The weather is warm, the sun is shining and it's no longer acceptable to scrimp on sunscreen. While I must reiterate that it's important to slap on the 'screen year round, we all fall off the wagon sometimes during the dark and gloomy winter months. There are so many excuses not to slather on the SPF on a daily basis - it makes me break out, it feels thick and disgusting, it makes me look shiny - the list goes on.
No more excuses people! Today's facial sunscreens are not the thick, yucky formulas of years passed. Since the number one cause of aging is attributed to the sun, if you give a damn about how you'll look in the future read on for my sunscreen hit list.
If you're oily:
You can't beat La Roche-Posay Ultra Light Sunscreen Fluid SPF 60 if you're worried about sunscreens being thick, heavy and greasy. As the name would suggest, this LRP sunscreen is exceptionally light, while packing a serious SPF level. Perfect for use at the beach or everyday under makeup, this is ideal for anyone who thinks they'll never find a sunscreen they won't mind using daily.
If you're acne prone:
DERMAdoctor Ain't Misbehavin actually contains skin clarifying ingredients like Willow Bark, a natural form of salicylic acid and Witch Hazel, a natural astringent. The texture is light, absorbs quickly and leaves skin shine-free with a matte finish. There's even botanicals to soothe red, irritated skin.
If you need moisture and SPF:
Biore Dual Fusion moisturizer is one part nourishing moisture, one part SPF 30 in a dual-chamber pump that preserves the power of each formula but keeping them separate. This really hydrates and protects without feeling greasy and is perfect for daily use.
For touch ups:
Peter Thomas Roth Instant Mineral SPF 45 is an amazing powder sunscreen that really protects without any of the greasy sunscreen side effects. Plus the powder is housed in a built-in brush applicator so it's great to keep in your bag and touch up on the go. Definitely one of my sunscreen staples.
