Best Moisturisers with SPF - we should all be using one of these

We know that we must wear SPF every day even in the UK. However sunscreens for the face have been, in the past, a chalky, white cream that cannot be massaged it. Skincare has moved on and the new generation of moisturisers with SPF have been refined. These creams are now produced without compromising on texture, scent, or effectiveness.

These multitasking daily face and body moisturisers slip sun protection into your skin-care routine seamlessly, because there is SPF already in the formula. This is so much better than applying moisturiser and then a suncream on top. These moisturisers with SPF make the application so much easier however you will need to reapply throughout the day in order to stay protected.

As a heatwave has hit us I thought I would give you a list of the best moisturisers with SPF. A few of these are dermatologist-approved picks too.

A&G FAVOURITE

Best moisturisers with SPF: GUINOT NEWHITE UV 50 — **GUINOT NEWHITE** UV 50

Our favourite at A&G because it gives great coverage, smoothing out wrinkles, it illuminates and with SPF50 it gives the best protection. No need for foundation as it does it all. Could add a few drops of CoverFX tint it you wanted a bit of extra colour

BEST LUXURY BRAND

Best moisturisers with SPF: SARAH CHAPMAN SKINESIS Skin Insurance SPF 30 — **SARAH CHAPMAN SKINESIS** Skin Insurance SPF 30 £52 from Amazon
Absolutely love the whole Sarah Chapman range but it is a bit out of my budget! However if you want to treat yourself to a product this summer that is so good then try this Insurance. It is light-activated to provide protection from infrared, thermal and UV damage. Active stem cells prevent, and reverse, sun-induced wrinkles whilst the light tint helps even out skin tone.

Thank you so much. Always happy to hear of our readers’ recommendations as we have never heard of or tried everything. Definitely will look into this one. A&G

A perfect prompt to remind me to thank you for the Guinot Newhite recommendation when you first mentioned it a few weeks ago…It really is wonderful, it quickly transforms from white to your skin tone colour, and leaves a lovely dewy glow all day long. I use it over serum and eye cream, and find I don’t need an additional moisturiser. On my T-zone, I’ll use a tiny dab of La Roche-Posay Antithelos anti-shine SPF 50+ Tinted, which is more mattifying. I always enjoy your REAL recommendations; thank you and please keep them coming!
