Facial SPFs for every skin concern

Facial SPFs for every skin concern 2

Facial SPF is important all year round, regardless of the season. Not only does it protect your skin against the premature formation of the signs of ageing, sun burn and skin cancer, but it also helps prevent pigmentation.

The SPF market is so large that there really is the perfect formulation for everyone. Whether you’re concerned about breakouts, fine lines and wrinkles, or dark marks, there is an SPF with a formulation designed specifically with your concern in mind. We’ve rounded up a few of the very best SPFs for different skin concerns.

Tinted
A tinted SPF is perfect for days when you don’t want to wear full-on foundation, but you’d still like subtle coverage.

Pigmentation
In theory, all sunscreens will help prevent dark marks and pigmentation. However, if you have existing pigmentation, it’s best to go for a formula designed for it, as these usually contain other ingredients that help fight the formation of dark marks.

Oiliness / breakouts
If your skin is prone to breakouts and blemishes, you’ll know that some sunscreens can exacerbate the problem. We recommend a gel or lightweight formula that’s low on oil (or oil-free) and that won’t clog pores or prevent the skin from breathing.
