If there’s one thing we have learned, it’s that if you’re going to skip any part of your skincare routine DO NOT let it be sunscreen. Fair enough, some days we roll out of bed and the prospect of doing a full face of makeup is too exhausting. Enter – a tinted moisturiser with SPF.
More and more people are swapping a heavy foundation for a natural tinted moisturiser with SPF. Not only are they quick and easy to apply, they protect our faces from the sun and give us a healthy glow in the process.
When it comes to getting the most out of your SPF moisturiser, it’s important you’re using enough product to protect your skin.
“Generally 1/2 teaspoon for the face, neck and ears is recommended,” says Global Education Technical Training Manager Tracey Beeby from Ultraceuticals.
“Then spread the product evenly to ensure a consistent coverage. To do this, dispense the product on to the back of your opposite hand to which you are applying with. Using your fingertips, massage the product into your cheeks, forehead, nose and chin using circular movements. This helps with applying it evenly across each facial zone. Don’t forget areas like the temples, between your brows and jawline. Blend thoroughly using your fingertips on both hands to complete the application.”
Sun-screen and makeup rolled into one multi-tasking product that can save us time (and money)? Yes, please!
