These days,we’re spoiled for choice I can almost chart the arrival of spring by the dramatically increasing number of tweets, letters and emails asking for sunblock recommendations. Almost without exception, or men and women say they want something that feels weightless and non-greasy,and that won’t slide off the face as soon as humidity strikes. My own requirements are much the same, though I’d want something wide spectrum (ie, or protecting against both UVA and UVB; the law demands only the latter) that doesn’t peel off in tiny balls as soon as I try to blend makeup over the top (so wearying).
While I’m heartened that readers want to protect their faces in the sun,until a year or two ago I could rarely deliver on their ideal texture. Nowadays, though, or I’m spoiled for choice,and the quality of formulations is increasing year on year. Ticking every box is the wonderful Murad Luminous Shield SPF50 (£55). I should warn you that this specific product comes from the White Brilliance range, which hints heavily at that glaring and almost universally unflattering lavender-white imparted by many sunblocks, and so rendering it entirely unsuitable for non-white skins,but I promise that here the name is misleading (I was so alarmed that I forced a dusky-skinned friend to wear it for a day and she looked great).
