I really wanted to purchase a good high factor face cream, as I have heard all these scary stories about sun causing accelerated ageing, and I do believe them so I wanted to get into the habit of wearing a protection barrier every day. I recently had a trip to Selfridges in Manchester and purchased this product which I had planned to buy for America, as there is nothing worse than a burnt face! But I do intend to start wearing this on a daily basis under my makeup.
The claim:
"Our daily, ultra light formula intensely moisturizes the skin and utilizes a high level of sun filters Mexoryl SX and Mexoryl Xl to provide the skin with effective UVA and UVB broad-spectrum sunscreen protection. This moisturizing, oil-free lotion helps protect against the appearance of dark sports and wrinkles. Safe for sensitive skin."
I do believe this product does what it says on the tin. You could use this without even using a moisturiser, and it does feel incredibly light, not like you are wearing suncream on your face at all. Suncream tends to block up all my pores and breaks me out, but this product doesn't do that at all. It doesn't smell of anything either which is a bonus!
I can't really judge the product in terms of sun defence, as I haven't tested it in sunny weather yet, but I will be soon and I doubt it will disappoint being SPF 50.
This product is not cheap, however I am a massive believe in prevention when it comes to wrinkles, rather than tackling them after they have developed, and I do believe this product may help my skin in the long-term. It is available here at Khiels.
NB: This post was scheduled before I went to America. I will currently be sunning it up and won't be back until mid September, so I apologise for any late replies to comments etc! I will get back to you when I can! x
