Protective Sunscreen
Surfing, Swimming, Diving, or time spent looking for shells; these are my favorite sunscreens when I know I will need to be in the sun for a few hours and need extra protection from the harsh UV. Mainly Water Resistant, Mineral and Zinc.Â
Â
One of my favorite sunscreens to wear when I know I am going to be out in the sun all day. Locks in moisture, water resistant, and so easy to apple. I love stick sunscreens <3
Sheer Mineral Sunscreen Stick SPF 50 - Cetaphil | Ulta Beauty

Theres not much suncreen on the market that offers different colors that fit various skin tones and this one does. As a darker skin girly this sunscreen has been a lifesaver for me on heavier, bright, surf days. Made from mud, it is also reef safe!
