Sun damage is one of the number one causes of dark spots and hyperpigmentation on the skin. The first thing a skincare expert or dermatologist will tell you if you ask “how can I stop my skin from ageing?”, is that you need to be religious with using SPF every single day. But what if it’s not sunny? Don’t be fooled. Not only does the sun emit UVB rays, which will burn skin when it’s hot – it also emits UVA rays, which can penetrate the clouds (even when it’s raining!), and do not need any heat to damage the skin.

Hence, SPF is a must in my daily skincare routine. Even if I’m going out for five minutes, or sitting close to a window, I will still apply it. Because prevention is always better than cure, right? However, I often find that some SPF products can be tacky, or cause a ‘white cast’ on the skin. This means that the product isn’t sinking into the skin well enough – and is just sitting on the surface, instead. While this doesn’t affect the efficacy of the product, it can sometimes feel too thick. Not to mention, it will always show up in photos!
Another thing to look out for when it comes to SPF is the level of cover it gives you. For a facial product, it’s always best to go for a minimum of SPF30. It’s also crucial to go for a ‘broad spectrum’ product, as this will ensure that your skin is protected from UVA and UVB rays.
U Beauty is a brand founded on the theory that your skincare routine should be streamlined. It means using minimum products, for maximum results. Every formula that this brand has created is vegan, cruelty-free and clean. The U Beauty Multimodal Defender Broad Spectrum SPF30 acts as a two-in-one treatment – protection against UVA and UVB rays, as well as a targeted treatment for any existing hyperpigmentation.
How I Use This Moisturizer
I use this every morning, after I’ve washed my face, and as the very last step in my skincare regime. I used a coin-sized amount to cover my face, neck and décolletage. It might seem like a lot, but this is how much is recommended for the product to work efficiently. I will then apply my make-up as usual.
My Thoughts On U Beauty Multimodal Defender
I was a bit wary of this product at first, as it does come at quite a high price. Compared to a lot of the other SPF products on the market, that is. But once I decided to go for it, I loved it. With skincare, you absolutely get what you pay for – most of the time. This SPF felt super luxurious. The texture felt more like a moisturizer on my skin, and it left no white residue. It seemed to vanish into my skin upon application, which was pretty impressive. I can safely say that I’ll be repurchasing if my wallet allows it!
