As temperatures rise across the UK, the beauty team at British Brief has been testing the best sunscreens on the market. Beyond preventing sun damage, the NHS highlights SPF as a skincare essential for maintaining long-term skin health and warding off premature ageing.
Jada Jones, a beauty writer, recommends the Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Rice + Probiotics SPF50+. She says it is hydrating and provides excellent protection, even during a recent holiday in Morocco. She notes that it is affordable and works well on both face and body, though it may leave a slight white cast when submerged in water.
Another favourite from Jada is the Thank You Farmer Sun Project Water Sun Cream SPF50+. She describes it as a must-have that performs like a moisturiser, absorbs quickly, and leaves no white cast. At £18, she finds it reasonably priced and notes that a single tube lasts around nine months with regular use.
For those seeking a tinted option, Jada praises Kosas DreamBeam Sunscreen in the shade Sunlit. She says it provides a natural glow and evens out skin tone, making it a great replacement for foundation. However, as it is SPF30, she advises frequent reapplication.
Finally, Jada highlights Allies of Skin THE ONE SPF 50 Invisible Sunscreen Gel for its unique texture. She describes it as a clear gel that absorbs instantly, leaving skin feeling hydrated and primed for makeup. It is an excellent choice for those who want a lightweight, invisible sunscreen.
