We are on safe ground with this product – it’s an SPF50 for the face (hands and neck too) in a serum like formula that works in beautifully. It’s not quite the gel-serum consistency of Malin + Goetz – a little bit thicker and a slightly more effort but we really are splitting hairs. What I like about Saltee is that it has plenty of complexion loving ingredients so you don’t really need to pile moisturiser on top – black ginger extract to counteract photo-damage, Nordic pine bark works on pigmentation, and there’s panthenol for hydration (also glycerin). It also contains a ferment that again, is indicated for photo-damage. So, all in all, it’s about as protective from photo-ageing as any SPF could possibly be.
Personally, City Serum feels like the right choice for no-make up days (thank you Tan Luxe!) where you feel your sun exposure might be more than usual (i.e. not just sitting at your desk) rather than for layering with foundation but of course, you can do that if you prefer. Just make sure you leave it a minute or two before adding base so it can settle and be generous with the amount It contains fragrance. It’s £38 HERE.
