It may come as a surprise, but sunscreen should be worn every day – not just during the summertime. However, adding an extra step to your morning routine can be a real chore.
Luckily, there are products that act both as moisturisers and sunscreens. One of the best on the market is the £22 Skin Defence Multi- Protection Light Essence SPF 50 PA +++ from The Body Shop.
The ultra-lightweight, moisturising formula works to protect your skin against damaging UV rays, as well as helping protect from indoor and outdoor pollution. And most importantly, it’s non-greasy – making it suitable for acne prone complexions – and won’t leave a white sheen.

To prep your skin before applying the moisturising SPF, you can also use the £12 Vitamin E Moisturising Toner from The Body Shop. The sunscreen has a 4.7 rating from across 354 reviews.
A very satisfied shopper wrote: “I have tried numerous SPFs over the years and this product is the only one that doesn’t leave me with a white cast (I have tanned skin). Very moisturising and easy to apply.

“The best sunscreen I’ve ever used! It smells good, absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave a white cast!” another added, while a third commented: “I have been using this for a couple of years now and wouldn’t swap it, it works brilliantly, it’s not greasy and doesn’t give me any reactions.”
There has been very little criticism of the product, but some customers weren’t impressed with the results: “Disappointed with this product. Leaves face looking white and greasy, despite claiming to be non-greasy – no better than much cheaper alternatives.”
