Best Sunscreens from Head to Toe
Sunscreen!
The one beauty product you can’t leave your house without. Our skin is the largest organ that we carry, so it needs a lot of love. I have just the sunscreen products to protect you from head to toe. They offer broad-spectrum protection, which means they protect your skin from UVA (ultraviolet A) rays, which cause aging, and UVB (ultraviolet B) rays, which cause burning. Applying quality sunscreens will help to prevent wrinkles, age spots, sunburns, and skin cancers.
TIP: Apply sunscreen 15 minutes before you head out of the house and reapply every two hours, if you’re outside. SPF 30 is effective for about 2 hours, so that reapplication will give you that continued protection your skin needs under the sun.
My skin type: My skin can be sensitive to certain ingredients (I experience rashes or dryness, if certain ingredients are too strong or harsh), and my face is on the oily side.
Here are the Best Sunscreens from Head to Toe!

For the hair - Briogeo Superfoods 3-in-1 Avocado + Kiwi Leave-In Conditioner Spray $25 does three things: it detangles, conditions, and protects your hair from the drying and damaging effects of the sun. Just spray onto damp hair, comb through, and style as you wish. Besides leaving your hair smelling like a bed of tropical fruits, this haircare line is 6-Free, which means it’s free of harsh sulfates, silicones, parabens, phthalates, artificial dyes, and DEA.
For the face - Paula’s Choice Youth-Extending Daily Hydrating Fluid Broad Spectrum SPF 50 $35 is a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer with SPF of 50! It has added skincare benefits to minimize the appearance of pores and help prevent fine lines and wrinkles. It offers antioxidant protection with the ingredients of elderberry, pomegranate, and goji extracts. The oat and green tea extracts relieve any redness, while comforting the skin. This product is ideal for normal, combination, and oily skin types.
For the body - EltaMD UV Lotion Broad Spectrum SPF 30+ $40 is a full body lotion with sunscreen! Sodium hyaluronate keeps the skin hydrated all day, and Vitamin E protects the skin from free radical damage to prevent premature aging. I love that it’s also free of fragrances and parabens, and it won’t clog your pores.
For reapplication on the face - Sun Bum Daily Sunscreen Face Mist Broad Spectrum SPF 30 $18 evenly mists a layer of sunscreen without messing up your makeup! I have used an SPF powder in the past, but the brush would get gloppy from the oils from my skin. Banana, brown algae, and Vitamin E leave the skin nourished.
Keep your skin protected all day! Let me know if you love these, too.
Happy Summer!
