If there's one thing this pommy girl loves about New Zealand, it's the weather. More specifically, the sun. Long summer days filled with sunshine. And even in Winter there's still a lot of sun. Which kind of caught me out my first Winter here.
See in the UK Winter is grey, dreary and wet. If the sun shines it probably means the world has been knocked off its axis. So when I heard New Zealand had a similar weather pattern to the UK, albeit reversed, I completely forgot about sun protection. Yes I was sunburnt in Winter. A true pom abroad.
Why all this talk about Winter? Well, Summer is on it's way out, which means many people stop using sunscreen. Some rely on 'added SPF' in their daily beauty products like moisturisers or BB creams, but if they skip the product for a day, they're going out without any sun protection at all. And in most products, 'added SPF' is intended to be a booster to regular sunscreen, usually offering no more than a Sun Protection Factor of 15.
Za True White Perfect Protector is a primer with a difference. It's a primer that's primarily a sunscreen - it offers SPF 50+! Meaning not only are you creating the perfect base for your makeup, you're protecting your skin from the damaging effects of UV exposure.
The other benefits of this product include:
- Evens out skin tone and provides the perfect base for foundation.
- Pollutant Protect Powder.
- Oil Control Powder to absorb excess sebum and create a long lasting matte look.
- Triple Vitamin C to prevent freckles and pigmentation.
If you'd like to put your hand up to trial this fabulous product, why not tell us why you think you'd benefit from it. Does your regular primer offer a high SPF? Are you diligent about sun protection all year round or do you stop worrying when summer is over?

This sounds fantastic! My primer is not sunscreen but I always have either a good layer of sunscreen on or use SPF moisturiser or foundation. I had skin cancer at 19 so am a stickler for quality sun protection. SPF50 sounds fantastic. I wonder if they've achieved this without the heavy, greasy sunscreen feel? I would love to give this a try.
