Meet the next gen sun lotions that go way beyond our current expectations. From creams that harness anti-ageing properties to serums that combat your skin concerns, the recent plethora of intelligent formulas not only protect against UV rays, but visibly enhance and improve your complexion too.
Here are four newbies that will both serve and protect your skin this summer:
Invisibly perfects and protects your skin...This lightweight, invisible formula works as a primer for flawless makeup application and a corrective treatment to hydrate and blur, all while providing SPF 30 protection. Murad Invisiblur Perfecting Shield spf 30, £55 at Murad
Becomes more effective in water...Quite cleverly, Shiseido's new cream becomes even more effective at blocking out UV rays when it gets wet. And if you're prone to uneven application, the shielding veil technology will prevent any unintended burning if you've missed a spot. What's more, it gently hydrates the skin to reduce any dryness. Shiseido Wetforce Expert Sun Aging Protection Cream 50+, £30 at Feel Unique
Prevents signs of ageing...Blending vitamin E, hyaluronic acid and karanja oil, Darphin's Soleil Plaisir leaves skin smooth, hydrated and illuminated. The formula works to prevent skin damage, lines, wrinkles and dark spots - and of course offers SPF 30 protection. Darphin Soleil Plaisir SPF 30, £29 at Feel Unique
Provides coverage...For a dash of beach-side coverage that comes equipped with broad spectrum protection to shield against both UVA and UVB rays, La Roche-Posay is here to save the day. Micro-pigments melt into the skin, adapting to your skin tone and ergo, leaving you with a flawless yet natural looking finish. La Roche Posay Anthelios BB Creme 50+, £16.50 at Look Fantastic
