The best sunscreen is the one you’ll actually use (daily). But if you’ve been avoiding SPF for any reason – sticky texture, greasy finish or just straight-up ruining your makeup – it’s time to change that, stat! As the single best investment you can make for your skin (and the step that, if skipped, makes all your other skincare redundant!), sunscreen is a non-negotiable, and there’s no-one who knows that better than Naked Sundays founder Samantha Brett.

About this course:

To help you find the right SPF for you, Brett stopped by MECCAversity to show us her daily sunscreen routine and decode the different formulas (if you don’t know your primary from your secondary, or your physical from your chemical, take note!). As the number one way to protect your skin, aid in the prevention of premature skin photo-ageing and may assist in preventing some skin cancers, knowing about all things SPF is essential.

Along the way, you’ll learn:

How to choose your primary SPF as the base for your sun protection.
How to layer your SPF with your makeup and incorporate secondary SPF.
How to top up your sun protection during the day.

ALWAYS READ THE LABEL AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE. Sunscreen is only one form of sun protection. Avoid prolonged sun exposure and reapply as directed.
