Morning everyone! I have quite a summer appropriate post today as we’re
now finally in June! I can’t speak for everyone but I know SPF is something I
definitely neglect in my skincare routine so I was really grateful to be sent
these Eucerin products and have been testing them out over the last month! I
generally try to get by on whatever SPF is in my foundation or moisturiser of
choice in the morning which really isn’t a lot so I’m feeling like I’m
protecting my skin a lot more with these SPF 30 and 50 products!
We all know sun is important for our general feeling of well bring as
well as the production of Vitamin D but too much sun and exposure to UV rays
can lead to skin damage. UVB rays penetrate into the upper layer of the skin
and cause sunburn while UVA rays penetrate more deeply into the lower layer of
the skin and play a major part in premature skin aging and wrinkling and can
lead to skin cancer. UVA rays can also penetrate through clouds and glass and
just because I’m not sunbathing every day I don’t think I realise how much
damage I may be doing my skin by not using a specific SPF. I spend a bit of
time travelling to and from work in my car each day (squinting in the sun if
I’ve forgotten my sunglasses!) and I feel so much better knowing I have the
added benefits of a high SPF on the face!
This is new to Eucerin’s sun protection range and I love it! It brings
together UVA and UVB protection as well as hyaluronic acid to help retain
moisture and reduce the appearance of existing wrinkles. It’s in a pump
packaging and comes out as a light white cream that feels so hydrating and sinks
in quickly leaving a lovely base for makeup application! It also has a matte
finish and is suitable for sensitive skin! This is my favourite of the three
products I was sent as I love how it feels and my combination skin
has been lapping it up!
This is a very runny yellow liquid that you have to shake well before
use. Again, it’s lightweight and doesn’t feel greasy as well as being water
resistant. Like the Anti-Age fluid I find this to be mattifying on my skin and
works well under my makeup! It is perfume free but I do smell a slight sun
cream scent from it but this isn’t overpowering at all but it is the most
scented out of the three products I have. The only change I would make to this
product would be to put a pump on it too as I sometimes feel like I’m squeezing
out too much! When I do that I just put any excess on the back of my hands as I
feel like they are another area that can be quick to age so all is not lost!
Eucerin Sun CC Cream SPF 50 in Fair* (RRP £18)
This is another new addition to the sun protection range and was a pleasant
surprise to me. While the first two products are skincare items I would
immediately be drawn to in a shop with their mattifying properties, I am firmly
on the high coverage foundation fan page so tend to ignore CC, BB, tinted
moisturisers etc. This CC cream according to Eucerin, “shields skin from
harmful sun rays whilst also providing a fast-absorbing colour pigment that
blends into skin to create a natural matte-looking finish – perfect for the
beach”. Like both products before it
provides both UVA and UVB protection and can be used on its own or as a makeup
base to provide more coverage. I have been testing this out on its own and have
been impressed with how it makes my skin look overall. It has a lovely light
texture and feels like a mousse. It does a good job of evening out my skin and
providing a light colour (I think it only comes in one shade - Fair) although
it doesn’t give much coverage especially to problem areas like my chin where I
still get break outs. This would be perfect if I was on holiday and looking for
a little coverage to help even out my skin tone during the day when I was
popping to the shop or going on a day trip! I like to apply this with my
fingers or a buffing brush and found I need to be careful round my hairline and
eyebrows as it tends to gather here so just be careful to blend well! I don’t
find it as mattifying as the other two products and I get shine round my nose
after a few hours so I do need to keep a check on it! It is suitable for
sensitive skin and unperfumed and I will definitely be giving it a go under my
normal foundations too to see the added coverage and sun protection!
I love Eucerin’s sun protection range and find it suits my skin so well;
all the products are suitable for sensitive skin and are non-comedogenic so
perfect for acne prone skin! I’m not going on holiday this year but it’s so
important to wear SPF even when you are just out and about at home! Don’t
forget to reapply your sun protection frequently if you are sunbathing or swimming
and avoid the midday sun!
See all Eucerin’s sun protection products here and you can buy them
from Boots, Escentual, Look Fantastic, Feel Unique and other major retailers.

ive never tried the brand but im loving the sound of the cc cream! I hate wearing anything too heavy and covering on holiday so this would definitely come in handy!
ReplyDeletePam xo/ Pam Scalfi♥
I wish I was going on holiday because it would be perfect! I just prefer a bit more coverage when I'm at home/work! Xx
DeleteI've never heard of this brand but their products sound great, I always get so excited buying sun cream for an exciting trip!
ReplyDeleteLauren Ashleigh xx
It makes you feel like you're going on holiday doesn't it! These are brilliant! Xx
DeleteOoo, these sound really good and I need to check if I can find them in stores. I wish the CC cream comes in more shades instead of only Fair, we are all not one shade. :-(
ReplyDeleteShireen | Reflection of Sanity
I know, I found it strange that I could only find one shade when I googled it! Hopefully they will expand the shade range! Xx
DeleteThans for visiting my blog.

DeleteI always use an SPF cream in the last couple of years, the sun can be so damaging to our skin. I agree, it is really important to apply not only when on vacation but also when we are out of the house and in winter too.

I know! It's something I never paid attention to until recently but it's so important! Xx
DeleteOne of the reasons I don't really like sun protection products is that they feel heavy and makes my skin so oily, good to know that these aren't that way. I haven't tried any of Eucerin products, I want to check out the mattifying fluid just for the protection and mattifying purpose :)
ReplyDeleteEla BellaWorld
It's so unlike any oily, greasy sun protection I've tried in the past, I love it! Xx
DeleteHooray for SPF & skin care! I haven't tried anything from Eucerin sunscreen range, but these sound great. The CC cream sounds perfect. :]
ReplyDelete// ▲ itsCarmen.com ▲
I'm so impressed! Xx
DeleteAh I love Eucerin! Such a shame the CC/BB cream only comes in one shade. I think it'd be great if they could extend it!
ReplyDeleteBeekeyper - Latest - Becca x Jaclyn Hill Shimmering Skin Perfector
Me too! Love their products! Xx
DeleteI've never heard of this brand before but it's interesting that they have a mattifying product!

DeleteI can so relate to that feeling when you're sitting in the car and the sun is glaring down on you! I can literally feel my face melting ;) I tend to stick to SPF 50, although I still think I've picked up a tan. I normally stick to the Malibu facial sun cream but their spray on body cream is really good and lightweight too, so I've just been applying that on my face for the last few days too :)
ReplyDeleteVelvet Blush
I find the sprays are so much more lightweight that tubes of sun cream! Xx
DeleteSkin protection is sooooo important!! I've been using one from Coolanfor my face lately- it's pretty good!

DeleteI must admit that I have been slacking when it comes to using SPF. I used to be so religious about it and now that's gone. Thanks for reminding me how important it is to use it!

They do! Love French pharmacy brands like this! Xx
DeleteI'm super regimented when it comes to using spf because I have so many acne scars that I don't want to darken. I had no idea that Eucerin also had spf products! I've used a few of their body lotions and found them to be very moisturizing. Thanks for introducing these products to me!
ReplyDeleteMili | Sharmtoaster
I love their body lotion! I have acne scars too and pigmentation so I'm really glad I have these in my routine now as I usually skip SPF in my routine! Xx
DeleteThis line looks really good. I usually use Neutrogena SPF products a lot in the summer!
ReplyDeleteOmnivogues
I haven't tried any Neutrogena before! I'm sure they are lovely too! Xx
DeleteWow, this brand looks cool! I'd love to try their products!!!
