You need to wear SPF during this heatwave

Ireland is experiencing some of the highest temperatures the country has seen this week.

And as wonderful as it is to look out the window and see something other than rain, it is also important to practice sun safety during the heatwave.

Temperatures are expected to hit 27 degrees today, so we're slathering on the SPF in a bid to protect our skin from the sun's harmful rays.

Trying to find an SPF that works for your skin can be difficult, as so many of them are heavy and rich but we have found the one SPF every Irish woman will love.

The IMAGE Ultra Defense Moisturiser SPF 50 features a fast-absorbing, hydra-silk texture that is ideal for daily wear, outdoor activity, or high-protection needs.

The SPF perfectly melts into your skin within minutes and doesn't leave a white cast over your skin.

It also doubles up as a moisturiser, making it a perfect SPF for anyone who suffers from dry skin.

We've been using the Image Ultra Defense Moisturiser SPF 50 for over a year now, and it never fails to protect our skin from the sun.

However, if you have sensitive or post-treatment skin, then the Advanced Smart Blend Mineral Moisturiser SPF 50 is the one for you.

The SPF offers colour-correcting coverage with mineral protection and soothing care, ideal following peels, laser or microneedling.
