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?

Putting on sunscreen is like a chore and I keep forgetting to do so. I do try to take care of my skin but Im not very good at that. I do love the idea of having moisturizer with high SPF, that way it would cut down one most important step that I almost always skip, protecting my skin from the sun. I would love to give this a try and hopefully, I can make it a routine out of it.

Not quite over 40 but it’s just around the corner. My skin is ageing and I never remember spf in winter. I’m doing my best to avoid cosmetic procedures for my wrinkles and always on the lookout for products that will postpone the inevitable!! This would be a triple threat product - I’d love to trial it!

I’m not over 40 but I have hyperpigmentation on my face so need a bit of spf on the ol face to avoid that darkening any faster but also something I can use with makeup,have a scar right in the middle of my eyes and especially if I’m a little dehydrated it’s a lot more prominent,be good to see if it really does live up to providing more elasticity

Finally a wrinkle cream for older skin but with SPF!!! I was one of the many that never used to wear SPF in my youth as I "tanned easily" Now I'm paying the price with lines and sun damage. Being a teacher the kids ain't kind as they're soo honest!

Great to see a wrinkle cream with SPF. I have been making a bigger enough to ensure I wear SPF all year round but it is easier if I don't have to apply separately. Would be great to trial a product that does anti-aging and sun protection in one.

I always prefer to use an spf in my daycream or foundation, it certainly protects me more when I'm out and about. I'm well over forty now and I'm sure it's really helped my skin as far as sun damage and aging goes. I'd love to try the new wrinkle expert creme, as I'm definitely noticing more wrinkles and fine lines these days...a few little age spots are starting to appear too.

I have very fair skin, and therefore, I'm always looking for products with SPF in them. I love moisturisers that have the convenience of SPF in them, and will purchase these over ones without. I'm now well over 40, and I'm sure this has helped slow the aging process of my skin. I wish I'd paid as much attention to my hands, though!

I try to but I need one decent go to cream and I haven’t found that one yet. Hopefully this it!

I would love to be a part of this trial - I do use a moisturiser with SPF everyday, but would like something suited to menopausal skin changes that will help keep the wrinkles away

16th June, 2022

Would love to try, would be great!

16th June, 2022

I always wear a dedicated sunscreen all year round. I’m definitely over 45 so fit the brief!

16th June, 2022

Would love to be part of this. I'm 45 and now in need of a good antu wrinkle skin cream. Being outside a lot for work my skin gets all sorts of weather so this would be great to try.

16th June, 2022

Always wear a sunscreen but unless I’m out in the direct sun for a decent length of time I just rely on what’s in my daily moisturiser. I’m on the lookout for a newby so would be super keen to try this. Anything that helps wrinkles in the process is a plus!!!

I’m 41 and it’s only been in the past few years that I’ve seen the damage done by the sun . I would love to try this as I’m interested to see the effects peptides would have on my skin.

16th June, 2022

I have worked outside for most of my life and on the water so my skin has its fair share of sun damage and sun spots. Add in aging (47 years young!) and my skin needs as much help to smooth out fine lines and improve its elasticity. I love L'Oreal products so would love to try this one, please!
