When it comes to the summertime, there’s nothing more important than protecting your skin from harmful UV rays that are scientifically bound to promote not only sunburn, but premature ageing of the skin. Whilst many of us spent our childhoods bouncing around on vacation coated in suncream that left a definitive white-cast, we’re here to prove that protecting your skin no longer has to come at a cost. With a variety of innovative products doubling up as either makeup or skincare, below, you’ll find five of Voir’s favourite SPF infused products that offer a variety of simplistic sun protection methods.
Fenty Skin – Hydra Vizor Invisible Moisturizer Spf 30
Rihanna’s Fenty Skin has been all over our feeds ever since its launch, but after testing their products, why wouldn’t it be? This moisturiser is invisible across all skin tones, counteracting dehydration and discolouration whilst offering all day universal SPF 30 protection. Clean, vegan, and gluten-free, Fenty offers refillable packaging and proves suitable for all skin types – without clogging your pores. This product is perfect for under your makeup, absorbing instantly without piling up or promoting greasiness. Apply every day for desirable results – just insert the refill into the outer holster, making sure the pump is lined up with the cutout, then push the refill down until you hear a click. Distribute accordingly and you’re good to go!
Hello Sunday – The One For Your Lips
Hello Sunday is committed to creating products that are mindful of our planet, avoiding chemicals known to cause harm to sea life. Boasting products that are both vegan and cruelty free, Hello Sundays’ creations are super-lightweight and particularly protective. Infused with SPF 50, this lip balm will keep your lips plush all day long, packed with squalane and shea butter to ensure a soft finish you can’t help but adore. You can apply the balm onto your lips as needed throughout the day – ideally 30 minutes before going outside.
Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Sunscreen
Glow Recipe’s fruit infused Niacinamide Sunscreen is the perfect addition to your summer toiletries bag, designed to chemically boost your skin’s radiance whilst simultaneously protecting your skin via SPF 50. Filled with hyaluronic acid and aloe, this sunscreen is ultra-lightweight and moisturising, eliminating fine lines and wrinkles without leaving a white cast. Shake well before applying, then work in sections as you distribute the product generously yet evenly across your skin. Whilst you’ll have to wait 15 minutes following application before basking in the sun, you can re-apply this product over your makeup throughout the day – just apply little dots and pat them in gently with your fingertips or a sponge!
Nars Cosmetics – Smooth & Protect Primer SPF50
Everyone loves a little primer to blur their imperfections, pores and fine lines prior to applying their everyday makeup. Cleverly, NARS’ creation of a broad-spectrum sunscreen that doubles up as a primer is both oil-free and weightless. Like Hello Sunday, this product utilises powerful antioxidants to deflect pollution and environmental aggressors, whilst its’ Invisible Defence Technology ensures protection against damaging rays. Apply this product beneath your makeup, or simply, wear it alone for a radiant glow.
BareMinerals – Complexion Rescue Tinted Moisturizer SPF30
If you’re looking for a dewy skin tint that is both fresh and buildable, Bare Minerals’ Complexion Rescue Tinted Moisturiser is ideal. Offering effortlessly natural coverage and mineral-based protection, this gel-like formula will hydrate your skin for up to twelve hours, improving your skin’s texture, reducing breakouts and most importantly, revitalising skin that has been damaged by UV rays. We recommend pairing this product with Bare Minerals’ Smoothing Face Brush, blending a pearl-sized amount evenly across your face. If you prefer to use your fingertips, dot the product onto your cheeks, forehead, chin and nose, then blend outward.
