Now we know how this might sound, so before you think we’re absolutely crazy, give us a second to explain ourselves. Contrary to popular belief, in the winter the sun can still do some serious damage to your skin even though you might not think so.
Regardless of the temperature, the sun’s UV rays are still super powerful and their glare can cause sun damage even when it’s freezing out. So just because you’re not sunbathing and styling your summer clothes, it doesn’t mean that you are off the hook when it comes to lathering up on SPF.
You should be wearing your SPF all year round, so below we have included some products that are great for facial SPF’s to help protect your face from the sun.
La Roche-Posay
When it comes to skincare, La Roche-Posay knows what they’re doing. The Athelios UVMune 400 Invisible Fluid SPF50+ sunscreen is a highly acclaimed SPF that is perfect to wear under your make up or within your skincare during these winter months. This product will help protect your skin from UVA, UVB and ultra- long UVA rays.
Whether you’re working out or going for a swim, this product won’t fail as it’s water, sweat and sand resistant. Its lightweight nature means that it won’t clog up your skin and will accompany the base of your make up nicely.
Your skin will feel smooth and nourished with this SPF and that horrid white cast some sun creams have will not be an issue when wearing this SPF. It’s perfect for those of you with sensitive skin, so altogether this is one hell of a product.
Bondi Sands
The Bondi Sands SPF 50+ lotion is a great sun cream that comes with a spray applicator that allows it to be applied effortlessly and with even coverage. This SPF is non greasy and is comfortable to wear, so don’t worry about getting irritated throughout the day when wearing this product under your make up or skincare.
