How to Choose a Daily SPF Moisturiser for Your Skincare Routine

A daily SPF product is easiest to use consistently when it works well with the rest of your routine. Protection level is important, but so are texture, comfort, application amount and whether the formula sits well under makeup or other daytime products.

Look beyond the SPF number

SPF describes protection against UVB radiation under standard test conditions. For everyday use, also look for broad-spectrum UVA protection and follow the instructions on the product. No sunscreen gives complete protection, so shade, clothing and other sun-safe behaviour remain relevant.

Choose a texture you will actually use

A product can have excellent specifications but still be a poor fit if you dislike wearing it. Drier skin may prefer a creamier moisturising texture, while oilier or combination skin may favour a lighter finish. The best option is one you can apply adequately and consistently.

Think about the rest of your routine

If you use exfoliating acids, retinoid-style products or other active skincare, daily sun protection becomes especially important. Avoid introducing several new actives at once, and follow individual product directions. If your skin is already irritated, simplify the routine before adding more products.

Application matters

Use enough product to achieve the stated protection and cover exposed areas evenly. Apply before significant sun exposure and reapply as directed, especially after swimming, sweating or towelling. Makeup containing SPF can be useful, but it may not be applied in the quantity needed to provide the labelled level of protection.
