All about SPF

As May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month, spreading the word about the importance of sun protection has never been greater





According to Cancer Research, there are 16,700 new cases of melanoma skin cancer per year in the UK— that is 46 new cases each day, however interestingly, 86% of cases are preventable.

Prioritising daily sunscreen usage is paramount to preventing skin damage in the first place, however finding an SPF that works for your client’s routine, and more importantly, their skin, can be tricky. Amongst our portfolio of exclusive brands, we have a range of broad-spectrum SPFs that are formulated with skin-nourishing ingredients in a variety of formulas and finishes.

We spoke to the Wigmore team to find out which sunscreens they will be using this summer...

My all-time favourite SPF is the ZO Skin Health Sunscreen + Primer SPF 30. I love the priming effect it gives and the silky matte finish. I have rosacea so this helps to reduce my redness and it contains a firming peptide to give my skin a plumping boost. Throughout the day, I like to reapply the ZO Sunscreen + Powder SPF 30 for extra protection and to keep my oily skin at bay.

I swear by Colorescience’s Face Shield Glow SPF 50. This has replaced my foundation, and I just wear this alone as my base every day. It has a golden-champagne toned formula which gives my skin a boost of radiance, and a lightweight, non-greasy finish that doesn’t budge throughout the day.

After searching long and hard for a multi-purpose SPF, I finally came across the ZO Skin Health Smart Tone Broad-Spectrum SPF 50. I wanted to find something that would simplify my routine in the mornings, but still keep me protected and provide a bit of colour coverage. The tone-adapting formulation covers my redness and leaves me with a brighter, more radiant complexion.

My holy grail summer SPF is the HydroPeptide Solar Defense Body SPF 30. This spray-on sunscreen is super quick and easy to apply and is infused with botanical ingredients so it has a gorgeous natural scent. It also doesn’t leave that irritating ‘sticky’ feeling unlike traditional body SPFs—I can’t wait to take it to the beach this summer!
