Daily moisturiser is a must in order to retain moisture and provide
a physical barrier against environmental pollutants. It’s a good

dry, oily, sensitive, pigmented or ageing.

soft and comfortable all day long.

Sunscreens
In a climate like ours, it’s nothing short of
reckless to leave the house without putting
on a broad-spectrum sunblock, which needs
to be reapplied if you are spending time in
the sun later in the day. Find a sunblock
that doesn’t irritate your skin and wear it
every day on top of your moisturiser and
underneath your makeup.
Many Australian skin professionals
now recommend physical sunscreens
(also referred to as ‘inorganic’ sunscreens)
over chemical sunscreens. It is a natural
mineral that sits on the skin’s surface,
physically blocking the penetration of both
UVA and UVB rays by UV absorption
and refl ection. “The typical zinc ‘white
nose’ cream has come a long way,” says
Terri Vinson, formulator and founder of
Synergie Skin. “Zinc oxide sunscreen is
now micronised and is virtually invisible on
the skin. Zinc oxide is also preferred as it is
anti-infl ammatory and non-allergenic – so
it is highly recommended for acne-prone,
irritated or sensitive skin.”
1. MESOESTETIC Dermatological Sun
Protection SPF 50+, $69. Lightweight,
oil-free, broad-spectrum sunscreen can be
used for all skin types for daily use and is
ideal to apply after in clinic treatments.
2. SYNERGIE Uberzinc, $110. Made with
20% zinc oxide that screens UVA/UVB rays
for natural skin protection, antioxidant pure
green tea extract makes for an easy-toapply
and hydrating skincare staple.
3. ESSANO Rosehip Pure Defence
Moisturiser SPF15, $19.99. Enriched with a
new-generation mineral SPF protection,

nourishes and protects skin.
