Boots shoppers hail SPF spray that can be applied both under and over makeup

This SPF product available at Boots is being praised by shoppers for working "brilliantly" over and under makeup.

It's the La Roche-Posay Anthelios Sun Protection Face Mist priced at £13.60 for those with an Advantage Card, or £17.00 without.

The face mist provides an SPF of 50, dries immediately and leaves no white marks, meaning you can apply it over makeup, reports Mirror Online.

It can be re-applied throughout the day and has a "mess-free application that does not need rubbing in".

It claims to be suitable for all skin types, including skin that is oily or blemish-prone.

Instructions on the Boots website on how to use state: "Apply 30 minutes before exposure and re-apply frequently and generously every two hours to maintain protection especially after swimming, perspiring or towelling. Shake well before use."

One five-star review said: "Such a lightweight spray, you hardly notice that you're wearing it. Fantastic product, works brilliantly over and under makeup."

A second wrote: "Just perfect. No residue whatsoever. So handy to put on face over makeup. I put on ears and hands too. Lovely subtle smell. Bottle size is perfect for handbag."

However, one customer wasn't as happy. The reviewer said: "The sunscreen goes on easily and gives good coverage and protection however I was not overly fond of the smell and like other reviewers have said I found it a bit sticky on my skin. Not the worst but not my [favourite] either."
