The best SPF moisturisers you can buy

A good sunscreen or SPF moisturiser protects against UVB rays, the short-wave rays that cause sunburn, and UVA rays that cause tanning and premature ageing. The SPF rating refers to protection from burning UVB rays; the PA star rating tells you how much protection the product offers from ageing UVA rays. Look for a higher star rating to ensure broad-spectrum protection. Dermatologists recommend a minimum of SPF 15 when working indoors and on overcast days, and SPF 30 at all other times.

How to choose the best SPF moisturiser for you What’s the difference between SPF moisturisers and a separate facial sunscreen? First formulated in 1930, Elizabeth Arden’s hardworking, multitasking Eight Hour cream is a genuine beauty icon. The award-winning cream has been trusted by millions for almost a century to deeply moisturise and replenish skin, repairing damage with its soothing emollient formula. Apply your SPF moisturiser in the morning after cleansing and toning, and after your serum if you use one. Your SPF cream’s moisturising benefits won’t stop in the evening, but the SPF protection will be of less use, so you may prefer to use a non-SPF moisturiser at night.Since the cream is so rich, it takes a little while to sink into the skin, so is best applied a few minutes before makeup. Once applied, skin feels soft and clean – a feeling that lasts all day. Paraben and sulphate-free, A Perfect World includes broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection, and by defending the skin from sun damage and dehydration, it helps fight the signs of ageing from the inside out. SPF moisturisers combine the hydrating and nourishing benefits of a moisturiser with the sun protection benefits of a sunscreen. They’re perfect for regular use outside of the summer months, and typically sit well under makeup. Sun protection is a vital part of any skincare routine year-round, not only to prevent sunburn and the risk of skin cancer, but also to minimise the effects of ageing including fine lines and discolouration. Dermatologists recommend using an SPF (sun protection factor) cream daily, even on cloudy days and through the winter months. During the spring and summer months, a separate facial sunscreen offers the best sun protection; but in autumn and winter, a moisturising cream with SPF protection makes a lightweight and hydrating alternative.
