The Best Facial Sunscreens for year-round protection

Sun protection has become the most important step in every comprehensive morning skincare regime (no matter the time of year), as well as a staple item on every summer checklist. Not only will the right formula prevent burning and skin damage, but it will also help prevent signs of ageing including fine lines and hyperpigmentation.

May marks National Sun Awareness Week, a campaign led by The British Association of Dermatologists (3rd – 9th May 2021) and it aims to highlight the dangers of exposure to the sun. Check out the following light weight, non-greasy facial sunscreens to help you stay protected all year round.
