9 Of The Best Facial SPF Formulas To Keep You Protected This Summer
Slip, slop, slap!
As summer rolls around yet again, it’s time to take stock of your SPF wardrobe. Particularly in Australia, where UV is at an all-time high, being vigilant with sunscreen application is not only important for preserving youthful skin but also for preventing skin cancers and illness. Take it from us: SPF is the single most important ingredient in an effective skincare routine.
And because no one is going to be consistent with application if they hate the formula they’ve chosen, finding the right one for you is vital. So, whether you’re an oily-skin lady who is looking for a lightweight sunscreen to mattify and protect or a dry-skin girl who just wants all the hydration all of the time, we have rounded up our top nine SPF formulas to keep your skin happy, protected and hydrated.
