Tag Archives: SPF In my previous post I wrote about sunscreen and keeping you and your skin safe in the sun so picking it up from there and continuing with a discussion on SPF in makeup and skincare seems only right. A little shorter than my last post but hopefully it will answer some more of your questions. After what seems like an inordinately long wet, windy and generally grey spring, the sun has finally made an appearance and seems to be sticking with us for a bit. There is even rumour of an impending heatwave here in the UK but let’s not count our chickens… With school holidays not that far off […]  I’m not a year round sunscreen user (even on my face), I am most definitely a fair weather gal and so it is usually only between mid/late spring and early autumn I am reaching for a product which contains an SPF.  And so begins the festival season… Powerful-Thinking, the not-for-profit think tank for the events industry estimates that around 23,500 tonnes of waste are produced each year at music festivals in the UK alone! With two thirds of this waste ending up in landfill, many festivals are starting to take action. BB creams started life in 1960s Germany, formulated by dermatologist Dr. Christine Schrammek. Originally designed with soothing and healing properties to protect patients skin following laser surgery, BB creams were introduced to Japan and Korea 1985, where they became highly prized (amongst actresses especially) for their skin perfecting effects.  Working in film and TV, we are often working outdoors for long periods of time and so protecting the skin from sun damage is essential. Although a regular facial SPF can work well enough, a product that has been designed specifically with make-up application in mind is ideal. loading
