SPF Is on My Mind – Why I’m Loving Eucerin’s Advanced Sun Care Range

Let’s talk sun protection. I just got back from a blissful holiday (yes, I remembered to pack the SPF!), and while I was soaking up the sun in a responsible, fully protected way, I was reminded of just how important daily sun care really is.

We often associate SPF with beach days and blazing sunshine, but here’s the thing: UV rays don’t take a holiday—not even on cloudy Irish days. And considering that skin cancer is the most common cancer in Ireland, with over 11,000 new cases diagnosed annually, it’s not something we can afford to overlook. The National Cancer Registry of Ireland predicts that number could double by 2040. The real kicker? 9 out of 10 cases are caused by UV exposure—from the sun or sunbeds.

So yes, SPF is officially on my mind.

Enter Eucerin—the dermatological skincare brand that’s been doing sun protection right. I brought their Oil Control Sun Gel-Cream with me on holiday and it was a game changer. No greasy shine, no breakouts, no sticky residue. Just solid, lightweight protection that worked beautifully under makeup and managed to keep me matte in 30-degree heat (a miracle, honestly).
