Sunscreen in winter? Yep, SPF moisturiser is essential all year-round | Sali Hughes on beauty


Don’t neglect your skin just because it’s cloudy and grey – your skin needs protection from UV rays whatever the season

Chasing UV rays in order to top up vitamin D levels is as sensible as swigging gin to obtain fluids I see how easy it is to look at a dull, grey day and assume the sun could do no possible harm. But UVA is present in all daylight (even when you’re sitting in a room or car next to a window) and if we find the right SPF product for our lifestyles, skin types and effort levels, there’s no logical reason not to wear one daily. L’Oreal’s brand new Bright Reveal Dark Spot Hydrating Cream SPF50(£29.99) is a pleasure to use and should not be the sole reserve of those with pigmentation problems, since its active pigment-tackling ingredient is niacinamide, from which all of us benefit anyway.
