Suncream: Moisture Matte Broad Spectrum SPF 40
Formula: • Micronized zinc oxide offers protection from both UVA and
UVB rays without leaving residual chalkiness on the skin • Titanium dioxide reflects and scatters UV rays • Antioxidants such as knotgrass, caffeine and silybin and helps diminish damage triggered by free radicals (these damage your cells, leading to ageing)
Review: Being a daily user of a matte powdered foundation for many years, I thought I would struggle with the change in my daily routine. However, I was pleasantly surprised and had no issues using the product. Whilst applying, the product feels very silky to touch and is smooth to put onto the skin. It has a glistening shimmer, so you can see where you have added the product and provides a radiant fresh look and feel.
Bonus: This sunscreen has no scent and no flaky residue, so it sinks into the skin really well!

Suncream: PREVENTION+ Daily Moisturizer SPF 30
Formula: • Zinc oxide to protect the skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays • Formulation helps fight the effects of blue light and environmental stressors which causes dryness, discolouration and other signs of premature ageing • Free of parabens and artificial fragrances
Review: I have loved using this sunscreen throughout my day-to-day life. With the summer months here, it’s great to have my skin protected and using a brush applicator has made my life so much easier, whilst ensuring you have covered your face sufficiently. It is the perfect colour for my skin tone, but, it might not suit everyone. I would highly recommend for somebody who is looking for an alternative to wearing foundation, as I found the product really light on my skin!
Bonus: The sunscreen left my skin glowing, which has been a huge bonus!
Where to buy: You can find the sunscreen on the Image Skincare website: www.imageskincare.co.uk

Suncream: Synergy 6 SPF 50
Formula: • Contains a blend of six filters that protect from UVA/UVB and environmental pollutants • Arabian cotton extract provides protection against blue light • Antioxidants, growth factors and peptides help to restore skin barrier function and keep it protected from environmental factors whilst increasing hydration
Review: This was my first time using a tinted SPF and I loved it! The combination of an SPF and moisturiser worked well for me. My skin felt soft and supple, and I didn’t feel that I had an extra layer of product on. The tint in the SPF moisturiser made it easy to see that I had covered my entire face and blended in very well with makeup or I could wear it on its own. When removing the SPF from my face, I needed to ensure that I continued my everyday skincare routine to make sure the product was thoroughly removed.
Bonus: Packaging is small and compact, so it was easy to carry around with me!
Where to buy: You can purchase the sunscreen on the WOW Facial website: www.shop.wowfacial.co.uk

Suncream: ZO Sunscreen + Powder Broad Spectrum SPF 40
Formula: • Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide to protect against harmful
UVA and UVB rays • Fractionated melanin provides protection against blue light • ZOX12 Complex which contains vitamin A, C and E to help protect skin from free radical damage
Review: I love this product, especially the way you can easily keep applying it throughout the day and over makeup. It is easy to use and fits nicely in your handbag so convenient to reach and to take travelling. My only concern is that it isn’t obvious that you have covered the entire face, so I probably applied a bit too much, but too much sunscreen is better than not enough and all the benefits outweigh this issue! The product looks really great – lovely packaging and design!
Bonus: I tested it on holiday in Las Vegas and I did not burn, and my pigmentation behaved – so this is testament that it works brilliantly!
