LIKE TO KNOW IT

By now, we all know that we need to wear SPF every day. Finding a formula that we actually want to use every day, however, isn’t always easy. I’m here to share my top two sunscreens that I genuinely look forward to applying every morning.

The Supergoop Glowscreen SPF 40 is beautiful for a subtle glow! I like that it’s not shimmery, so it doesn’t emphasize texture or blemishes. I have and love both shades. ‘Sunrise’ is a champagne, which I like wearing as an illuminator under makeup. ‘Golden Hour’ is a bronze, which I usually wear on no-makeup days to even out my skin tone. This is a chemical formula, and it includes hyaluronic acid and Vitamin B5 for hydration, niacinamide to reduce texture, and peptides to block blue light. It’s $48 for 1.7 ounces.

The Summer Fridays ShadeDrops SPF 30 Mineral Milk Sunscreen is 100% the best consistency I have ever tried! It’s incredibly lightweight and feels just like a moisturizing serum, so my makeup applies perfectly on top. It blends effortlessly, and it never leaves a white case or irritates my eyes. Vitamin E and squalane help hydrate and protect the skin. This formula is $36 for 1.7 ounces.

Both options would be amazing for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
