By now we all know how important it is to wear sunscreen every day. Come rain or shine, wearing SPF every day is the best way to protect your skin from the suns harmful UV rays. But let’s be honest, how many times have you been lazy and skipped out on it? I totally get, we’ve all been there! Sometimes you’re in a rush and adding another step into your existing skincare and makeup routine can seems troublesome. Although the matter remains that sunscreen is crucial, however, to make our lives easier, many makeup brands have been incorporating SPF into their products. Although it must be noted, it does not replace your daily sunscreen dose, no matter how much you put on! But it’s definitely a worthy boost that can help the cause.

Having SPF in your makeup gives you the minimum amount of sun protection on the fly, especially if you didn’t think you would be out during the day. Genius right? However, it must be noted that most makeup products you’ll find usually contain only a level of 15-20 SPF which is not enough. Ideally, you should be wearing at least an SPF of 30. This means you should be looking for makeup with a higher SPF. Of course, at first, finding the right level of sun protection on makeup can be confusing but it’s totally worth it in the long run. And no worries! We’ve got you covered! Ahead we’ve listed our favourite essential SPF makeup products that will give you that extra protection on a daily basis.
