Best SPF under makeup

SPF: Your Makeup’s Secret Weapon

Want to know what the best anti-aging skincare is? Sunscreen. Believe it or not, wearing sunscreen each day helps your skin in the long run. Sun protection isn’t just for beach days; UV rays are around 365 days a year, and they’re the number one cause of premature skin ageing. That means fine lines, pigmentation, and loss of skin firmness can all be slowed down with a daily dose of sunscreen.

Gone are the days of greasy, slippery sunscreen underneath your makeup. There are so many on the market now to protect you and work in with your makeup. Many modern formulas are lightweight, hydrating, and designed to sit beautifully under foundation without pilling or feeling greasy.

Especially with the harsh New Zealand sun, daily protection is a must. Look for a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher.

My top recommendations for sunscreen underneath makeup are:

• La Roche Posay Anthelios SPF50 (Available at Chemist Warehouse)

• Mecca Cosmetica To Save Face SPF50 (Mecca)

• Trinny London BBF Skin Perfector (Trinnylondon.com)

• Beauty of Joseon Rice Probiotic (Available at Hikoco)

• RoundLab Birch Juice Moisturising Sunscreen (Hikoco)

Hope this helps!
