How to Use
- Use each morning on clean, dry skin.
- Apply 4–5 drops of your selected antioxidant serum to the face, neck and chest.
- Allow the antioxidant serum to absorb.
- Apply your selected SPF50 generously as the final step of your morning skincare routine.
- Reapply sunscreen throughout the day when required, particularly after swimming, sweating or prolonged sun exposure.
Why Pair an Antioxidant with SPF?
Antioxidant serums and sunscreen perform different but complementary roles in a morning skincare routine.
The antioxidant serum helps defend the skin against oxidative stress caused by environmental aggressors, while SPF50 helps protect the skin from UVA and UVB radiation. Used together, they provide a more complete daily defence routine than either step used alone.
