Protecting your skin from the sun should be a priority step in your skincare routine. Not only do harsh UV rays lead to hyperpigmentation, premature ageing and dryness, but also more fatal risks such as skin cancer.
Many people like to use a different sunscreen for their face, that’s because face SPFs are formulated specifically for your complexion. They tend to be more lightweight, absorbing much quicker and not leaving a greasy residue, like the La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVMune 400 Invisible Fluid SPF50+ Sun Cream.
Some are even supercharged with skin-loving ingredients to tackle your everyday skin concerns, much like Ultrasun’s Anti Pigmentation Face Lotion SPF 50+, which helps brighten any existing hyperpigmentation, all while delivering high sun protection.
"Think of SPF as your skin’s best friend, not just for summer but every single day. UV rays are present year-round and contribute to premature ageing and hyperpigmentation.
Apply a generous amount—about a teaspoon for the face and neck, that's 2 fingers lengths — and reapply every 2 hours if you’re outdoors. Look for lightweight, non-comedogenic formulas if you have oily or spot-prone skin." - Dr Ifeoma Ejikeme
