Make the most out of your makeup base! In this article, we list some of our top-rated foundations with sunscreen
If you frequent your local beauty store, you may have noticed the influx of sunscreen-infused products; this can be attributed to several factors including increased awareness about sun protection, medical recommendations, and advertising campaigns that highlight the contribution of sunscreens as essential for maintaining youthful skin and protecting against sun-related damages.
Today, even makeup companies include SPF (Sun Protection Factor) in their items including foundations, BB creams, tinted moisturisers, and powders. This is primarily done to meet the increasing demand for multi-functional cosmetics that both offer coverage and protection.

What is SPF?
SPF is a measure used to indicate the level of protection a sunscreen provides against the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. SPF numbers are typically seen on sunscreen labels and range from 15 to 100 or higher. This represents the degree to which the sunscreen can extend the time it takes before your skin starts to burn.
