I’m not sure if it was turning 30 or moving Down Under that made me (finally) start to take my skincare more seriously. We’re all taught about the health dangers and aging effects of the sun from an early age but that doesn’t necessarily mean we take an active approach to dealing with it. I’m the first to admit I can be a little lazy when it comes to these things; the idea of adding extra products into my daily routine was never appealing. Until I found the right products, that is.
Ultrasun Face SPF 30
Step forward Ultrasun Face SPF 30. Unlike other sun protection I’ve tried this cream absorbs into the skin easily, without leaving any white streaks or smears for you to swipe away. It’s non-greasy and non-gloopy (let’s pretend that’s an official term) and has quickly become a part of my daily routine.
For this little hassle I have maximum protection. Ultrasun Face 30SPF delivers all day protection (offering UVB protection and meeting the Australian Standard of UVA 98%) and contains anti-aging ingredients too. In short it’s the crème de la crème of face protection.
Ultrasun Glimmer SPF 20
The other Ultrasun product I swear by is their Glimmer SPF 20. This product is also easy to apply and it comes with the added bonus of a little golden shimmer that looks great when transitioning from beach to bar. (I wore it during our picnic in the Botanical Gardens on New Year’s Eve in Sydney and everyone wanted to know where I got my shimmer – little did they know it was my sunscreen!)
With just one application Glimmer 20SPF provides all day protection and, as it’s free from preservatives, emulsifiers and perfume, it’s ideal for sensitive skin. All Ultrasun products have a shelf life of 2 years (compared to 6 months average for sun cream) so I’ll be using my Glimmer during several special events and trips over the coming months.

March 2, 2015 at 12:13 pmThanks for the intro to Ultrasun, Jayne. I’m just getting to the stage where I really wish I took better care of my skin 10 years ago and wore SPF!
I’d like to win so I can hopefully find a product that protects my skin without making me look and feel greasy and shiny. I’m also in need of those anti-ageing products!

I would love to win. I’m serious about my sun protection. After working previously in Dermatology for six years I have no desire to end up with skin cancer.
Also, my friends and family look to me for skin care recommendations and I would like to give them a new option!
