THE SPF CHEAT SHEET
By Mark Fountain, 14 May 2023

BEST FOR ON-THE-GO
Garnier Ambre Solaire SPF 50+ Sensitive Advanced Hypoallergenic Dry Mist Sun Cream Spray, £8
Little and often is an SPF rule to live by. Jumping in and out of the pool? Strolling around the city? Well, this dry mist spray has you covered for all those sunscreen top-ups. It's water-resistant, non-greasy and absorbs super quick – throw it in your bag and move on to the next activity on the rosta📝

BEST FOR FLAWLESS MAKEUP
Think flawless makeup and SPF don’t mix? Think again, coz this high-spec protection is designed to sit underneath your foundation as a perfectly balanced skin shield, leaving a soft matte finish 🛡️ – It's an instant add-to-bag for us 🛒

BEST SPF HYBRID
ALPHA-H Daily Essential Moisturiser SPF 50+ with Vitamin E 50ml, £35
We love to see a hard-working two-in-one that saves space in your wash bag, and this SPF from Alpha-H more than meets the brief 🤌 Can someone tell us why we've been carrying around sunscreen AND moisturiser all this time!? Just when you thought it couldn't get better, it's enriched with skin-saving vitamin E, too! We call that a win-win situ.

BEST FOR FACE *AND* BODY
Now your face is G2G, it's time to show your body some SPF love, too 😘 The pros at Aussie brand Bondi Sands say this magic potion is water resistant for up to FOUR hours 😎 Plus, it's infused with algae for a super-hydrating feel. Cover yourself in this, put your sun lounger into recline and turn your chill mode on 🏖️

BEST OF FOR YOUR CARRY-ON
Let’s face it, vacay time is when most of y’all will be using SPF on the reg (despite our best efforts 😜). So a travel-size sunscreen that can squeeze into your hand luggage is a no-brainer (seee ya 👋 excess baggage). Clinique def know a thing or two about sun protection, and their SPF packs a punch in any bottle, big or small.
