Cosmetics and beauty products that contain SPF, are a great option if you’re spending most of your time indoors and only being exposed to the sun for just a brief period of the day. But as the summer season approaches, you’re going to need a little more than your favourite foundation that contains some SPF to protect you. Let us remind you that it’s not just during the summer that we need to be wearing SPF products, especially if you live in the GCC. Even on the cloudiest of days, our skin is susceptible to harmful UV rays. In fact, it’s been proven that clouds block as little as 30% of the sun’s UV rays. And, as well as the obvious body and skin protection, SPF has many other benefits and has even in some cases been known as an aid in treating acne. As the warmer season approaches, we have put together the best SPF products of 2022, so you can keep your skin looking and feeling young.
