Oh, and FYI \u2013 prices are accurate and items in stock as of time of publication.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n In my twenties, I applied SPF on holidays and if it was a particularly hot day back home. But when my partner, then in his early 30s, was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma<\/a> and needed surgery to remove it, I knew I needed to wake up and wear the damn sun cream<\/a> every single day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n After trying many<\/em> different products \u2013 lots of which triggered breakouts, some of which dried my skin \u2013 I finally took a punt on Beauty Pie\u2019s Featherlight SPF 50\/Primer hybrid<\/a> (\u00a325, or \u00a315 for members<\/a>). And I haven\u2019t looked back since.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The product<\/a>, made in Switzerland, contains ingredients to \u201chelp fight inflammation and sun damage\u201d. It\u2019s known as a non-comedogenic SPF,<\/a> meaning the lightweight formula shouldn\u2019t clog pores. I can confirm it doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n I\u2019ve also never had sunburn on my face while wearing it,<\/a> so I\u2019m guessing (\/hoping) it\u2019s doing the trick in the sun damage department. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n I tend to apply the SPF<\/a> after Beauty Pie\u2019s triple hyaluronic acid deep moisture miracle cream<\/a> (\u00a345, or \u00a322 for members<\/a>) and the result is lusciously luminous skin that feels silky smooth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The primer<\/a> adds a bit of a glow that no other skincare product seems to offer me and my typically dull skin. It\u2019s not greasy, or streaky. Makeup goes on a treat, too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n There is not a day that goes by when I don\u2019t use it \u2013 even those days when I\u2019m sat at home, makeup free, I make sure that I slather this on my face<\/a> after showering.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n It\u2019s pretty watery \u2013 so be careful when you squeeze the bottle<\/a> \u2013 but it glides onto the skin wonderfully, leaving your face feeling hydrated and glowy. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n There are 3,102 reviews (and counting) on Beauty Pie\u2019s site. Here\u2019s a snippet of what people are saying about the Featherlight SPF:<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cLovely product<\/a>, non greasy and perfect under make up. Thoroughly recommend this product.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cThis was first given to me as a gift a few years ago and I have used it ever since. I golf and have had no sun damage since using this lovely, light cream<\/a>.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cThis is my second purchase of this item. I love that it properly hydrates my skin and most importantly, it doesn\u2019t leave white streaky marks!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cSpent ages looking for a SPF<\/a> that I\u2019m not allergic to and isn\u2019t greasy, this one is perfect.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n If there was only one product I was allowed to take on a desert island, this would be it<\/a> \u2013 not even the Collection eyeliner I\u2019ve been buying and wearing on repeat since the early 2000s could rival it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n And at \u00a315 for a bottle that lasts roughly six months (maybe longer, depending on how liberally you apply it), I\u2019m wondering why you\u2019re still reading this article and not buying a basket full for yourself…<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
