Do you use SPF all year round?

The key to healthy skin that ages gracefully is to look after and protect your skin, as soon as you start a skin care routine.

A proper daily skin care routine consists of cleansing, toning and moisturising.  And if you're especially dedicated you might even use a serum to target key concerns.  But what about protection from the harmful rays of the sun?  Is that in your daily routine?

Now we know all of the excuses for not using sunscreen - it's greasy, it leaves your makeup looking less than perfect, it smells funny.  But...there is simply no excuse good enough to face the New Zealand sun unprotected - whether it be in the height of Summer or on a bright, crisp Winter's day like we've been having of late!  Oh and not only is the sun dangerous as in, you know, skin cancer; its daily UV rays are responsible for 80% of ageing signs formation!

And even better - there are amazing products out there containing good levels of SPF, meaning you don't even need to add an extra step into your skin care routine!

We're going to be putting the L'Oreal Wrinkle Expert Anti-Wrinkle Intensive Cream 45+ SPF20 to the test.  

L'Oréal Paris has created the Wrinkle Expert range to address the anti-wrinkle needs of the skin at every age, with special formulations.   After the age of 45, wrinkles and age spots become more visible as the skin starts to lose firmness. L'Oreal Wrinkle Expert Anti-Wrinkle Intensive Cream 45+ SPF 20 visibly corrects these ageing signs. 

It promises:

  • Skin is smoother, wrinkles appear reduced and fine lines are less visible.
  • Skin looks younger.
  • Week after week, skin feels firmer and more elastic. 
  • Week after week age spots appear reduced and less visible.
  • Skin is protected from further appearance of sun induced dark spots.

We think it sounds amazing, but of course, it's not us doing the reviewing - it's you!

So if you'd like a spot on this trial team, get chatting to us about all things SPF and your forties - are you over 40 and looking for targetted skin care?  Do you regularly use SPF? Why would you like a spot on this trial team?

I used to be a sun bunny, terrible acne in my teens and getting sunburnt help dry it up. 20 plus years later and wish I had looked after my skin more. Now always use moisturizer with spf, would love to try this product

I would love to be part of this trial team. I only recently started taking care of my skin and I can see the damage on my face after not doing so. I go for regular treatments and buy expensive products hoping they'll work well. I'm interested in trying different brands. Absolutely love that there is a spf included!

I'm 49 and doing everything I can to look after my skin. I started 20 years too late, but better late than never. I use 50 spf everyday (combined makeup and moisturiser) and having it in my moisturizer is now a must! And any product that can actually reduce the appearance of age spots amd wrinkles is one I would like to try. My skin is nowhere near as firm as it used to be, so firming it up would definitely be a shot of confidence. I would LOVE a spot on this trial team.

Does an SPF10 in a foundation count? That's as far as I get with an SPF and I know it needs to change. I'm not yet 40 (39 and dragging my heels towards the line!) but my skin thinks it is. In the last year I've noticed more lines forming and living in the sunshine capital (literally) it's time to make some changes.

Yes I'd love to trial this I think sun damage is the most aging and dangerous for skin

20th June, 2022

I would love to try this product please. I wear a sun protector every day.

20th June, 2022

I’m 44 work in air conditioning all day. I use a SPF in summer but not throughout the whole year. I am getting fines lines, particularly around the eye area. My skin is drying out & not as firm as I age. Having moisturiser or makeup with SPF is a bonus for me……..at least I can’t forget it!!!

I'm about to turn 45 this year, I'd love to give this product a trial...it sounds a dream in a tub...the results are amazing it says...well there's only one way to find out...trial it...I'm keen!

Hi, I have always either hidden from the sun or lathered on the sunscreen. I burn relatively easily and as my dad has constant skin cancers to deal with, I understand the value of use of sunscreen, both the protection it provides day to day on top of the long term benefits of using it. I always add it afterwards as find most moisturisers that contain it are too greasy or heavy for my skin. My skin has changed now I am 47, even getting hormonal breakouts. I would be super keen to trial any moisturiser that contains SPF to see if I can find one that is right for me. As it would simplify my morning routine. I also always use a foundation with SPF, when I wear a foundation, but I don’t wear makeup everyday, so it’d be great to find a product that moisturised and protected without the greasiness most have.

I wish I did but I find that it is either the moisturizer or the sunscreen. It just feels like too much on my skin otherwise. I would love to try a great product that does both without the heavy oily feel

19th June, 2022

I have always used face creams with SPF in them as I have quite fair skin, and like this extra protection. As I approach my forties in a few months , I am definitely more mindful of what I put on my face and how I treat my skin.

19th June, 2022

I fight the battle of pigmentation which appeared in my mid 30s, along with fine lines. As a result I SPF daily in the hope I can stop more damage and dark spots on my skin. I'd love to try any product that can help with my age spots - and prevent more from forming!

19th June, 2022

Yes! I have such pale skin! I would love to have it already in my skin care it would take that extra step out of the routine. I find my skin is quite dull and quite dry in the winter months especially.

19th June, 2022

As I'm aging, I definitely need something with SPF, I use sunscreen everyday as it is, but this would be even better. I'd like to see how this would work underneath my makeup.

18th June, 2022

I only buy facial moisturisers with an added SPF, so that I know I’m covered all year round. I’m over 40 and would love to try this to see if it does improve firmness and help to reduce the appearance of dark age spots.
