The Ultimate Guide to Wearing Sunscreen Every Day
If I could only give one beauty tip for the rest of my life, I would without a doubt recommend everyone wear sunscreen every single day, all year round, even when you’re staying inside. Research shows that not only does sunscreen protect against sun damage, it also protects against premature aging, reduces the risk of skin cancer, and promotes overall healthier skin.
With so many innovative new SPF products on the market, there are so many ways to seamlessly integrate sunscreen into your daily skincare routine. If you know me, you know I am obsessed with the brand, Supergoop! (not sponsored), because of their wide array of SPF products that cater to every skin type, activity, age, and routine. I’ve been raving about so many of the brand’s products that I’ve tried over the past few years and am excited to provide an ultimate guide on all things SPF!
Pro tip: Purchase sunscreen products that are broad spectrum SPF, which protects your skin from both UVA and UVB rays. Also, when choosing which number, anything between SPF 30 and SPF 50 is optimal. Any number below 30 will not provide enough protection while any number above 50 (contrary to popular belief) will not provide all-day protection.
If you have oily skin, Supergoop!’s Mattescreen is the face sunscreen for you. A reef-safe 100% mineral sunscreen with broad spectrum SPF 40, Mattescreen helps with shine control and minimizing pores. Peronally, I love to use Mattescreen as a primer underneath my makeup if my skin is feeling especially oily.

If you have dry skin, I recommend the Superscreen Daily Moisturizer. This hydrating moisturizer protects from UVA and UVB rays and can be added into your morning skincare routine seamlessly.

If you have sensitive skin, Zinscreen is the SPF for you. With its super lightweight non-nano zinc oxide formula, Zincscreen was created specifically for sensitive, acne-prone skin. Like all Supergoop! products, Zincscreen goes on effortlessly.

My favorite SPF body product is the Supergoop! PLAY Antioxidant Body Mist SPF 50 with Vitamin C. The citrus scent of this mist is AMAZING. It’s water-resistant and so easy to apply all day long!

Two products that are essential to my everyday makeup routine are Supergoop!’s Unseen Sunscreen and Shimmershade in the shade, Golden Hour. Unseen Sunscreen, the holy grail of face SPF, is an incredible primer that I apply before foundation. Shimmershade is the first eyeshadow with SPF 30 - and it’s absolutely beautiful and more importantly… wearable!
