Day Moisturisers

The last step of your skincare routine

A day cream with at least an SPF 30 is always the last step of your daytime skincare routine. Apply a generous amount after cleansing, toning and exfoliating (and possibly a serum, booster or treatment) and before applying any make-up. This will keep your skin well protected against harmful UV rays throughout the day. Planning to hit the gym or go for a swim? It won't hurt to reapply during the day.

Choose a day cream with SPF that matches your skin type

All Paula's Choice SPF products are light in texture and non-greasy. They don't leave a white cast on your skin, as other sunscreen products sometimes do. As a general rule, all products work best when they suit your skin type, so keep this in mind when choosing a day cream.

Synthetic sun filters
Do you have oily to combination skin and and suffer from breakouts? Then we recommend a synthetic sunscreen. Synthetic sunscreens absorb the UV radiation in your skin and work best once absorbed into your skin. Apply approximately fifteen minutes before you go outside.

Mineral sun filters
Do you have sensitive skin? Then we recommend a mineral sunscreen. Mineral sun filters use neatural, active mineral ingredients. They reflect UV radiation and work immediately after application to the skin, so you can go outside straight away.

Synthetic and mineral sun filters both have unique advantages. The performance of both is equally good and they are both equally safe.
