Do you use a facial sunscreen? If the answer is no, now is as good a time as any to start wearing one on the reg. And if the answer is yes, but you’re begrudgingly slathering it on, then you should also read this for tips on a facial sunscreen like you’ve never seen before! Read on for advice on why you should be wearing a facial sunscreen every day, how to choose a good one, and our top tips on which to use depending on your skin type.
First things first, what actually is a facial sunscreen? As the name suggests, it’s a sunscreen developed specifically for the delicate skin on your face and neck.
Maybe you’re thinking it’s just a marketing gimmick, but face sunscreen is actually different to body sunscreen. The average body sunscreens you find aren’t designed with the typically more reactive and delicate facial or neck skin. This means they’re a lot more likely to make you breakout as they tend to have a thicker formula. Some other reasons to opt for a specific facial sunscreen are because they’re packed with skin sweetening goodness and developed for different skin types and concerns.
Absolutely! UV rays are the single main cause of premature ageing (not to mention dangerous consequences like cancer). Wearing a facial sunscreen everyday therefore helps to protect you from the harmful effects of UV rays but also helps to keep your complexion even, and avoid redness and inflammation.
Need some help working out the right facial sunscreen for you? Discover the curated range of facial sunscreens from Ultra Violette. They’re designed to fit into your current skincare regime and work really well under makeup. They never split, or leave a white cast and are packed full of other skin sweetening ingredients.
Different textures work for different skin types, and we all have our preferences on what we like on our own skin. When looking for a facial sunscreen, consider if you prefer to have a lightweight, milky serum texture, a gel texture, or creamy texture. Also consider what finish you want your sunscreen to have. Matte will work well during summer or if you’ve got oily skin, whilst satin, or barely there will suit others more.
The best reason for wearing a specific sunscreen for your face is that it considers your skin type. Those with sensitive skin can have particular difficulty when using sunblock, so it’s a total win that you can choose a product designed to cater for sensitivity. We love the Clean Screen SPF 30 for sensitive skin to keep your complexion from having a hissy fit. If you’ve got an oily skin type, opt for something mattifying like Lean Screen SPF 50+. Particularly dry skin? Try Queen Screen SPF 50+ for an extra hit of hydration and glow along with your sun protection.
Do you have a preference when it comes to chemical or mineral formulations? Both offer excellent UVA and UVB protection so it really comes down to personal preference. Oftentimes those with sensitive skin tend to find mineral formulas work best and don’t react with their skin types. However, if you just can’t bear a zinc formula then a chemical sunscreen could be best for you.
Want to smell like roses or prefer to keep it clean and lean? When it comes to skincare and makeup products, you really want to consider fragrance. Sensitive skin types generally prefer to opt for fragrance-free to avoid any potential irritation. If this sounds like you, you’ll love the fragrance-free Lean Screen from Ultra Violette. And if fragrance is no issue for you, Queen Screen smells like a dream with her pretty rose scent.
Another great benefit of opting for a specific face sunscreen is that you can choose a tinted version (and ditch your foundation while you’re at it!) The new Dream Screen tinted sunscreen from Ultra Violette is our top pick for 2022. Choose from 11 dreamy shades and enjoy light coverage and UV ray protection at the same time.
