SPF should be a vital part of your daily skincare routine, no matter what the weather.
Sun Protection Factor is so important when it comes to protecting your skin, and it has a major role in preventing ageing.
Applying SPF was previously seen as a chore, as it was only available in thick creams that caused serious breakouts.
But now, there’s so many amazing beauty products on the market that incorporate SPF in the best way possible.
Boots Ireland have a range of incredible products that will help you achieve a stunning summer glow, while also keeping your skin safe.
Check out our top picks below:
Sculpted Tint & Glow Shade 4 SPF30 – €25
Sculpted by Aimee Connolly offers a range of gorgeous products with broad spectrum SPF.
One of our faves is their latest skin boosting product Tint & Glow, which includes a blend of hyaluronic acid and niacinamide to create a healthy glowing finish.
As the name suggests, this product will tint the skin with a lightweight sheer coverage, and protect your face with SPF30.
The best news? If you spend €49 or more on selected Sculpted by Aimee products in Boots Ireland, you’ll receive a free Sculpted Complexion Brush.
This dual-ended brush is your perfect asset to a flawless complexion, and can be used for all your foundation, primer, concealer and cream tint needs.
