SPF is the do-it-all preventative tool against aging, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and more. But there is a kicker. For sunscreen to do its job properly, you need to wear it religiously. Every. single. day.
Now, for some people, putting on SPF sounds like a boring chore. All that waiting for goop to absorb and stickiness to disappear isn’t exactly appealing. Fortunately, sun protection doesn’t have to suck, and you’ve got tons of options for sunscreen without white cast.
Below, we’ve gathered some tips to make SPF a daily habit, and the best sunscreen skincare for an easy regimen you won’t forget.
Consistency + Repetition = Success
An effective way to make sunscreen-wearing a daily habit is to add it into your morning routine. Repetition will drum in the habit. Try placing your SPF bottle in the bathroom cabinet or next to your facial wash — wherever you’re likely to see it during bleary-eyed mornings.
Don’t have a skincare routine yet? No problem. You can always position your SPF beside your toothbrush or soap. Essentially, keeping your sunscreen close means you’re training your memory and forming good habits.
A sunscreen like Oh My Bod! SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion can be used on your entire body, and it’s not just for the beach. This non-white cast sunscreen is lightweight, fast-absorbing, and feels more like a daily lotion with SPF. You can reach for it before heading out for work, errands, or walking your dog.
Even if you break a sweat (or happen to fall into a pool), rest assured that it’s a water resistant sunscreen (up to 80 minutes) and provides powerful SPF 50. It’s a bodyguard for your skin that you won’t even notice.
Swap out one product for SPF
Do you enjoy elaborate 10-step routines with as many frivolities as possible? Or do you draw the line at cleanser and moisturizer? If the latter sounds like you, don’t worry. You can still add SPF without lengthening your routine. Instead, swap out one product with sunscreen so that you get to do two steps in one.
For starters, Resting Beach Face SPF 30 Sunscreen Serum can take the place of your moisturizer. This multi-use wonder is packed with hyaluronic acid and Pentavitin® — potent moisture boosters that help restore your skin’s suppleness and volume. Because it’s an SPF serum, it’s unbelievably weightless and sinks in faster than you can say ‘ready to go.’
Do you typically wear light make-up or use a tinted moisturizer? Another multi-purpose product you can swap is Rose From Above SPF 35 Sunscreen Base, which doubles as a smoothing primer and tinted mineral sunscreen for face. It leaves a soft, semi-matte finish that also evens out your complexion. Should you want more coverage, you can easily layer with more make-up.
