Which Lancaster SPF and after-sun is best for me?
Summer might be the time where everyone starts thinking about SPF – but what if we told you that sun protection is something you should consider all year round? Come rain or shine, snow or hail, UV rays can penetrate through and damage our skin, causing a whole host of concerns we’d rather give a wide birth to – like premature ageing, dark spots, sunburn, and in more serious cases, skin cancer.
Enter Lancaster, the savvy suncare brand that seeks to keep your skin safe from top to toe, however the weather is behaving. Not sure which Lancaster SPF and after-sun formulas are best for your skin type? Discover our guide to finding your perfect protection match below…
Best for all skin types
Pretty much all the Lancaster formulas are suitable for all skin types, but there are two we’d say are the most universal. Sun Beauty Face Cream (both SPF50 and SPF30), and Sun Beauty Body Milk are two crowd-pleasing formulas to help keep you protected from top to toe. Both target 100% of the sun spectrum, warding off harmful rays with an ultra-lightweight, non-greasy formula.
Best for sensitive skin
Sensitive skin types, particularly sun sensitive, might struggle to find an SPF that’s equal parts calming, soothing & protecting. We recommend the Sensitive Oil-Free Milky Face Fluid SPF50 or the Sensitive Skin Mineral Face Cream SPF50 for the best protection.
Both are enriched with Full Light Technology to protect from UVA/UVB/Visible Light/Infrared Rays, but the former features a natural-origin Sunsicalm complex to preserve sensitive skin from sun-induced damage, while the latter is formulated with Sweat Control Technology and 100% mineral filters, making it a great option for reactive skin.
Best for after sun & tan maintenance
So you’ve got the tan, but preserving it is a different story. What if we told you Lancaster have made it easier than ever? Apply Golden Tan Maximizer After Sun Lotion or After Sun Oil after a day of tanning to help prolong your golden glow for up to one month – all while calming, repairing and rehydrating sun-exposed skin to help minimise the risk of peeling. Then for the face, we recommend the After Sun Serum, made with hyaluronic acid and natural-origin soy extract to plump skin with hydration and restore its natural glow.
