Be honest. Is the SPF on your face right now the same application from this morning, put on somewhere around breakfast and never thought about again?
No judgement here. It is the single most common skincare habit to fall off by lunchtime, and one of the few things in your entire routine that is genuinely non negotiable.
Here is the trade. Skip the twelve step routine tonight if you must. Just do these three things instead:
— SPF 30 to 50, every single morning, rain, shine or somewhere in between (this is the Cotswolds after all)
— Reapply every two hours if you are outside, no exceptions for “it is a bit cloudy”
— Ears, neck and hands too. They will out you every time
Comment your honest reapplication track record below. We promise not to tell your skin.
And if the answer is “never”, tag the friend who needs to see this more than you do.
