We know that 10-step (or more) skincare routines are the norm. But for busy working women who want to sleep in just a little longer in the morning, multifunctional products to simplify their skincare routines are always welcome. And since applying sunscreen is an important step in skincare — especially if you want to stave off premature ageing and hyperpigmentation — sunscreens that do it all are one of the must-have products in your routine. Here, the best eight do-it-all sunscreens to buy.
This face moisturiser, which has SPF 40, has blue-green algae extracts and a mineral called cerium to help moisturise skin, fight off damaging free radicals and scatter blue light emitted from electronic devices. The moisture-binding plant formula also helps protect against pollution.
A lightweight moisturiser, this offers long-lasting hydration and targets existing dark spots with a blend of skin-brightening ingredients to suppress melanin production, prevent collagen breakdown, promote microcirculation, soothe inflammation and protect skin against pollutants.
This do-it-all moisturiser is suitable for all skin types, and for both body and face application. Enriched with virgin coconut oil and glycerin, this helps keep skin moisturised and soft. It’s also non-comedogenic, so it prevents acne breakouts too.
This foundation has Alpha Lipoic Acid that helps diminish the appearance of wrinkles and pores over time. It also has a vitamin C derivative to correct discolouration and brighten complexion, to impart a natural radiance to skin.
This lightweight sunscreen lotion has vitamins A, C and E, and safflower extracts to provide antioxidant benefits to skin. It is also tinted, which helps balance out skin tones and impart a flattering radiance to skin. It is also free of parabens, sulfates and phthalates.
Suitable for normal to oily skin types, this two-in-one moisturiser and sunscreen has jojoba, wheatgerm and grapeseed oils to decongest clogged pores while nourishing skin with antioxidants. It is also enriched with shea butter and organic aloe vera to soothe skin and keep it smooth and soft.
Formulated with plum water, this sunscreen brightens skin and imparts a natural, luminous glow to skin. It also has antioxidants to help prevent free radical damage from UV rays and pollutants. The oil-free sunscreen also disappears into skin upon application, and calms, soothes and hydrates skin at the same time.
Japanese wild rose and a blend of vitamins and minerals help nourish skin while broad-spectrum SPF protects against UVA and UVB rays. Glycerin and algae extract help moisturise and smooth skin too. This lightweight sunscreen also has anti-ageing benefits while providing a mattifying effect to skin.
