Sunscreen

Enjoy year-round sun protection with a range of broad-spectrum sunscreen products for the face and body.

No matter your skin type, you can confidently step out into the Australian sun fully protected against damaging UVA and UVB rays. From hydrating SPF moisturisers to sunscreen brushes, explore a range of sun protection formulas with skincare benefits and the highest UV defence. 

Why is it Important to Wear Sunscreen Every Day?

Applying sunscreen every day is a quick and easy way to protect yourself from the sun’s harmful UV rays. This helps prevent sunburn, premature ageing, and skin cancer. 

UV rays penetrate the skin, regardless of direct sunlight exposure. That’s why rain, hail, or shine, you should keep your skin protected with daily sunscreen protection. 

What Type of Sunscreen is Best for My Face?

When choosing sunscreen, consider your skin type and current skin concerns. The best sun protection not only guards you from the intense Australian sun, but caters for your skin’s needs as well.

You might prefer nourishing formulas for dry skin, or products that target pigmentation. Regardless of your skin type, look for formulas that will work seamlessly with your existing products and skincare routine.

Best Sunscreen for Oily Skin

For oily skin, excess sebum leads to a shiny appearance and frequent breakouts. Non-greasy, lightweight sunscreens like SkinCeuticals Ultra Facial Defense SPF50 can minimise clogged pores and protect you from harmful UVA/UVB rays without the feeling of greasiness.

Best Sunscreen for Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin is prone to irritation and acute reactions to the external environment. Additionally, it can become overly dry or inflamed.

If you struggle with skin sensitivity, formulas that are gentle and fragrance-free such as Propaira SPF50+ Tinted Sunscreen Lotion may suit you best.

Best Sunscreen for Acne-Prone Skin

Acne-prone skin types tend to break out easily and more often. Protect your skin from sun exposure by choosing non-comedogenic formulas like Dermaceutic K Ceutic SPF50, which won't clog your pores.

FAQs

What is SPF?

SPF stands for sun protection factor. It measures how well the sunscreen will protect the skin from sunburn. Aim for a higher SPF, to ensure your skin is properly protected everyday.

What is a Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen and Why Do I Need it?

Broad-spectrum sunscreen contains ingredients that protect your skin against UVA and UVB rays. Both heighten the risk of skin cancer. UVA also contributes to premature ageing while UVB causes sunburn.

Can I Layer SPF For Additional Protection?

Yes, you can layer SPF for additional protection. However, layering does not increase your sunscreen's total SPF. For the best overall protection, make sure you are layering at least one sunscreen that is SPF30 or higher. 

What is Tinted Sunscreen?

Tinted sunscreen is a mineral-based, broad-spectrum sunscreen that adds to skin coverage. It protects your skin from UVA and UVB rays while providing a sheer tint to better match your skin tone.
