Let’s face it, no one likes putting on sunscreen but if it helps you delay ageing, the least you could do is to find a sunscreen that isn’t sticky. Here are our recommendations.
Most sunscreens have a fluid texture so it can be hard to wrap your head around a stick sunscreen, but swipe it on your skin and you’ll fall in love with its non-sticky texture. We love how it can be applied both before or after makeup, so it’s perfect to pack along for touch ups.
Another sunscreen that’s great for using over makeup is the Bioderma Hydrabio 2-in-1 Moisturising Anti-UV Mist, it contains hydrating ingredients to moisturise skin, while shielding it against UV damage and pollution.
You might be new to this brand, but the Chantecaille Ultra Sun Protection is a cult favourite around the world. It has a light rose scent and its anti-glycation technology blocks sugar molecules from reacting with proteins and fats (including collagen and elastin in your skin), delaying the signs of ageing.
The reformulated Kiehl’s Ultra Light Daily UV Defense Anti-Pollution has an improved texture that doesn’t feel oily or sticky after application. Plus, it absorbs quickly so you don’t need to wait too long before putting on makeup.
