Sunscreens don’t just protect you from harmful UV rays. These help even out skin tone and hide flaws, allowing you to skip the usual base makeup, so you’ll get more time to be out… in the sun.
This silky beige cream works as a three-in-one product – it brightens, hydrates, and protects against UV rays and pollution. Bonus: Its brightening complex is said to reduce the appearance of dark spots.
The American brand’s gentle lotion is formulated with a 100 per cent mineral-based filter – perfect for sensitive and acne-prone skin. Lightly tinted, it’s infused with antioxidant-rich vitamin E to reduce the effects of free radical damage and premature ageing.

A sunscreen/foundation hybrid that lends a nice, rosy glow while keeping flaws hidden, it’s made with a waterproof formula so that it stays on skin even after a swim.
Colour correct, reduce the appearance of imperfections, reduce oiliness, and boost radiance – this cream does all that, plus it lightens pigmentation over time (thanks to its vitamin C).

Water-resistant, this leaves the complexion with an even-toned, natural-looking finish. Vitamin E and edelweiss extract promise to soothe oxidative stress and strengthen skin’s barrier function.
Those with very sensitive skin can use this without worry, as it contains only physical sunscreen agents such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. Marrying high UV protection with great coverage, it has marine algae extracts and antioxidants to help protect against free radical damage.
A light-as-air tint that instantly evens out the complexion, it includes the brand’s signature Miracle Broth, said to bolster the skin’s natural repair process. Plus, it has red algae extract to help reduce the appearance of enlarged pores, lines and wrinkles, so you can achieve a silky, smooth countenance.
