Andrea Horwood is the founder and creator of Invisible Zinc and an expert in skincare. We asked Andrea to share her tips on how to be sun smart AND beautifully bronzed this summer. You can read our reviews of Invisible Zinc HERE. For stockists please phone: 1300 738 850

What is the difference between SPF 15+ and 30 +?

It refers to the time you can spend in the sun and the time you are protected

If I wear tinted moisturiser with sunscreen, does that mean I'm covered?

No it doesn’t, you are far better to go for a sunscreen that’s tinted as most moisturisers use chemical UV absorbers and may offer little or no protection against deeper penetrating UVA.

Do I need to change my skincare depending on the seasons?

Your skin may be dryer or oilier in different climactic conditions, so yes sometimes you may need a moisturising sunscreen like Invisible Zinc ESP, but whatever the season, we recommend an environmental skin protector – the physical barrier of IZ also protects against environmental aggressors like pollution and smoke, and helps prevent moisture loss.

What extra attention does my skin need for summer?

Protect with a full skin barrier (Physical surface layer protection, not chemical) during the day – every day – paying special attention to exposed areas like face, neck, chest while you’re driving and backs of hands.

By all means try anti-aging treatments at night but it’s pointless if you don’t protect during the day. The cumulative day-to-day exposure adds up to damage, and it’s best not to have any laser or chemical peel treatments in summer as they can increase your skins vulnerability to UV damage.

How can I get a streak free tan?

Fake tan is the only safe tan. Try a natural, translucent mist-on like IZ Jet Set Tan – and look for tanners that contain Eurythrolose as it gives the most believable bronze colour.

Subtle layers added over a couple of days is the best way to streak free natural looking colour. Those old spray on dyes are a no –no, too fake looking and overdone, try a natural colour that’s a shade or two darker than your own skin colour for a believable healthy glow.
