"Epionce Ultra Shield SPF 50 (£31) is the perfect companion for all dark skin types, including the compromised or 'stressed out' skin we commonly see in our clinic," said Dr Saira Vasdev, medical director at Skin & Sanctuary. "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)," she explained. "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."
