“It’s a myth that those with darker skin tones don’t need sunscreen. Black and Asian skin may have an advantage with a natural SPF of up to 13, but that is not enough protection - even in the UK. UV exposure can cause uneven skin tone and hyper-pigmentation, premature skin ageing and even skin cancers, so an SPF of at least 30 is crucial for all skin tones.” Abi Cleeve, MD at Ultrasun UK

“Broad Spectrum means protection against both UVA & UVB rays. UVA rays penetrate deep into skin, damaging collagen and elastin, which ages skin. UVB rays damage the outer layer of skin and are mainly associated with burning. Therefore, by using a broad-spectrum sunscreen, you can be assured that the inner & outer layers of the skin are protected.” Ruzana Sultan, Innovation Specialist at Coco & Eve

“Physical sunscreens, known as mineral sunscreens, are popular for those with sensitive skin because the ingredients aren’t absorbed into the skin itself, rather the mineral sunscreen sits on the surface of the skin and acts as a screen that deflects UV rays.” - Siobhan, Bondi Sands Head of Brand UK & EMEA

“The two-finger method is an easy way to measure how much sunscreen should be applied on your face. To try this technique, simply squeeze the product in two separate lines along your pointer and middle finger. If you are using a spray, apply on the area until an even sheen appears on the skin.” - Lauren Acutt, Brand Manager at Lancaster

“Sunscreen is designed to protect your skin against UVA and UVB Rays which cause sunburn, sun damage, skin ageing, DNA damage and skin cancer. When sunscreen expires, it no longer offers protection against these dangers.” - Molly Nicholas, national trainer and MUA at Shiseido
