Natural Sunscreen FAQs
Find the right sunscreen for you
Which face sunscreens do I recommend?
When purchasing a face sunscreen, finding the right formulation is key. I recommend looking for a product that is non-greasy and hydrating. With so many fantastic anti-ageing or tinted options available, why not reach for a BB or CC cream to blur imperfections while protecting your skin from the sun's rays?
With all sunscreens avoid contact with eyes and if irritation persists discontinue use. Sunscreen is only one part of sun protection. Wear protective clothing, hats and sunglasses when exposed to the sun, and stay in the shade where possible. Prolonged high-risk sun exposure should be avoided. Frequent reapplication and use in accordance with the directions is required for effective sun protection. Always read the label and use only as directed.
