REVIEW: No7 Anti-Dark Spot Facial Sun Protection

My number one beauty tip would be to always, always.. regardless of the weather, wear sun protection on your face. The sun is the biggest factor when it comes to your skin ageing so sun protection is vital if you want to keep your skin looking young. With my No7 £5 vouchers I thought I'd dabble in their sun protection and it's a good job I did!
This sun screen helps to reduce the signs of sun damage and it contains a patented antioxidant complex and sunfilters that help protect the skin from damaging free radicals. It also has a skin brightening complex which helps to improve the appearance of skin tone and colour whilst also helping to prevent dark spots and hyper-pigmentation which is caused by the sun. Like all Boots own brand sun protection this has a five star UVA protection and No7 also do the same sun protection in factor 30 and 50+. Unlike most sun protections this is very light and absorbs instantly and easily into the skin. It isn't oily, it doesn't break me out and it immediately leaves me skin feeling moisturised. The best thing about this sun screen is that it instantly adds radiance and smooths over my skin. It acts as a great primer and I feel comfortable wearing this out alone. It doesn't add colour and it doesn't provide coverage but it does blur and disguise the appearance of blemishes mildly. I'm absolutely addicted to this and I think that this has become my go-to sun protection for my face. I only picked up the factor 15 because it was all that Boots had in stock at the time and I needed it for my holiday. But next time I buy one (when the next No7 vouchers come out) I'll be picking up a factor 50+ on as my skin is prone to burning.
You can buy this sun cream here for £12.00.
