Science Matters: The Protection Edit
Sun’s out, protecting our skin is always in. And with these science-backed beauty picks in our toolkit, it’s never been easier - including the eye creams that boost our barriers and the best sunscreens for everyday. With dreams of sunshine on the horizon, there’s no better time than now to elevate your skincare routine. Just don’t blame us when you add all of this specially selected edit to your basket.
Which ingredients should I use to protect my skin?
When it comes to skin protection, nothing is more important than applying our SPF on the daily. Whatever comes before this crucial step in your routine can, however, boost sun protection. Enter star skincare ingredient, Vitamin C, which - when applied in the AM - gives our skin an extra boost.
Keeping our skin cool, calm and protected doesn’t just mean topping up our SPF, though. Our barrier health is *just* as important. For protecting ours, we always turn to Ceramide-rich, Probiotic and Prebiotic-rich formulas. We might find moisturisers featuring these ingredients in abundance, but we’ve also picked out some barrier-protecting products for every single step in your routine. We know, you’re welcome.
