Introducing SPF needn’t be difficult, it’s more about finding a product that works for you.

“There are so many SPF formulations available now, that it is definitely possible for everyone to find a texture suited to their skin,” says Dr Granite.

A product such as CeraVe AM Facial Moisturising Lotion SPF50 is ideal for everyday use because it provides moisturisation and protection in one simple step.

Enriched with three essential ceramides – lipids that help keep the skin barrier healthy and intact – this fast-absorbing and non-greasy formula will deliver a high level of UV protection as part of a regular morning skincare ritual. That means no faffing about with additional products, plus no extra expense as this lotion has all the good stuff in just one bottle.

Another feature of this multi-tasker is that it’s non-comedogenic, or put more simply, it won’t clog pores unlike some other thicker, greasier SPF products. Therefore, this super lightweight moisturiser preps the skin for the day ahead, no matter your skin type.

“A good rule of thumb for how much to apply is the two finger rule – dispense two strips of product along your first and second fingers,” advises Dr Granite. “And always apply your SPF to the full face and neck as the last step in your skincare routine.”
