If there’s one skincare tip that all dermatologists and skin experts swear by, it’s to wear SPF every single day. Exposure to UVA and UVB rays can damage the skin and lead to signs of premature ageing, which is why it’s so important to layer on that SPF, whatever the weather. That said, most of us can admit to occasionally skipping this step, particularly in the cooler months or when it’s cloudy outside. It could be because you’ve not found ‘the one’ or perhaps you just don’t want to add another step to your skincare routine, but whatever the reason, we have the solution: a derm-developed hybrid that combines refreshing hydration with SPF protection. Say hello to your new favourite moisturiser with SPF: NEW Clinique Moisture Surge™ SPF 25 Sheer Hydrator.
Gone are the days of greasy sunscreens, sticky chalky finishes and opaque white casts: our experts have created a weightless, oil-free face moisturiser with SPF that hydrates, soothes and protects skin, leaving no white cast, even on darker skin tones. It applies seamlessly, absorbs instantly and leaves skin looking plumped and glowing – never shiny. Fragrance-free and non-comedogenic, this soothing moisturiser with SPF is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
Could this be the ultimate in hydration and protection? We like to think so. The secret is in the power-packed, hydrating formula. Though the cloud-like cream texture differs slightly from our original Moisture Surge™ 100H, it still contains the same moisturising complex of aloe vera bio-ferment and hyaluronic acid to help attract and bind moisture to skin, keeping you glowing all day long. Another ingredient to note is pro-vitamin D, aka the sunshine vitamin. The main skin benefit of vitamin D is that it provides environmental protection from daily dehydrators. All that, plus SPF 25 – what’s not to love?
Our face moisturiser with SPF is super easy to use, too. Apply it as the last step in your morning skincare routine, after your usual cleanser, exfoliator and serum. The formula looks opaque going on, so you can see where you’ve applied it, ensuring even coverage and protection. Start in the centre of your face, applying at the highest points where the sun hits first, then pat or massage outwards, covering your entire face and neck. Massage in until sheer, then add a few makeup touches to accentuate your natural dewy glow.
With skin-loving hydration and protection in one simple step, plus over 400 five-star reviews (and counting), there’s really no excuse to skip your daily SPF. And when it feels and looks as good as this, why would you want to?
