Beauty editor’s tip
Sunscreen and vitamin C are a dynamic duo that work together to protect skin. For starters, vitamin C can boost your SPF’s efficiency, which means you’re even less likely to experience signs of premature ageing. Sunscreen helps prevent vitamin C from oxidising on the skin, thereby improving its performance.
