The best sunscreen is the one you will use.
While I often switch up my skincare routine by rotating products and amping up or eliminating products as the seasons change, sunscreen is the only skincare product I use seven days a week, throughout the year. To learn more about who should wear sunscreen, and how and when to use it, review the American Academy of Dermatology Association’s Sunscreen FAQs. Featured here, are three unique sunscreens that do more than simply protect your skin from the sun.
A High-Coverage Tinted Sunscreen That Doubles as Foundation
Why use a foundation and a sunscreen when you can cover imperfections, add color, and benefit from full sun protection with Suntegrity’s Impeccable Skin sunscreen foundation Infused with peptides and Vitamin C & E, Suntegrity is a SPF 30 CC cream with buildable coverage and blue light protection. Find a perfect color match for your skin (I use the Nude shade) from seven flattering shades. If you are unsure of which shade to choose, you can purchase color samples.
Recommended as a replacement foundation for women seeking more coverage and color than most tinted sunscreens provide.
Protect, Hydrate, and Glow
I loved the illuminating pink tint of Blissoma’s Photonic SPF 30 mineral sunscreen. I loved it even more when I learned that the pink tint that made my skin glow comes from astaxanthin, an antioxidant-rich algae extract. Algae has always been exceptionally nurturing and kind to my sensitive skin. This sensitive-skin formula also includes skin-loving niacinamide and can be applied alone or after using a moisturizer if your skin type is dry. When I want my skin to look especially radiant, I apply Photonic over a tinted matte sunscreen to create a glowing, polished finish.
Recommended for acne-prone or sensitive skin and for those who are seeking a a lightweight, clean sunscreen with a radiant sheer tint.
On-the-Go Glow: Dr. Althea’s Travel-Friendly Sunscreen
I love Aqua Glowing Sunscreen’s compact, cute packaging and the skin-restoring Bambusa Vulgaris, niacinamide, and Caulerpa Lentillifera Extract ingredients contained inside. I tuck Aqua Glowing Sunscreen into my handbag to use for sunscreen touchups when I am on-the-go. It sells out fast, so it’s best stock up when it is available.
This is a great choice if you are seeking a lightweight, quickly-absorbing chemical sunscreen that can travel with you.
