Why You’ll Love The YSL Pure Shots Airthin UV Defender SPF50+:

• Very high protection against UVA and UVB rays to prevent wrinkles and pigmentation.

What You Need To Know:

The YSL Pure Shots Airthin UV Defender SPF50+ is your everyday ally against external aggressors. Whether it’s UV rays, pollution or dust, this hydrating, liquid sunscreen’s high-level sun protection (SPF 50+/PA++++) will ensure your skin stays protected. The Airthin SPF is made of organic filters: UVB filters (Homosalate, Octocrylene, Octyl salicylate), UVA filters and long filters (Avobenzone, Tinosorb S) and UVA-UVB filters (Mexoryl® XL).

The face sunscreen contains Moroccan lemon peel extract and niacinamide (a form of vitamin B). These ingredients are renowned for their balancing and unifying abilities whilst helping to increase the formula’s breathability. Skin is even and younger-looking while pigmentation and wrinkles are prevented, and skin is defended day after day.

Why It’s Escentual:

What really makes Airthin stand out has to be its weightless texture. We love the way it offers SPF 50+ broad-spectrum protection while still maintaining an incredibly thin, light texture. It’s that weightless you’d be forgiven for forgetting you’d applied any SPF! This is all thanks to YSL’s ‘Airthin’ technology; it’s up to 8x thinner than a classic UV base.

The Best Way To Use It:

Shake the product well before applying it in the morning as the last step in your skincare routine and before your makeup. Pour seven drops of the formula into the palm of your hand. Dab it on the forehead, cheeks, nose, chin and neck before spreading the texture using one hand from one temple to the other. With two hands, spread the formula on your cheeks and nose, working from the centre of the face outwards and then back again. Finish by applying to the chin and neck.
