We will repeat ourselves till this is completely drilled into all of our collective minds – SPF is not just for sunny days or going out in the sun. While we all apply sunscreen, this UV protection month we’ve gathered a base-to-lip routine with all products that have some sun protection. This routine in no way means that you can SKIP sunscreen – but it will help supplement the protective layer. Shall we?
1. Dewytree Urban Shade Cover & Fit Sun Cushion SPF 50+ PA++++
When it comes to foundation, I’m always on the hunt for something that offers coverage and skin benefits. The Dewy Tree Urban Shade Cover Fit SPF 50+ hits the mark perfectly. This foundation gives my skin a flawless finish while ensuring it’s protected from harmful UV rays. I love how its lightweight formula blends effortlessly, leaving a natural, dewy look that lasts all day.

Blush is my favourite part of the makeup routine, and the Nudestix Nudescreen Blush Tint with SPF 30 has become my go-to.
