10 Reasons Why You Need SPF

SPF protects your skin from harmful UV rays that causes acceleration in skin ageing, as well as increasing your risk of skin cancer. Here’s 10 reasons why the Lucy Bee SPF 50 Face Serum should be included in your everyday skincare routine.

Fragrance free

With no added essential oils or fragrances, as we know how sensitive some skin types can be to fragrances. Our SPF 50 is perfect for those who try and avoid fragrances in their skincare.

 

Dermatologically tested 

We’ve put our SPF 50 to the test, and it has been dermatologically tested, which means that it's been tested on volunteers under supervision of a dermatologist to check for skin compatibility, safety and potential irritation.

 

Lightweight 

Created to be a lightweight and quick-absorbing, whilst also providing high protection, this SPF 50 works well on all skin types and doesn’t leave your skin feeling sticky or oily after application. It’s the perfect base for your makeup, or just your final step in your skincare routine. 

No white cast

Formulated to sink into the skin with no sticky feeling, our SPF 50 doesn’t leave a white/chalky cast on the skin, it just boosts your skin’s glow.

 

Vegan and Cruelty Free

Our sunscreen is certified Vegan and Cruelty Free and is Made in the UK.

Broad spectrum

With both UVA and UVB protection this SPF 50 has your skin protected and covered from both types of rays which cause premature skin ageing, burning and skin damage. It is important to note that both UVA and UVB can increase risk of skin cancer.

 

SPF 50

Our sunscreen is an SPF 30 and blocks 98% of UVB rays. UVB rays are responsible for causing sunburns. What does SPF 30 mean? It means that you can stay in the sun 50 times the original duration that it would take you to burn. It’s still important to remember that with any SPF you should be applying it every 2 hours, and after swimming, sweating or towelling.  

 

UVA protection

UVA rays penetrate deeper into the skin and are responsible for sun damage, premature skin ageing and wrinkles. UVA ray levels stay the same all year round which is why it’s important to wear a sunscreen with UVA protection in it even during the winter. You’ll find the UVA logo on our SPF 50 which means that it has been tested (ISO 24443:2012 in vitro UVA study) and has enough UVA protection to be able to show the logo proudly on our packaging! 

SPF with Skincare Benefits  

We’ve included a multi-weight complex hyaluronic acid to help support epidermal (outer layer of the skin) hydration. It also helps to improve the skin texture and barrier function by preventing water loss from the skin, helping with the appearance of wrinkles and dehydration lines.

Niacinamide supports the skin barrier and promotes a more even-looking complexion, as well as reducing the appearance of redness. 

Gossypium Herbaceum uses blue light stem cell technology to help protect against environmental stress and blue light exposure.

Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) & Glycerin, helps soothe and condition the skin.

Vitamin E moisturises and provides antioxidant support.
