I hope everyone is out there enjoying their summer! One important thing to remember when we are out and about at the beach, boating, picnicking, biking, etc. is that we need to reapply our SPF every 2 hours. I’ve had the pleasure of getting to have a little fun in the sun the past few weeks and I’ve been testing out sun protection products to share with all of you. Specifically, I wanted to find some options that would be easy for us to reapply every couple of hours when we are out and on the go. Here are some of my favorites.

scrub me secret: as an esthetician, I definitely approve of ILIA makeup products. ILIA has a mission to provide skin-safe and purposeful formulas for all of their products. I use their super serum tint SPF 40 when I’m wanting a medium coverage tint. This tinted SPF contains skin loving ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and squalane.

scrub me secret: certain spray and mist SPFs were recently recalled due to a carcinogen called benzene being found in the formulas. Through my research I found the COOLA sunscreen spray to be safe. To learn more about the sunscreen recall click here.

scrub me secret: if I’m feeling really extra when reapplying my sun protection I’ll apply this liquid spf, let it dry, and then buff my ILIA mineral powder over it. No sun damage for this skin!

Sun protection is THE MOST important part of skincare. It not only keeps for skin from showing early signs of aging but it also protects us from cancers caused by UV rays.
