VAT Burn

20% Off Core SPF Brands

For the second year running, we are removing the cost of VAT (that's 20%) on core SPF brands! We hope the rest of the beauty industry joins us in supporting the VAT Burn campaign so that sunscreen can be recognised as a healthcare essential in the future.

*Whilst VAT is legally required to be charged on all orders, we are discounting core sunscreens that are included in our VAT Burn campaign by 20% until the end of October to cover the cost of VAT.

Why should you use SPF every day?

Wearing sunscreen isn’t just for beach days, it’s a daily necessity. Sun exposure happens year-round, whether it's a bright summer afternoon or a cloudy winter morning.

Here’s why applying SPF should be a non-negotiable part of your routine:

1. Prevents Premature Ageing

The sun’s UV rays break down collagen and elastin, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin.

2. Reduces the Risk of Skin Cancer

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer, and UV radiation is the leading cause.

3. Protects Against Hyperpigmentation

Sun exposure can cause dark spots, uneven skin tone, and melasma. SPF Sunscreen acts as a protective barrier.

4. Prevents Sunburn and Skin Damage

Sunscreen acts as a protective barrier.

5. UV Rays Are Present Year-Round

Even on cloudy days, up to 80% of UV rays penetrate the clouds.

Choosing the Right SPF

"For daily use, we recommend at least SPF 30 with broad-spectrum protection. Opt for lightweight formulas that suit your skin type and reapply every two hours when outdoors. Daily SPF is one of the easiest ways to maintain healthy, glowing skin for years to come! If you would like advice on choosing a sunscreen that is best for your skin, book in for a virtual consultation with one of our skin experts."
