Tinted sunscreen is the not-so-secret ingredient to maintaining youthful skin while attaining a no-makeup makeup look — but the secret lies in which brands do it best. While lightweight formulas with some degree of pigment are the throughline, products range in degree of coverage, type of application, suite of skin benefits and finish. As a general rule of thumb, tinted sunscreens tend to fall in the sheer to light coverage category with a dewy, glowing finish; however, that’s not always the case. For more color payoff and matte finish options, look for products marketed as “skin tints” or “tinted moisturizers” — just be sure they have SPF in the mix.

A dermatologist reveals the SPF mistake you’re making this summer — and what to do instead

Published by Daniella Wilson

While it’s fair to say most of us love a good multi-tasking beauty product, experts warn that all-in-one skincare doesn’t necessarily extend to sun protection. As dermatologist Dr Isabel del Campo confirms: “I don’t recommend using the same sun protection on your face and body.” Not only does this mean your beach bag won’t be getting any lighter this August, but it could also impact the health of your skin barrier. What actually happens when you put body sunscreen on your face “The skin on your face is thinner, more sensitive, and has a higher density of sebaceous glands than the skin on the rest of your body,” explains the expert. “It’s also constantly exposed to environmental aggressors like UV radiation, pollution and blue light. For this reason, facial sunscreens are formulated with lighter, fast-absorbing textures, usually featuring active ingredients that protect the skin barrier and target specific concerns—such as anti-ageing or regulating excess oil.” © Getty ImagesHave fun in the sun – as long as you use different SPF formulations for your face and …

You’ve probably heard time and time again how the sun’s UV rays can harm your skin, but did you know it can also affect your hair?

The camera system also includes thermal imaging capability, which means officers can see human heat signatures through the handheld monitor.  This may be useful in search operations where people are hidden in confined spaces, behind structures or other physical barriers, said SPF in the factsheet.  Infrared light-emitting diodes, which can capture clear footage in dark environments without emitting visible light, are built into the system. This ensures the dog’s position is not compromised, said the police.  The microphone also allows two-way communication between the officers and a person, allowing the police to relay specific instructions or warnings.

What is the ‘Sunscreen Sandwich’? The viral SPF layering trend explained

Published by Daniella Wilson

Social media beauty trends can be a mixed bag; sometimes clever, sometimes questionable. But the viral ‘Sunscreen Sandwich’ gets one thing absolutely right; anything that encourages better sun protection is worth paying attention to. And it’s needed, considering only one in six Brits wear SPF daily while a third rely on makeup or moisturiser with SPF instead of a dedicated sunscreen according to a 2026 OnePoll survey. Let’s be clear; makeup with SPF alone is not enough, but used as part of a well-layered routine it can play an excellent supporting role. The ‘sunscreen sandwich’ is all about strategic layering; combining skincare, sunscreen and makeup to maximise both protection and hydration. Like any good sandwich, it comes down to quality ingredients, and the order you stack them.   Order of the day   Is an SPF sandwich the key to better skin? “The ideal ‘sandwich’ involves applying your active serums first, followed by a moisturiser and finishing with a generous layer of sunscreen,” says consultant dermatologist Dr Anjali Mahto. “Sunscreen (two finger lengths) must always …

There are two things I invariably reach for at this lovely time of year: a trench coat and tinted sunscreen.
