Obagi Sun Shield Mineral Broad Spectrum SPF 50

A sheer, mineral-filter daily sunscreen with SPF 50 and broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection, made for everyday wear.

Key benefits

• SPF 50, broad spectrum: Obagi states it provides protection against UVA and UVB rays
• Uses mineral filters (zinc oxide and titanium dioxide) that sit on the surface of the skin
• Obagi also states it offers defence against infrared and high-energy visible light, including blue light. Sun protection is the main job, so think of this as a bonus
• Lightweight, non-comedogenic finish that layers comfortably under makeup
• Listed by Obagi as best for sensitive skin

Who it is for

Suited to normal to oily, normal to dry and combination skin, and to anyone who prefers a mineral-filter sunscreen or has skin that feels sensitive. Obagi advises checking with a doctor before using any sunscreen on children under 6 months.

How to use

Apply liberally to the face and any exposed areas 15 minutes before sun exposure, as the final step of your morning routine after moisturiser. Reapply at least every 2 hours and as needed. Obagi does not state that this product is water resistant, so reapply straight after swimming or sweating. Sunscreen works best alongside shade, protective clothing, a hat and sunglasses, and by avoiding the strongest sun between 10am and 2pm.

Why Dr Mo recommends it

Daily sun protection is one of the most effective habits for keeping skin looking healthy over time. This is an easy-to-wear option that suits many skin types and sits well over the rest of a routine, which makes it simple to use every morning.
