What we love about this product
This sunscreen is a light fluid that is easy to apply and doesn’t leave white marks even in those with darker skin tones.
It is a broad spectrum sunscreen meaning that it protects against both UVA and UVB. Its factor ratings are high for both types of UV light. For UVB, it is rated as SPF 50+ which is the highest rating a product in the UK can be awarded. For its UVA rating, it has a PPD rating of 46 meaning that it adheres to the EU recommendations for UVA cover.
UVB causes sun burn and skin cancer, while UVA causes pigmentation, ageing and skin cancer.
Using a broad spectrum sun screen such as this reduces the risk of a skin cancer and can help prevent the signs of ageing.
When oestrogen levels drop with the menopause, there is a drop in the collagen levels in the skin too. This causes thinning of the skin and signs of ageing such as wrinkles. UV light also damages skin collagen and causing signs of skin ageing. Protecting the skin from UV light will help preserve your skin collagen and reduce the signs of ageing.
As this is a lightweight product, it is quick, non-greasy and non-messy. It is less likely to aggravate acne. Make up can be applied over it.
