SHOCKINGLY, only 22 per cent of us wear SPF daily.
Yet 86 per cent of skin cancer cases in the UK are preventable, so slap on the SPF daily.
It is the first name on my lips when anyone asks for a suncream recommendation, as the formulas rival products more than double the price point.
While the packaging isn’t the most glam and the formula is no-frills, it does exactly what you need it to do without being greasy or sticky.

Plus, it’s suitable for the whole family and not too pricey.
Mid-range
The water-based gel serum is completely clear as well as being silicone-free, so it doesn’t pill under make-up, which can often be the case with non-greasy SPF formulas.
It also settles into skin super-quickly thanks to a quick-drying formula – this does mean that I have to use a separate moisturiser on any dry areas, but I’m sure once we get to summer the extra step won’t be necessary.
If you have normal to oily skin, it’s definitely worth giving a go!
Luxury
The formula feels like a lightweight day cream.
If I saw it without the branding, I honestly don’t think I’d have guessed it was an SPF.
It sits well under my make-up, doesn’t make me oily nor does it irritate my sensitive eyes.
If you have the money, there’s no comparison.
Pick of the week
DYSON’s Airwrap multistyler and Airstrait have gone viral for a reason, but my loyalty lies with the brand’s Supersonic hairdryer.
So I’m excited that the brand launched a new hairdryer this week – Dyson Supersonic Nural, £399.99 – which has all the things I love about the original, as well as a scalp-care sensor.
