3 of the best SPF foundations to take on your travels

“Wear sunscreen.” A statement we’ve all heard countless times. From Mary Schmich to Baz Luhrmann’s iconic music video, and of course, your dermatologist, it’s a truth universally acknowledged that SPF is crucial.

Knowing this, beauty brands are now combining SPF with foundation so that we can feel protected whilst looking flawless.

Here are three of the best SPF foundations on the market at the moment…

Supergoop! Protec(tint) Daily Skin Tint SPF 50

Ideal when you’re looking for a ‘no-makeup’ look but still want a bit of coverage, the Protec(tint) by Supergoop! gives a sheer look but blends imperfections. Along with SPF 50, the formula is also made with hyaluronic acid-infused clay and ectoin to protect against blue light and pollution.

Estée Lauder Futurist Hydra Rescue Moisturising Foundation SPF 45

This medium coverage foundation not only promises SPF 45 coverage, but it also guarantees a dewy finish thanks to the acai oil, camellia oil and jojoba esters. A blend of chemical and mineral UV filters offers added sun protection, making it both a skincare and coverage essential.

Kosas Revealer Skin Improving Foundation SPF 25

Said to deliver a natural glow, the Kosas Revealer Skin Improving Foundation has an SPF of 25. With a buildable formula, you can choose to apply a light coverage with one pump or get a more flawless finish with two pumps. Vegan and cruelty-free, Kosas has been making waves in the UAE since its regional launch last September.
