Olivia Dean is renowned for her radiant skin whether she is walking the red carpet or performing on stage. The singer’s luminous complexion has garnered attention, with one specific product being vital for achieving it.
In a recent beauty video with Allure, Olivia revealed that she has simplified her morning skincare routine by eliminating moisturizer altogether and relying solely on a single SPF product.
“Controversially, I’ve been skipping moisturizer and just using SPF,” she disclosed while applying Ultra Violette’s Queen Screen SPF50+. “This one is Ultra Violette SPF50. I think it needs to be SPF50, the sun is really hot… And now we’re protected!”
As an advocate for daily sun protection, I fully support Olivia’s approach. Modern facial sunscreens no longer feel like a mere final layer but rather serve as a dual-purpose skincare and makeup primer.
Ultra Violette has successfully built a loyal following by blending SPF and skincare into a multitasking formula. Their Queen Screen, usually priced at £38 for 50ml but currently discounted to £30.40, stands out for its lightweight, milky-serum texture and unique dewy finish.
This formula provides broad-spectrum SPF50+ defense along with skincare ingredients such as antioxidant-rich kakadu plum for skin illumination and pink algae extract for a firmer, refined look. Advanced UV filters ensure strong protection without leaving a heavy, white residue, as reported by the Mirror.
Olivia is not the only one endorsing this product. The Australian brand has attracted a celebrity following, including Dua Lipa, Rita Ora, Rosamund Pike, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, all known to be dedicated users.
With SPF being an essential component of any skincare routine, Olivia’s time-saving technique may not be as polarizing as she thinks. However, if the price of the product exceeds your budget, consider Garnier’s Vitamin C Daily UV Brightening Fluid Sheer Glow, SPF50+ for £13.99, as an alternative.
