With heatwaves set to return this July Image Skincare ask, “Is Your SPF More Than Just a Number?

IMAGE Skincare Ireland encourages consumers to rethink their sun protection routine as temperatures rise, with up to 25% off selected summer skincare essentials.

With forecasters predicting another spell of warm weather across Ireland this July, skincare experts are reminding consumers that SPF is one of the most important steps in any daily skincare routine, even when skies are overcast.

According to Shannon McCreery, National Educator at IMAGE Skincare, many people still choose SPF based only on the number on the bottle, when factors such as the formula, ingredient quality, and broad-spectrum protection are just as important.

“We often think of SPF as something we only reach for on holiday, but UV exposure is one of the biggest contributors to premature skin ageing and pigmentation all year round,” says Shannon McCreery. The best SPF is the one you’ll enjoy wearing every day. Finding a formula that feels comfortable on your skin, suits your skin type and matches your preferred texture or finish can make daily SPF use much easier.

To help consumers protect their skin throughout the summer months, IMAGE Skincare has highlighted four hero products designed for different needs, from everyday facial protection to convenient on-the-go top-ups, with an SPF designed to do more.

For oily or combination skin

DAILY PREVENTION™ Sheer Matte Moisturiser SPF 30 RRP: €63.50 / £56.00

Ideal for those who want a ultra matte finish, this lightweight daily moisturiser delivers broad-spectrum UVA/UVB & antioxidant protection with a shine-controlling matte finish. Its universal tint helps minimise white cast while hydrating the skin, making it perfect for everyday wear or as a makeup base.

For maximum daily protection

DAILY PREVENTION™ Ultra Defense Moisturiser SPF 50 RRP: €63.50 / £56.00

Offering high SPF protection without feeling heavy, this hydra-silk formula defends against UV damage while nourishing the skin with antioxidant-rich ingredients. Lightweight and fast absorbing, it’s ideal for anyone spending more time outdoors during the warmer months.

For easy SPF top-ups throughout the day

DAILY PREVENTION™ Protect & Refresh Mist SPF 30 RRP: €53.50 / £48.00

Reapplying SPF is one of the biggest challenges during summer, especially over makeup. This ultra-fine facial mist makes topping up protection effortless, delivering broad-spectrum SPF while refreshing and hydrating the skin without disturbing makeup.

Perfect for handbags, beach bags and desks alike.

Don’t forget your lips

PREVENTION+® Lip Enhancement SPF 15 RRP: €36 / £31

The lips are one of the most commonly overlooked areas when applying SPF. This nourishing treatment hydrates, softens and visibly smooths lips while helping protect them from UV damage, making it an essential addition to any summer skincare routine.
