SPF Solutions Even The Laziest Girls Will Love

SPF in Primer

Most of us regular makeup wearers love to prime, as it helps give the skin a smooth, flawless base in preparation for your makeup. If you’re trying to work some SPF into your regime, why not replace your primer with something a little more protective? This easy switch-out will give you no excuse for getting burnt while you’re out in the sun!

The Dermalogica SkinPerfect Primer features SPF 30, making it perfect for daily wear under your makeup. It’s a dream on all skin types, and is also part of Dermalogica’s famed Age Smart range, so will help keep your complexion youthful by offering unparalleled free radical protection. If you need a little more protection, simply wear a protective moisturiser underneath this product.

PS, you can grab this one in a duo with the amazing Daily Microfoliant–they’re a Match Made in Heaven! The Daily Microfoliant will help smooth away imperfections, letting your Skinperfect Primer apply with total ease.

SPF in Foundation

Your everyday foundation serves as an easy spot for a little extra sun protection, plus it gives you the excuse to try out a new formula come summer! If you can get away with sheer coverage, switch out fuller foundations for tinted moisturisers or powder formulas that feature SPF. If you prefer something that’ll really even out any blemishes or imperfections, go for your traditional liquid formula, just making sure to set with powder to beat the heat.

For sheerer coverage, we love the Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream. It’s lightweight, doesn’t oxidise and has a whipped consistency that makes it a breeze to blend out. For a powder alternative, try the Mirenesse 4 in 1 Skin Clone Foundation Powder. This is a great option for someone who enjoys buildable coverage, as it can really be layered on whilst remaining light in feel.

Of course, if you can’t give up your full coverage faves, we understand! Give the Napoleon Perdis Foundation Stick a go–this highly pigmented, buildable foundation is a tried and tested winner on a super hot day, plus it offers your skin protection in the form of SPF 15.

Keep in mind, most foundations will be lower SPF, so you may need to begin your routine with a moisturiser that’s a little more protective.

Full Body Sunscreen

Headed to explore the beach or the great outdoors this summer? Don’t neglect your arms, shoulders, legs and back with the sunscreen! If you shudder at greasy formulas that give you childhood beach day vibes, maybe it’s time to pull out the big guns with an SPF solution from one of our top brands.

A fave of ours is the Dermalogica Protection 50 Sport SPF 50 sunscreen, which features a revolutionary formula combined with a feather light feel on the skin. Never greasy or cakey, this should be your new go-to for long days out in the sun, having fun and soaking up those summer rays.

SPF Lip Balm

When getting summer-ready, we can’t forget about the lips! This often-neglected area may get chapped in winter, but summer can mean burnt and sore lips, so don’t forget about ’em!

Keep lips hydrated and healthy with an SPF lip balm. Customer-favourite brand Lanolips makes sun care a priority with all of their products, meaning that the Lanolips Lip Ointment SPF 30 is perfect for your summer escapades. We’re also obsessing over the amazing scents from all-natural brand Hurraw!, and bonus–each product features SPF 15 to keep your lips in tip-top shape. Give the Coffee Bean flavour a try; we promise die-hard coffee addicts won’t be disappointed!

If you’re a guy just try’na get some sun care for your lips, Anthony Men are here to help! The Anthony Mint and White Tea Lip Balm features SPF 25 for ultimate protection, as well as a refreshing minty feel and scent.
