Why We Wear SPF Every Day

Summer is here but most of us are going to be enjoying another summer of staycations this year, this does not mean you can get away with purchasing some SPF. We all seem to think that suncream is just for that roasting hot Spain sun but even the Irish sun can have a lasting effect on your beautiful skin.

Make-up that contains high SPF

If you prefer more coverage for your daily skincare routine but do not like to use too many products. You might be better reaching for a foundation with a high SPF. This can save you from using too many products on your skin.

Some of our favourite foundation products with high SPF are:
