"Epionce Ultra Shield SPF 50 (£30) is the perfect companion for all dark skin types, including the compromised or "stressed out" skin we commonly see in our clinic. Its highly protective formula is rich in natural antioxidants and fatty acids such as meadowfoam and flax extract, which are key to calming inflammation, restoring a healthy skin barrier, and minimising transepidermal water loss (which is the leading cause of dehydrated skin). It has a super sheer texture that blends beautifully on dark skin, and it's for this reason that I use it at the end of all my facial treatments as it doesn't dampen down that gorgeous glow." — Dr Saira Vasdev, medical director at Skin & Sanctuary
