Summertime, Getting SPF’s Easy
With summer slowly approaching, our minds are drifting off to white sandy beaches and teeny tiny bikinis. But before we let our minds wander, we wonder just what all that sun exposure is doing to our skin.
Sun exposure gives us glowing, beautiful skin in the moment, but it’s also the cause of many serious downsides, such as wrinkles, discoloration, and skin cancer. The sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays cause damage to the elastin in our skin, causing the skin fibers to break down, sag, and stretch. Since healthy skin is definitely one of the best accessories you can carry, we’ve compiled a list of the best skincare and cosmetic products that contain sunscreen, which will help protect your skin from harmful UV rays whether you’re running around the city or relaxing on the beach!
Supergoop!
If SPF protection is something you regularly look out for in products, you’re no stranger to Supergoop whose name is synonymous with sunscreen, since every one of their products provides SPF protection. Start with Supergoop Daily Correct CC Cream, providing 35 SPF protection from its mineral cream formulated to protect from hyper-pigmentation and photoaging. Next, reach for Supergoop’s Invincible Setting Powder, containing 45 SPF and coming in a range of tints. Sweat resistant, this powder reduces shine and leaves your face with a dewey matte look without dying out your skin. The brush is also easy to clean as it pops out of the base. Set your products with the beautiful Supergoop x Milly collaborated bottle of Defense Refresh Setting Mist, with 50 SPF, making reapplying SPF easy while it controls oil and supplies the skin with antioxidant-rich rosemary and mint. Saving your lips for last, pat some Supergoop Perk Up! Lip and Cheek Tint to your pout, offering 40 SPF, and you’re set to take on the world! Or at least the Sun.

AMOREPACIFIC
If the term cushion makes you think of a relaxing pool chair, you haven’t tried AMOREPACIFIC’s cushion compacts. Each one fortified with SPF protection, they all provide light coverage with skin-perfecting elements.

Lastly, if you simply want a compact offering sun protection and glowing skin, reach for the Resort Collection Sun Protection Cushion compact, which delivers 30 SPF protection and leaves skin glowing over its soft yet hydrating formula.

Protection of both UVA and UVB rays protects the skin from not just sunburns but also aging affects. Both products are formulated without parabens, sulfates, or phthalates; so our skin will thank us.
COOLA
COOLA offers several products containing SPF protection, such as their Dawn Patrol Classic Primer with 30 SPF. You will question whether there is actual silk in this formula once you feel how smooth and light it feels on your skin. You can use this product as a primer or on its own, and it provides 40 minutes of water resistance! COOLA’s Rosilliance BB+ Cream Golden, formulated with 30 SPF works as beautiful as it’s packaging.
