SPF is one of the most important steps of your daily skincare routine, no matter the time of year.

But in particular, as the days get longer and the sun hopefully starts to make an appearance, it's a great time to take a look at your suncare and restock for the summer months ahead.

If your skin needs an extra boost this season, here are some of our favourite beauty products rich in SPF, available now from McElhinneys.

1. Shiseido Synchro Skin Radiant Lifting Foundation

If you're looking for protection from the sun with added coverage over sunny days this season, check out Synchro Skin Foundation from Shiseido.

This much-loved beauty essential contains SPF 30 - which is higher than you'd typically find in a foundation and means you'll stay protected from UV rays throughout the day while you skin looks glowy and radiant - a win-win!

2. Clarins Oil-In-Mist Sun Care SPF50+

Keep your skin feeling refreshed and protected all summer long with the Clarins Oil-in-Mist which contains SPF 50.

Ideal for travelling abroad this summer to hotter climates, this water-based mist easily blends into the skin for a glowy and natural look, making it great for those sunny days on the go.

3. Clinique For Men SPF 21 Moisturiser

Not forgetting the men out there, we have this hydrating moisturiser from the Clinique For Men range, which contains SPF 21.

Ideal for everyday use but especially for throwing into your luggage to take on holidays, this moisturiser helps keep dryness at bay while also protecting the skin from the sun.

 4. Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Lip Protectant Stick

If there's one brand you can rely on when it comes to helping heal your skin, it's Elizabeth Arden.

The iconic Eight-Hour range is a bestseller for very good reason - it works when it comes to helping nourish and treat the skin.

A top pick when it comes to days spent in the sunshine is the Elizabeth Arden Lip Protectant Stick in the shade Honey, which contains SPF 15 - ideal for an extra boost of protection on your lips when you're out and about this summer.

A compact and portable makeup bag must-have, this sheer lipstick is perfect for on-the-go protection and contains Vitamin E to help soften and smooth the lips.

Remember to protect yourself this season from UV exposure as even when the sun isn't shining, you skin still needs a helping hand!

Here at McElhinneys we have something for everyone whether your going on holidays abroad or enjoying the scenery of Ireland this summer.
