VAT Burn

20% Off Core SPF Brands

For the third year running, we are removing the cost of VAT (that's 20%) on selected SPF brands! We hope the rest of the beauty industry joins us in supporting the VAT Burn campaign so that sunscreen can be recognised as a healthcare essential in the future.

*Whilst VAT is legally required to be charged on all orders, we are discounting core sunscreens that are included in our VAT Burn campaign by 20% until the end of October to cover the cost of VAT.

SPF Awareness At Leeds Marathon 2025 | 365 Days of SPF

We had an incredible time at the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon recently, where we handed out free SPF sunscreen to runners and spectators on a beautifully sunny day. To help everyone stay even more sun-safe, we also gave away free caps, because protecting your skin doesn’t stop at sunscreen!

Why are we taking part in the VAT Burn again?

At Face the Future, we believe sun protection is a necessity, not a luxury and everyone should have access to high-quality SPF without extra costs. That’s why, for the second year running, we’re taking part in the VAT Burn!

We know that essentials like sunscreen can feel like an added expense, but daily SPF is crucial for protecting your skin from premature ageing, sun damage, and long-term health risks. By covering the VAT for you, we’re making it easier to stock up on your sun protection essentials at the best possible price. For a limited time, shop core SPF brands without the extra cost, because looking after your skin should always be affordable.

Why should you use SPF every day?

Wearing sunscreen isn’t just for beach days, it’s a daily necessity. Sun exposure happens year-round, whether it's a bright summer afternoon or a cloudy winter morning.

Here’s why applying SPF should be a non-negotiable part of your routine:

1. Prevents Premature Ageing

The sun’s UV rays break down collagen and elastin, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin.

2. Reduces the Risk of Skin Cancer

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer, and UV radiation is the leading cause.

3. Protects Against Hyperpigmentation

Sun exposure can cause dark spots, uneven skin tone, and melasma. SPF Sunscreen acts as a protective barrier.

4. Prevents Sunburn and Skin Damage

Sunscreen acts as a protective barrier.

5. UV Rays Are Present Year-Round

Even on cloudy days, up to 80% of UV rays penetrate the clouds.

Choosing the Right SPF

"For daily use, we recommend at least SPF 30 with broad-spectrum protection. Opt for lightweight formulas that suit your skin type and reapply every two hours when outdoors. Daily SPF is one of the easiest ways to maintain healthy, glowing skin for years to come! If you would like advice on choosing a sunscreen that is best for your skin, book in for a virtual consultation with one of our skin experts."

Frequently Asked Questions

What does broad spectrum sunscreen mean?

Broad spectrum sunscreens protect against both UVA and UVB rays, helping to reduce the risk of premature ageing as well as sunburn and long-term skin damage.

Can I use sunscreen every day, even when it is cloudy?

Daily SPF is essential regardless of the weather, as UVA rays can penetrate clouds and contribute to skin ageing and damage throughout the year.

How much sunscreen should I apply to my face?

A generous amount is key. Most experts recommend around two finger lengths of product to ensure even, effective protection across the face and neck.

What SPF level is best for daily use?

SPF 30 is considered the minimum for everyday protection, while SPF 50 offers enhanced defence, particularly for sensitive or pigmentation-prone skin.

Will sunscreen clog pores or cause breakouts?

Many modern formulas are designed to be lightweight and non-comedogenic, making them suitable for oily and blemish-prone skin without blocking pores.

What is the difference between mineral and chemical sunscreen?

Mineral SPFs use zinc oxide or titanium dioxide to reflect UV rays, while chemical filters absorb UV light. Both offer effective protection when used correctly.

Can I wear sunscreen under makeup?

Yes, most modern formulas are designed for easy layering and provide a smooth base for makeup application.

How often should I reapply sunscreen?

Sunscreen should be reapplied every two hours, especially if you’ve been sweating, swimming, or wiped your face. It’s essential to maintain your skin's protection throughout the day to avoid UV damage, even on cloudy days.

Is sunscreen important for preventing premature ageing?

Consistent SPF use is one of the most effective ways to help reduce visible signs of ageing, including fine lines, wrinkles and pigmentation.
