Our top picks for face sunscreen
Never underestimate the power of a good face sunscreen.
Applying sunscreen should be a non-negotiable part of your morning skincare routine – especially here in Australia and even during the cooler months.
Using (and reapplying) sunscreen on your face daily helps prevent sunburn and sunspots, which can lead to skin cancer later in life.
It also protects against premature ageing and hyperpigmentation, all while creating a hydrating, protective barrier against the sun’s harmful rays.
