In Appreciation of: Ultra Violette's Lean Screen SPF50+
Your dream SPF brings its enviable protection to Liberty’s Beauty Hall of Fame
By: Laura KennedyThe Synopsis
Sunscreen is difficult to get right. It seems that even the best formulations fall short somewhere. They’re too chalky, or too heavy, don’t play well with makeup, or move throughout the day. Enter Ultra Violette Lean Screen SPF50+ Mattifying Zinc Sunscreen, £34. The sunscreen that ticks every last box.
The Rise to Fame
Living mere miles from the surface of the sun (not really, but kind of), Australians understand sunscreen better than everyone else. Australian brand Ultra Violette knows the importance of flawless sun protection, but also of comfort. SPF should work around your life, not the other way around, so this one does.
The Credentials
Ultra Violette makes skin-type-tailored sunscreens that perform flawlessly every time. Ideal for those prone to oiliness, those with reactive skin that often objects to SPF with breakouts, or anyone who likes a traceless facial sunscreen, this mattifying formulation won’t leave skin looking slimy or dehydrated. It offers broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection. Once you try an Ultra Violette sunscreen, you never go back.
The Star Quality
Traditionally, those who like a matte SPF understood that it wasn’t going to work well under makeup or behave reasonably under skincare. Clogging, pilling and dragging were all supporting players in that drama. The lightweight non-sticky texture of this sunscreen can be layered tracelessly over your serum, moisturiser and foundation without ever making a scene. It’s not like the other matte sunscreens.
