Sunscreen for Every Skin Type
Words Alexandra Venison
Do you suffer from dry, combination or even an oily complexion? There’s a sunscreen for everyone, no matter your skin concern.
The Natural Formula
Grown Alchemist, Natural Hydrating Sunscreen SPF 30
Formulated from vegan and natural ingredients, this physical sunscreen features zinc oxide, which forms a protective barrier on top of the skin instead of being absorbed into it. Unlike other physical sunscreens, this formula is ultra-hydrating instead of mattifying, making it perfect for those with dry skin.
Discoloration
SkinCeuticals Daily Brightening UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 30
If you suffer from UV-induced pigmentation, this is the formula for you. Not only protecting skin, it also helps to reduce visible discolouration and instantly brightens your complexion.
Darker Skin
La Roche-Posay, Anthelios Melt-In Milk Sunscreen SPF 100
Finding formulas that don’t leave a chalky cast on the skin, especially for those with darker tones, can be challenging. La Roche-Posay has created a weightless formula that absorbs seamlessly and features super-high protection.
Mature Skin
Paula’s Choice, Resist Youth-Extending Daily Hydrating Fluid SPF 50
This liquid broad-spectrum sunscreen ensures skin is looking the best it can. Combating and protecting against visible signs of ageing, say goodbye to fine lines, wrinkles, loss of firmness and elasticity.
Sensitive Skin
Drunk Elephant, Umbra Sheer Physical Daily Defense Sunscreen SPF 30
If you suffer from sensitive skin, finding sunscreens that are oil and fragrance free alongside being hydrating are key. Ticking all the above and being a physical sunscreen, which is best for sensitive skin types, Drunk Elephant’s formula is loaded with antioxidants to boot.
The Cover Up
Sisley Paris, Super Soin Solaire Tinted Sun Care SPF 30
Cutting edge UVA and UVB filters are combined with protective active ingredients in Sisley’s youth protecting sunscreen. The formula has a creamy texture and offers coverage arriving in five different shades.
Acne-Prone Skin
Neutrogena, Clear Face Breakout Free Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50
Trying new sunscreens can sometimes lead to nasty breakouts. Neutrogena ensures those that suffer from acne can skip this experience with its oil-free formula that promises it won’t block your pores.
For Touch-Ups
Supergoop (Re)setting 100% Mineral Powder SPF 30
Did you know you should be reapplying SPF every two hours? Supergoop! makes this simple with its sunscreen powder. Apply over makeup and smooth out your skin’s appearance, especially if you suffer from an oily t-zone.
Oily Skin
Tatcha, Silken Pore Perfecting Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 35
This weightless formula from Tatcha offers two benefits. Firstly, it’s a sunscreen, and secondly, it works as the perfect primer for your makeup. Minimizing the appearance of pores, its matte finish ensures mid-day shine is a thing of the past.
The All Rounder
Sunday Riley, Light Hearted Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 30
Blending seamlessly into every shade of skin, Sunday Riley’s debut sunscreen has earned top-tier reviews. Lightweight and with a velvety finish, the formula also contains blue-light defence making it especially useful for those who spend a lot of time behind a phone or laptop.
