This affordable SPF gave a ‘flattering finish’ – and it’s less than £8

It was the best budget buy in my round-up of SPF moisturisers - (Lucy Smith/The Independent)

After what felt like an endless slog of winter weather, spring has slowly starting to show its face. This also means the return of a regimented SPF routine as UV levels rise. If you’re looking to stock up on SPF to protect your skin, I’ve found the best budget SPF moisturiser that won’t break the bank.

If your regular sunscreen feels heavy or sticky on your face, it might be time to switch formulas. Sun protection doesn’t have to feel suffocating and there are lots of brands now offering lightweight, silky textures, and it’s not just high-end labels either. One of my go-to SPF moisturisers is only £7.
