Sunscreen is one of those things that your mother has been harassing gently reminding you about for years. And just like sensible shoes and higher thread-count sheets, she is totally right. The huge bummer about sunscreen is that you often times don’t realize just how important it is until some damage – Either major or minor – Has already been done.
It’s preventative – So start early babies, start early!
So what are we going to talk about today? My favorite brands, my picks for different kinds of days, and my routine.
Daily:
I wear it every single day. Moisturizer, eye cream, and sunscreen – That’s my skin care routine each morning. Even for long work days when it’s dark when I leave for the office and dark when I get home.
It doesn’t matter that I’m never in direct sunlight, sunscreen is still a vital part of my daily routine.
But since I’m not out running around in the sun, I choose a slightly less heavy-duty variety. I change products fairly regularly, but go back to some standbys between new trials, so here are some of my favorites:
- Current Love: Josie Maran Argan Daily Moisturizer SPF 47 Protect + Perfect {This is perfect for Winter when you skin is being beaten up on a daily basis!}
- All-Time Favorite: Algenist Sublime Defense Ultra Lightweight UV Defense Fluid SPF 50
- Drugstore Pick: Aveeno Smart Essentials Daily Nourishing Moisturizer SPF 30
Outdoor Days:
When I’m getting sweaty outside I like to amp things up, so here are my picks for running days, long hikes, and hanging outside on warmer weekends.
- Face Favorite: Fresh Sugar Sport Treatment Sunscreen SPF 30
- Body Go-To: Lavanila Sport Luxe Face & Body Cream SPF 30
Vacation:
When I’m on vacay somewhere warm, humid, or tropical, I like to step up my skin care game. Traveling itself is drying and rough on your skin, so I like to give my skin some additional TLC while I’m also protecting it.
- Face Favorite: Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins Mega-Defense Advanced Daily UV Defender Broad Spectrum SPF 45
- Body Go-To: Supergoop! Skin Soothing Mineral Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 40
