SPF Explained: Why Sunscreen Is the Final Step

If you do one thing for your skin, make it daily SPF. Here's why — and how to wear it well.

No serum can out-perform sunscreen. Daily UV exposure is the biggest driver of premature ageing and uneven tone — and SPF is the step that prevents it.

How to wear it

  • Apply as the last step of your morning routine, after moisturiser.
  • Use enough — most people under-apply; two finger-lengths for the face and neck.
  • Reapply if you're outdoors for long stretches.

Even on cloudy days

UV reaches your skin through cloud and glass, so daily SPF is a year-round habit, not just a summer one. A lightweight, soothing SPF makes it easy to keep up.
