I like to think that when I’m 40 I’ll have the soft skin of a baby, wrinkle-free and of the perfect tone. Of course, given I spend a lot of time in the sun this is cause for prevention. As you know, sun damage causes premature aging, wrinkles and pigmentation of the skin – nobody wants that!
One of Invisible Zinc‘s faces, the 40-something and fabulous Elle MacPherson showcases the kind of skin women over the age of 35 dream of. No doubt she was told in her modelling days to slip, slop, slap but no one wants to wear a thick sheet of sunscreen under their foundation – too sticky, too gross.
Luckily, Elle’s employer IZ have come out with Environmental Skin Protector SPF 30+. A sunscreen that feels like a moisturiser, this baby is perfect to slather under your foundation or alone when you head to the beach. Feels like you’re wearing nothing at all.
The sunscreen is hydrating and full of anti-oxidants, plus contains an anti-pollution film to neutralise environmental aggressors. Preventative on all counts? Check.
UVA and UVB protection come in the teeny pump bottle that sits on my desk at work. It’s all very chic, really. Squitz some on just before you head out the door or use it under your makeup to be sure you’re protected from the sun daily.
Perfect. Just like Elle.
