Your everyday essential for protected and perfected skin.
ESPA’s Protect & Brighten Daily Skin Shield SPF 50 offers scientifically proven, powerful antioxidant protection against UV, Blue Light, and Pollution. Expertly formulated, this lightweight SPF defends against the visible signs of premature ageing by protecting the skin.
Our Protect & Brighten Skin Shield SPF 50 is a daily essential, helping to protect against photo-ageing, UV-related damage, the appearance of sun spots, uneven skin tone, lines, wrinkles, and more. Powered by effective UVA/UVB filters and potent naturals such as skin-smoothing and hydrating Hyaluronic Acid, age-defying Chinese Butterfly Bush, and skin-defending Beta Carotene.
A protective skincare hybrid, this silky fluid offers a natural glow whilst nourishing the skin. Layer over moisturiser, under makeup as a primer, or on its own for a blurring luminosity. Fast-absorbing for a radiant, dewy, and fresh finish – never greasy or leaving a white cast.
The luxurious formula gently glides over the skin for smooth and comfortable application. Suitable for all skin tones, types, and ages – including sensitive, oily, and blemish-prone skin.
Why Daily SPF?
Sun exposure, UVA/UVB exposure, and pollution all cause UV damage, leading to premature skin ageing and pigmentation across all ages and skin types. Everyone’s skin is exposed to these aggressors, whether you are outside in the sun or inside staring at screens with Blue Light.
