Overexposure to UVA rays is one of the top causes of fine lines and wrinkles. It also has a massive part to play in hyperpigmentation and other undesired skin issues – so using SPF is a must if these are problems that you would prefer to avoid. Whether you’re in a cold, rainy climate or sitting around the pool in scorching heat, the need for an SPF is the same! Here, we reveal our favourite water-resistant SPF products…

1. Shiseido Sun Protector Lotion SPF 50+ Sunscreen

Our first port of call is always Japanese beauty brand Shiseido for seriously advanced sun care products. This formulation provides a high SPF coverage but doesn’t leave the skin feeling greasy or heavy with the product. It also helps to block air pollution from penetrating the skin, and features ‘HeatForce’ and ‘WetForce’ technology – meaning it’ll go into overdrive when the skin is exposed to extreme heat, water or sweat.

2. Sisley Sun Care SPF 50+

This formula feels like velvet on the skin. It creates the perfect dewy glow and doesn’t leave your skin looking like you’ve smothered it in thick white sunscreen. It also contains shea butter and vitamin E, which keep skin hydrated and nourished.

3. Chantecaille SeaScreen 30 Mineral Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen Mist SPF30

The Chantecaille SeaScreen is perfect for the whole family to use as it’s made without chemicals. It’s also perfect for when you are swimming in the sea as it doesn’t contain oxybenzone or octinoxate, the chemicals that damage corals. It’s infused with herbal ingredients that soothe parched skin, while also providing top-class sun protection.

4. Skinceuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF50 Sunscreen Protection

Light, airy and super water-resistant, this SPF provides top-notch protection and contains a natural tint to give you a glow without the burn. 

5. Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen SPF30

This SPF is probably the most lightweight of them all. After applying, it feels like there is nothing on your skin whatsoever – no tackiness, greasiness or white cast on the face. And FYI – it also doubles up as an amazing make-up primer!

6. Paula’s Choice Sunscreen SPF50

For prestige antioxidant protection as well as a fail-safe SPF, this is our go-to. It can be used on the face or body and is super gentle for sensitive skin types.

7. EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF46

If you’ve got oily skin, this is the perfect oil-free formula. It’s packed with calming ingredients that will also soothe aggravated skin and prevent acne or spots from becoming irritated. It’s super lightweight and leaves a gorgeous silky veil on the skin.
