On those days we reach for the high SPF sun cream and lather it on to protect our skin. We think that is job done as long as we are protecting our skin during the peak sun exposure that we will be safe. The truth is that Ultraviolet rays can be damaging on even the cloudiest of days.
Finding an every day moisturiser that has SPF in it will benefit your skin and protect it from the ultraviolet rays that are affecting our skin day to day, even in the gloomy Great British weather and in the winter months, slathering on some level of sun protection will stop your skin from getting damaged.
Building a base for your make-up is the first step to a great skin day, but also in the long term for preventing the signs of ageing from showing up too early due to sun damage. The best SPF moisturisers are the ones that feature a factor of 30 or 50, to make sure the sun’s rays aren’t wreaking havoc with your skin cells.
As well as moisturisers, some of the best primer choices on the market also contain SPFs of 30 or 50 and are a must-have before you apply your very best foundation.
A good primer with a high SPF is Murad Invisiblur Perfection Shield SPF30 it is lightweight and non-greasy with broad spectrum sun protection, but also provides a silky smooth base to apply your make-up over. Another great option is the Dermalogica Age Smart Skin Perfect Primer SPF30, which also brightens while it primes your skin for makeup application.
