As every beauty buff knows, sunscreen is important all year round, even when it’s cloudy outside. UVA rays can cause skin damage (and wrinkles) even in winter, but it’s from April to October that UVB rays (the kind that cause sunburn) are most prevalent.
So, a broad-spectrum moisturiser with a high SPF (sun protection factor) is essential for spring. That doesn’t mean you have to slather on the same thick sunblock you use on the beach, however. These days, you can get powerful protection in day creams that are light in texture and melt into your skin – and there’s one to suit every budget,
Here are five beauty editor-approved SPF moisturisers to add to your spring skincare routine…
