The best SPFs for your face, as tested by a beauty editor
As any dermatologist or skincare fanatic will tell you, there is no point in buying fancy serums or expensive creams if you're not using SPF. Apart from the more sinister realities that come with not using one, you're also putting your skin at risk of decreased collagen and elasticity, hyperpigmentation and fine lines. With that, we have pinned down the best of the best for every skin concern and type. And be certain, no white casts exist here. Best for sensitive skin La Roche-Posay's Anthelios Ultra-Light Invisible Fluid SPF50+ La Roche-Posay's Anthelios Ultra-Light Invisible Fluid SPF50+ (€22.50, Boots Ireland) It's lasted the test of time for a reason. A favourite of Kate Moss', this SPF is lightweight, non-sticky and packed with protection. Specially formulated for sensitive skin, this is the one to choose if you've had issues with your eyes stinging before. I love repurchasing this as I know my acne-prone skin will not break out with it. Top tip: mix it with your foundation for a dewy, your-skin-but-better look. Best for oily skin Neostrata Sheer Hydration Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 40 Neostrata Sheer Hydration Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 40 (€32.21, CH Tralee) This daily, oil-free, SPF has a sheer finish and is formulated with NeoGlucosamine, a gentle exfoliator that helps diminish the appearance of dark spots. It also features a botanical blend to target oiliness with minimal irritation. Essentially, the anti-ageing formula combines the hydrating benefits of a daily moisturiser with the broad-spectrum protection of a suncream, while also tipping away with active ingredient excellence. Give this a go, you won't be let down. Best powder SPF Eminence Sun Defence Minerals Eminence Sun Defence Minerals (€69, (€69, On the more expensive side, but this lightweight rush applicator is an excellent tool for long days and events such as weddings or festivals. Lightweight, slightly tinted and SPF 30+, this all-mineral formula is non-comedogenic (meaning it won't give you blackheads) and enriched with antioxidants for hydration while offering broad-spectrum and blue light protection. Wear on top of makeup or alone for a blurring effect. Best for under makeup Genosys Ultra Shield Sun Cream SPF 50+/PA++++ Genosys Ultra Shield Sun Cream SPF 50+/PA++++ (€43.50, Genosys is relatively new on the Irish scene but a leader in advanced South Korean cosmeceuticals. Koreans, as anyone with an interest in skincare, do not mess around with SPF formulations. As a result, this powerful daily sunscreen feels like the most luxurious moisturiser. Hydrating and soothing, it is a gorgeous primer for makeup. And it is full to the brim of excellent ingredients that will make your skin glow. Best for people who don't like the feel of suncream No7 Future Renew Damage Protection Defence Shield, SPF50 No7 Future Renew Damage Protection Defence Shield, SPF50 (€21.99, Boots) Oh man, am I hooked on this stuff. The entire Future Renew line has been formulated with universities to create products that legitimately repair the skin overnight. While there are a number of standouts, the SPF is one I will repurchase forever. (It's the one that even got my fiancé to commit to suncream every day.) Zero white cast, a fast-absorbing texture, age-defying peptide technology and hydrating Sodium Hyaluronate. It feels like air and goes on a breeze. If this doesn't convince you to commit, nothing will. Best for cities Bioderma Photoderm X-Defence Ultra-Fluid SPF50+ Bioderma Photoderm X-Defence Ultra-Fluid SPF50+ (€15.75, Skin looking as congested as the city you're living in? This is a detoxifying sun care solution with a formulation specifically created to shield skin from UV rays, visible light, infrared radiation, and pollution. It does this while offering a breathable, ultra-light texture that won't clog your pores. Best tinted IMAGE DAILY PREVENTION™ Advanced Smart Blend Mineral Moisturiser SPF 50 IMAGE DAILY PREVENTION™ Advanced Smart Blend Mineral Moisturiser SPF 50 (€85.50, A formula with colour-correcting coverage, this is a two-in-one product that will lighten the load while protecting your skin. This premium formula not only offers IMAGE's highest level of sun protection but is also specifically designed to be gentle on sensitive skin. Perfect for post-cosmetic procedures when you're a bit red, like peels and laser treatments, while also offering coverage that's perfect for everyday use. (NB: With tinted SPF, you must be sure to use the right amount — 5ml, or two finger lengths, every two hours.) Best for matte complexions Eucerin Oil Control Sun Gel-Cream SPF 50+ Face Eucerin Oil Control Sun Gel-Cream SPF 50+ Face (€19.60, If the idea of looking glowy is your nightmare, finding an SPF can be particularly tricky. Mercifully, great formulations exist. Eucerin's Oil Control SPF boasts UVA/UVB protection, HEVIS (High Energy Visible) light defence as well as oil control technology and a 12-hour anti-shine effect. This will keep your skin matte for longer, and will be suitable under matte-complexion makeup, hail, rain or shine. Read More

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.'
