This SPF Gives Me A Golden Glow – It's The Best I've Tried Out Of Hundreds
Emma Lewisham is a long time favourite on the Grazia beauty desk. Beauty director Annie Vischer swears by the the eye cream, while acting beauty director Verity Clark was a slave to the Supernatural Elixir. The first product I tried from the brand? That would be the Emma Lewisham Sunceutical SPF 50 Mineral Face Crème, £46. It's the best I've used. This is high praise, given I'm an SPF snob. And while there's been a couple of others I've loved of late (the La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVAir is amazing for hydration and Augustinus Bader's The Sunscreen SPF50is a skin soothing delight) it's Emma Lewisham's that has remained my favourite. It's no wonder - Lewisham is well known for her efficacious yet luxurious formulas that yield real results. Here, glow is guaranteed. So imagine my thrill (and surprise) when yet another SPF from the brand landed on my desk. Suited to all skin types, the Emma Lewisham Skinceutical SPF 50 is a mineral sunscreen that protects against UV and UVA rays. It also imparts a gorgeous, glowing radiance atop of skin thanks to the beautiful, bronzed tint from within the formula - this promotes a more even skin tone. It's good for bolstering skin in the long run, too. Palmitoyl tripeptide-1, pongomia pinnata seed extract and zinc oxide are known for their moisturising and protecting prowess. Emma Lewisham Sunceutical SPF 50 Mineral Glow Serum What Emma Lewisham says: 'Protect the skin from UVA and UVB rays with Emma Lewisham Sunceutical SPF 50 Mineral Glow Serum, a mineral sunscreen that helps give skin a more radiant look. Working to improve the appearance of fine lines, this sunscreen serum helps to promote more even-toned skin. It imparts a bronzing glow for fair to light skin, a subtle tint for medium skin, and a highlighting effect for deep complexions.' What we know: Promising no white-cast, this bronze tinted SPF is suited to all skin types and tones. Apply daily for broad-spectrum mineral protection from UVA and UVB rays and to help protect against daily environmental stressors.' Rachael Martin, beauty editor says: 'For an efficacious facial sunscreen that oozes luxury consider this your new go to. It's featherlight, is beautiful to apply and plays perfectly under make-up. Plus, it leaves behind a beautiful, golden glow that could be from the sun. Only you know you're well, and truly protected.' Pros Suited to all skin types Refillable jar Dermatologically tested Cons I use this as the final step in my morning skincare routine. I shake the tub to ensure the formulation is adequately mixed. I then sweep two pumps across my face before following with a third down my neck. As ever, liberal application is a must to ensure optimum protection - experts recommend two finger lengths for the full face. I also apply this atop of my make-up for added glow - the finish is much like a liquid bronzer. I've been testing this one for the past three weeks. Honestly, I'd not usually write a review after such a short amount of time. Where skincare is concerned, I prefer to test for around three months. That said, I'm keen to share my thoughts so far for two reasons. Firstly, the weather is (at the time of writing!) nice - so there's no better time to buy an SPF. And secondly, I suspect this one may sell out. The fact I've come to this conclusion after a mere three weeks of testing? Well, I'm as impressed as you are. I have sensitive, oily skin, and I'd know within days if my skin was going to react adversely - I'd typically develop small, white heads. I've had no problems with this one and my skin actually looks more radiant than in has done in quite some time. Rachael Martin beauty editor says: 'As with the original Emma Lewisham SPF the colour is the first thing I notice. While that one erred on the side of pink, this one takes on a bronze tone. Texture wise it's light and silky - there's no stickiness at all, and it doesn't leave behind tackiness when smoothed across my skin. The first time I apply my complexion turns red. This is normal for me - anything that gets the blood flowing makes the underlying ruddiness come through. Within a few minutes, though, the redness has settled revealing a sheer, subtle glow. It's not quite as pigmented as a fake tan would be. Instead, it's much more subtle - a barely there veil of gold that manages to works wonders when it comes to levelling out my blotchy skin tone. There's no coverage - my blemishes are still very much there, but my skin does look more even overall. And for those who hate sparkle? Never fear. This is more of a glisten as opposed to a mega-watt sheen. It wears well under make-up and sits beautifully on top of it. My oily skin isn't left looking greasy, just glowy - it really hits that sweet spot. As with all Emma Lewisham products it's the price that gets me - it's a heavy hit. But the results, I think, assure me it's money worth spending. 'For an efficacious facial sunscreen that oozes luxury consider this your new go to. It's featherlight, is beautiful to apply and plays perfectly both over and under make-up. Plus, it leaves behind a beautiful, golden glow that could just be from the sun. I won't tell if you won't.'

What's new beautiful? The expert's guide to this week's best beauty
March has shaped up as a pivotal period for beauty enthusiasts to update their routines, as the world's biggest brands have continued to roll out a steady stream of showstopper innovation to kick start the spring season. As the month draws to a close, here are the most exciting and noteworthy drops of this week. I caught up with Emma Lewisham last Wednesday, as she nipped over from New Zealand for a whistle-stop UK business trip. It's always a joy to hear her latest thoughts on the beauty industry and all that's new in skincare. She explained that this mineral sun cream is her most ambitious (and by all accounts challenging), innovation yet. No less than eight years in the making, it incorporates 65% skincare benefits - so you can do away with your moisturiser should you wish - and features an advanced dispersion technology to evenly distribute its 20% zinc oxide content and prevent the chalkiness and white cast associated with mineral sunscreens. £46 ( Armani Beauty makeup formulas are cult favourites for their luxurious textures which translate into cool, modern makeup looks, and this new mascara is no exception. With a silky smooth, smudge-proof formula, and clever super-fine brush it scoops up, separates and stretches out each and every lash for sculpted, clump-free definition and up to 5mm extra length. £30 ( Warmer times are coming, but if you are still struggling with tricky, transeasonal skin then do consider these new drops from Barbara Sturm. Formulated with skin-identical ceramides derived from natural Oat Lipids, Argan, Evening Primrose and Sweet Almond Oils, plus Phytosqualine, it works to strengthen and revitalise the skin barrier. £125 ( Zara's hair styling range is formulated and designed by the global hairstyling and backstage runway royalty that is Guido Palau. Responsible for producing much of the most influential hair in fashion over the last decades, Palau is an omniscient backstage presence at the world's biggest runways, while his work features on the covers of every global fashion glossy. Part of a new capsule curl collection, this excellent finishing serum enhances curl definition, while softening hair mid-lengths and ends without weighing them down. £15.99 ( Givenchy Parfums has announced Alpine's F1 racer Pierre Gasly as front-man of their new Gentleman Society Eau de Parfum Ambrée. 'It makes me feel great,' he told Madeleine Spencer for The London Standard last week. 'It also has a nice touch of sensuality to it, so I think it's very well rounded. I wear it morning and night, putting it on after training everyday, and right before bed because I like to smell good when I get into bed.' Expect Vetiver, Peruvian Balsam and Madagascan Vanilla in this heady, opulent and addictive spritz. From £85 for 60ml at
