It’s that time of year where it’s nightmarishly hot throughout the afternoon and torrential pouring rain once the evening hits. Unfortunately we can’t do much to protect ourselves from the rain—apart from staying indoors—but we can definitely be doing a lot more when it comes to sun protection. Whether you’re working indoors or out and about, SPF should never be compromised! Here are some of our favourite SPF options that have been working full-time keeping our skin protected from sun rays.

Infused with 6.7% kale extract, not only does this clever sunscreen shield skin from UVA/UVB rays, but also tirelessly works to hydrate skin, repair tissue and heal damaged skin cells. The Eucalyptus oil in its formula also gives a mild scent and cooling sensation that we very much crave for on especially hot days.
