Jessica Zbinden-Webster's Top SPF Picks

Our first cover star, Jessica Zbinden-Webster, shares her top picks for SPF as she campaigns to axe the tax on all sunscreen products.

For Jessica, SPF is not just another step in a beauty routine. It is personal, protective and something she believes should be easier for everyone to access. After surviving skin cancer at just 26 years old, she has become a powerful voice in the UK sun safety conversation, using her platform to challenge the way sunscreen is viewed, priced and prioritised.

One question we couldn't help but ask when we had Jessica on set is, What are your go-to sunscreens? From surviving skin cancer at 26 years old to campaigning for sun safety to be taken seriously in the UK, Jessica knows her SPF.

And her edit is exactly what you would hope for: practical, thoughtful and made for real life. Think everyday face fluids, family-friendly sprays, lip protection, holiday heroes and easy reapplication formulas that make wearing SPF feel less like a chore and more like second nature.

Avene Ultra Fluid Invisible SPF50

Why Jessica loves it: "A modern classic from the OG French pharmacy brand. I love this cult sunscreen, which absorbs super quickly and has an invisible finish. Perfect for makeup wearers - and for busy mornings."

Hello Sunday The One For Your Lips SPF50 Lip Balm

Why Jessica loves it: "This is my go-to lip balm. It's formulated with hyaluronic acid and shea butter, which keeps my lips hydrated as well as protected. This one isn't tinted, so it's appropriate for all genders."

Altruist Family Sunspray SPF50

Why Jessica loves it: "Getting sunscreen onto my wriggling toddler can be challenge. That's why Altruist's sunspray is invaluable. Not only does it make the application process more fun for kids, it facilitates one-handed application for parents."

La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVmune 400 Invisible Fluid SPF 50+

Why Jessica loves it: "The crowd pleaser. This sunscreen is ideal for your face and scalp because the texture is so fine. It also has an invisible finish, which always gets props from me. I keep some in my cupboards at home because guests - no matter if they're regular SPF users or not - love this formula."

Beauty of Joseon Rice Sunscreen with Rice Water & Prebiotic Complex SPF50+

Why Jessica loves it: "This viral K-skin sunscreen is absolutely worth the hype. The texture is elegant; it absorbs in an instant, and it doesn't leave any white cast. I also like that it's infused with skin-boosting vitamins - not essential, but a lovely touch."

Sun Bum Original SPF50 Lotion

Why Jessica loves it: "'One for the bloke in your life. Sun Bum is an Aussie brand that pays tribute to surf culture while promoting UV protection. It has a summery, unisex fragrance and laid-back branding that the men in my world approve of."

La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra-Light Body Mist SPF50+

Why Jessica loves it: "The body mist version of the legendary original. This is perfect for quick reapplications, especially when playing sport, because it's feather-light and doesn't cloy. I always pack it on hot-weather holidays to feel refreshed when reapplying."

Avène Intense Protect SPF50+ for Very Sensitive Skin

Why Jessica loves it: "Sunscreens that suit the whole family are a blessing. This failsafe from Avene is gentle enough for babies' skin and refined enough for adults. It offers broad-spectrum protection - including HEV blue light - and never lets us down."

COOLA Body Spray SPF50

Why Jessica loves it: "I used this a lot just after I had my daughter, when I always felt like time was against me. The aerosol spray makes reapplying sunscreen lightning-quick, and it dries with a clear finish. The scent still reminds me of long summer days as a new mum."

Thank You Farmer Sun Project Silky Calming Sun Stick SPF50+ PA++++

Why Jessica loves it: "This pocket-size sun stick is an agile reapplicator for busy days out. Thank You Farmer have nailed the formula, which offers protection without being heavy. Young children love using it to draw on their grown ups' faces, which keeps sun safety education interactive and fun."
