Sheer physical UV defense

The last step in my morning skincare routine is a great sunblock witg an SPF 50 that is perfect for my delicate skin and has UVA and UVB Protection 
SHEER PHYSICAL UV DEFENSE.

I will however be buying the universal tinted version soon, as this is the only product that needs replacing in the next week. I bought mine in September 2014 and I use it as well as my two daughters and my husband so 50ml has lasted us 5 months which is amazing.

This sunscreen contains Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide to provide superior sun protection which in turn stops sunburn and premature aging.
Shake the bottle well to distribute the active ingredients,  and you can hear like a little marbel in the bottle as well. It has a very runny texture and a tiny amount goes a long long way.
I apply it using my finger tips to my face and neck and then follow up with my make up routine. This product does not absorb per say, but rather spreads to form a thin layer that protects me against the sun for the entire day and is water proof for forty minutes.
It is paraben free and non comedogenic and is THE only sunblock that has not clogged my pores or lead to a massive acne out break. If you use too much though, it doesn't feel good on your face. And a little really goes a long way.

Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide to protect against UVA and UVB rays.

It does not leave a grey white or blue cast to the skin after applying,  and the tinted version gives my skin a healthy glow.  Even during the holidays when I apples another sunscreen to my body for days at the beach, my face did not tan or burn at all where my body has, so in future I will be using a skin ceuticals sunblock for my body as well.

*update.  Since writing this I have bought the universal tint to enhance natural skin tone. It spreads very easily and absorbs very quickly. I really like the way the universal tint looks I hope these three pics do justice to how nicely this sunblock looks in reality. 

This is it just spread around a bit

And this one it is spread out and totally absorbed in.

This sunscreen also provides a really nice base for my foundation.  I find that after applying it I wait a few minutes and then when I apply my foundation it glides on evenly, almost as if I had applied a really good primer. In fact my foundation actually goes on better then as if I had primer.
