2025 is certainly the year of the new superlight SPF skincare products, and I have really been enjoying this one. Here’s the lowdown on the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour HydraPlay Daily Defense Nourishing Fluid SPF 40.
How to use it
You need to shake this up well and apply 3 fingers of product to the face and neck. If this seems like a lot, apply it in stages. In sinks in really nicely so you shouldn’t have any issues.
You can also apply this over makeup, which I haven’t yet tried as I tend to like a mist for this. Read, Kopari Sunglaze Sheer Setting Mist Sunscreen SPF 50 Review for one of my fave mists.
For reapplication over makeup, Elizabeth Arden suggest using a sponge to lightly blot it on to the skin. However, I can’t see how you’d make sure you are applying the correct amount using this method, so I personally wouldn’t follow that advice.
