The Game-Changing Sunscreen To Try This Summer

Sunlight and UV rays are significantly responsible for how our skin looks as we age. In fact, photoaging accounts for a whopping 90% of visible changes, with fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, uneven skin texture and a loss of elasticity among them. But, while we can’t stop chronological aging, the damage done to our skin through light exposure is completely preventable. This is where a powerful sunscreen, worn daily and re-applied often, can work wonders. For the best protection, you’ll want a formula with at least a SPF50 broad-spectrum coverage, such as the latest iteration from Noble Panacea. Not only does The Energist Multi-Defense Cream SPF50 protect skin from both UVA rays (which can penetrate deeper into the skin than UVB rays, as well as through glass) and UVB rays, but it also fends off other types of light exposure – namely infrared and blue light emitted by the sun, your phone, your laptop and other devices, plus a whole host of environmental aggressors including pollution and dust.

Many experts agree that when it comes to choosing a sunscreen, mineral-based filters – which are zinc oxide or titanium dioxide particles that sit on the skin’s surface and reflect light away – typically have better coverage and stay put longer than the alternatives, while also boasting a reef-friendly status. Noble Panacea’s The Energist Multi-Defense Cream uses 100% mineral filters to block out light, together with a mix of supercharged antioxidants such as ferulic acid and moringa seeds, to ‘mop up’ any damaging free radicals left over and deliver maximum skin protection. Even better – it actually repairs skin at the same time as it protects it. As vigilant as you may be with your SPF application, a few rays are always going to slip past even the most ironclad UV filter. The Energist Multi-Defense Cream works double-duty to help undo damage by delivering a daily dose of reparative ingredients (including special peptides and spirulina extract) exactly where they’re needed.

Raising the bar on what makes an excellent SPF even better, this sunscreen is the first ever formula to use light-activated technology to amp up its protecting and correcting benefits. This means the active ingredients are ‘turned on’ when exposed to UV light, so the more sun your skin is exposed to, the harder this formula works. Plus, the mullein flower extract actually absorbs and transforms UV rays into light, making your skin look more radiant as a result. The result is next-level skincare and protection, making The Energist Multi-Defense Cream a firm favorite among editors, influencers and beauty addicts.

Use this sunscreen as you would any other SPF cream, either on bare skin or as the last step in your skincare routine. And, as with all Noble Panacea formulas, The Energist Multi-Defense Cream comes packaged as fully recyclable single doses that provide the perfect amount of coverage and are ideal for slipping into a carry-on or beach bag when you’re on vacation. What’s more, the cream formula delivers a solid amount of hydration while still sinking into the skin, making for a non-sticky texture that you’ll want to apply – and it doubles as the perfect makeup base, too. To remove, use Noble Panacea’s Elemental Cleansing Balm And Exfoliating Refiner, which has been specially formulated to remove sunscreen (it’s notoriously hard to purge from pores), and makes for an excellent evening cleansing ritual.
