#FancyReviews: Image Skincare Moisturizer SPF 32

Rain or shine, SPF is so important ladies. Check out my favourite SPF in this weeks #FancyReviews: Image Skincare Moisturizer SPF 32.

Before I Begin…

Firstly, I want to touch on the importance of wearing SPF everyday. Like most people, I was oblivious to just how vital SPF is to our skincare routine – even when we live in Ireland. I have always been conscious of looking after my skin even from a young age. I have my mother to thank for that! But wearing SPF everyday? In Ireland? No way! I was in this mind frame until I followed Jennifer Rock from The Skin Nerd on social media. This woman will change how you look at skincare forever!

The Importance Of SPF

We think we only need SPF when they sun is out and we are in shorts and t-shirts looking for that sought after tan. Well we are wrong! Our skin has to compete with both UVA and UVB rays on a daily basis and we need protection to prevent this damaging our skin. UVA is the rays that actually penetrates the skin causing aging and wrinkles. We are unfortunately exposed to UVA rays all year around, even if it is raining. It also comes from our computer screens, lights, through windows etc. UVB is the rays that can burn the surface of the skin and can lead to skin cancer. One of the differences between the two is that we are not aware of UVA damaging our skin while we can actually feel and see UVB rays.

Image Skincare Prevention+ Daily Matte Moisturizer 32+ SPF

So onto the review… I picked up this Image Skincare mositurizer from my local Therapie Clinic after a skin consultation. I had been using a separate La Roche Posay SPF after my moisturizer but I hated it. It was way to heavy on my skin and made my oily skin even oilier. No thanks! So I was on the hunt for a moisturizer that had an SPF built in.

What Is The Packaging Like?

As seen in the image above, this cream comes in a white tube with a yellow design and black wording. I like that the packaging is sleek and simple. It tells you clearly what the product is on the front so you are able to quickly pop in store and grab it without getting confused. I don’t know about you but with so many products out there, it gets difficult to even find the one you want.

What Does It Feel Like On The Skin?

As I have oily skin I went for the matte version. This moisturizer also comes in a tinted version, spray and in different factors like 30, 45 and 50. As this is an SPF it isn’t a light cream. It is a little more thick than your normal moisturizer. Therefore, if I put a bit too much on then I find it sits on my skin and feels quite heavy. However, once you apply the correct amount it feels fine. It has a really nice subtle, citrus smell. It just smells so fresh, which I love. I usually apply this last after cleansing, eye cream and serum. As the serum is also slightly thick, I wait a few minutes for everything to soak in before applying any make up.

Fancy Review Score: 9/10

So make sure you look after your skin and include an SPF in your skincare routine. I love this cream because I love the Image brand, who are experts when it comes to skincare. I also love it because it simply works. Although we don’t get too much sunshine in Ireland, when we do I know my skin is protected. So make sure you pick up your SPF ladies. Especially before a Hen Party or wedding. You want to make sure you look amazing right!?
