Why Sun Protection is a Must

As summer approaches and the sun stays out longer, daily sunscreen is non-negotiable. But did you know that even blue light from screens can negatively affect your skin? While we can’t live in a bubble, making sunblock a habit is key to protecting your skin year-round.

Expert-Recommended Sun Protection for Your Face

Kelly Horton-Beeman, Licensed Esthetician at Faces SkinGym, Recommends:

  • Sunbetter® Tone Smart Sunscreen – Acts as a primer with physical SPF, adjusts to your skin tone, and comes in tinted and non-tinted formulas. It’s oil-free, water-resistant, and 100% mineral.

  • AlumierMD Clear Shield Broad Spectrum SPF 42 – Ideal for acne-prone skin, with Niacinamide and Sodium Hyaluronate to balance oily skin.

@MoisturizedEric (IG Skincare Reviewer) Swears By:

  • Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen – A velvety, non-greasy SPF that blends seamlessly into skin.

  • Supergoop Glow Stick – Great for reapplication throughout the day, with Amazonian oils for a dewy glow.

Editor Maria Von Losch Loves:

  • Aveeno Positively Radiant Sheer Moisturizer SPF 30 – A drugstore pick that’s a moisturizer + SPF in one, perfect for sensitive skin.

Sun Protection for Your Body

  • Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Sol Oil – Provides broad-spectrum SPF with a shimmering finish and a tropical coconut scent.

  • Sun Bum Broad Spectrum SPF 30 – Water-resistant up to 80 minutes, with a vacation-worthy scent.

Sun Protection for Your Hair

Scalp & Hair Specialist Julia Peterson (@JuliaPetersonHair) Recommends:

  • Moroccanoil Protect and Prevent Spray – Shields hair from sun damage and prevents color oxidation while detangling.

  • Sun Bum Scalp & Hair Mist – A lightweight SPF mist that won’t weigh hair down.

  • Coola’s Scalp & Hair Mist Organic Sunscreen – Plant-based, lightweight, and water-resistant for up to 80 minutes, great for color-treated hair.

Final Thoughts: Make SPF a Daily Habit

Sun protection isn’t just for the beach—daily sunscreen is the easiest way to prevent premature aging, hyperpigmentation, and skin damage. With expert-recommended picks for face, body, and hair, staying protected has never been easier.
