Sunblock Roundup
A skincare staple in my routine that I never fail to use is sunscreen. You ladies know I do a lot to my skin to keep it looking as youthful as possible! I do peels, use retinol and so on so I’m not letting all that go to waste by damaging my skin in the sun! It’s such an important daily step to protect your skin from harmful rays, aging, and not to mention skin cancer! Hot tip: while tinted moisturizer with SPF is great (here’s one I love), it’s usually not enough protection for your face! That’s why I always use SPF as the last step in my skincare routine, before applying makeup AND reapply a powder SPF throughout the day! And when in doubt, especially in the summer, wear a hat!
Here’s a few of my favorite SPF products + what to wear them with all summer long.
XO, Lucy
Elta MD Clear SPF 40: This clear face sunscreen is everything! It’s especially great for sensitive + acne prone skin as it won’t clog your pores like so many sunblocks do. Elta MD’s clear sunscreen is full of so many great ingredients for your skin including vitamin B3, hyaluronic acid, and even lactic acid. Just trust me, it’s so good and worth the hype! I watched like 20 you tube reviews on it before committing. It also comes in this tinted formula that everyone seems to love, haven’t tried that yet though!
Supergoop Invincible Setting Powder: I swear by Supergoop! This Invincible Setting Powder is so lightweight…and 100% mineral + sweat resistant! It’s basically a two in one: it sets your makeup + reduces shine while leaving your skin protected all in one swoop.
HOT TIP: I keep and extra in my cars cupholder to remind me to put on my face and the back of my hands!
Supergoop Sunless Tan: Moving onto body SPF, like I said I love Supergoop! For the body, I love their Healthy Glow Sunless Tan Broad Spectrum SPF 40. This is a sunless tanner with sunscreen! It’s so lightweight and provides the most natural, hydrating glow.
Supergoop Play + Handscreen: Speaking of Supergoop! I also swear by their Play Everyday Lotion - this one has SPF 50 and comes in the best pump bottle so it’s easy to use for the whole family…plus this one can also be used on the face! And omg ladies, their Hand Sunscreen is great too! After all, who wants prematurely aged + at risk hands? Not this gal!
Sun Bum Lip Sunscreen: My lips get super dry and burn easily so I alway use SPF on my lips! I’m super picky about this because I can’t stand that gross taste or anything tacky. I recently discovered these and love! These are lifesavers! The best hydration + protection all in one.
And here’s some fun poolside essentials for your fun in the sun days…
