Not all sunscreens are created equal. Apart from protecting your skin against harmful UVA and UVB rays, some offer a range of additional skin-healing functions – from anti-ageing benefits to protection against free radicals.
All-natural sunscreens use minerals and organic compounds to block UV rays. If using regular sunscreens, check the ingredient list for oxybenzone as it can induce allergies and affect hormones in humans. And, if you’re beach-bound, look out for ingredients like octocrylene and octinoxate that can pose a threat to corals.
This sheer, broad-spectrum Drunk Elephant sunscreen uses naturally-derived zinc oxide for UVA and UVB protection, and a blend of grape juice and sunflower extracts to fight off radical damage and photo ageing. Raspberry seed and marula oils offer moisture while minimising fine lines and wrinkles too, resulting in a hydrated and more youthful complexion. Plus, what’s great about this formula is the lack of fragrance and essential oils that may cause irritations, especially on sensitive skin.
This innovative, light-textured serum from Dr Barbara Sturm requires only a fews drops in your chosen face cream to start working its magic. With an active complex of cassia extract, vitamin E and beta-glucan, Sun Drops promotes regeneration of damaged cell structures, while offering high levels of UV protection.
