We are all aware that daily – and regular – applications of SPF 50+ is a must to prevent skin damage and dark spots and minimise the threat of premature ageing.
Though sun protection is vital, using a thick, all-over sunscreen usually isn’t the best idea for your face. If you have sensitive skin, you’ll need a sunscreen tailored specifically for the face, with a wearable consistency that lets your pores breathe.
The best kind of facial sunscreens do their work on the down-low, and won’t get in the way of your everyday makeup—with some facial sunscreens even designed to work as a primer for foundation and concealer.
As many of us know by now, tanning isn’t healthy, and neither is exposing your face to sunlight, even in the smallest of doses. It’s time we stopped normalising a suntan, 2 in 3 Australians will develop skin cancer in their lifetime. Skin cancer, let’s end the trend. Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek and Slide.
