I am a mom of two with combination skin and I burn in about twenty minutes, so sunscreen is the one step I never skip. Over the last few years I have worked through most of the Supergoop lineup and these are the ones I have actually rebought. I noted...
This is the one I hand to anyone who tells me sunscreen makes them break out or look greasy. It goes on like a clear primer, disappears completely, and my makeup sits better over it than over any moisturizer I own. It has zero glow though, so on days...
Unseen Sunscreen SPF 50
I have gone through more tubes of this than anything else in my bathroom. On no makeup days I wear it alone and people ask if I finally slept, which I did not. Worth knowing the shimmer is real shimmer and not a soft filter, and there is a slight tin...
Glowscreen SPF 40
My T zone usually gives up by noon in August and this is the only SPF that has held all day. It blurs my pores enough that I stopped buying primer altogether. It is genuinely matte though, so on my dry winter cheeks it clings to every flake and I hav...
Mineral Mattescreen SPF 40
On school run mornings this replaces foundation, concealer, and sunscreen in one step and nobody has ever guessed. The coverage is light enough that it evens me out without burying my freckles. If you actually need to hide something specific like a b...
Protec(tint) Daily Skin Tint SPF 50
I bought this during a stretch when my skin was reacting to absolutely everything after a peel I should not have done. It is watery, sinks in fast, and gives me none of that stinging around my eyes that most face SPF does. The bottle is small for how...
Every. Single. Face. Watery Lotion SPF 50
I stopped buying a separate moisturizer because of this one. It is rich enough that my face does not feel tight by three in the afternoon, which my usual SPF never managed on its own. It is too heavy for me in summer though, so it sits untouched in t...
Superscreen Hydrating Daily Cream SPF 40
I picked this up for city trips where I am walking around all day but rarely in direct sun. It layers under makeup like a serum rather than sitting on top of my face the way sunscreen usually does. It is SPF 30 and not 50, so for a beach day or a lon...
City Sunscreen Serum SPF 30
Reapplying sunscreen over makeup used to mean redoing my whole face, so I just did not do it. This lives in my bag and I dust it on at lunch without disturbing anything underneath. You have to press it in rather than sweep it or you are getting a fra...
(Re)setting Mineral Powder SPF 35
This lives in my car door and it is the only reason my kids and I actually get reapplied at the playground. You swipe it straight on, no rubbing it in with sandy hands, no bottle to squeeze. It does leave a slight sheen, so if you hate feeling shiny ...
Glow Stick SPF 50
I kept skipping the skin right under my eyes because regular sunscreen stings there, and of course that is exactly where I started seeing lines first. The metal tip is cold in the morning and the slight tint takes the edge off my circles. It is expen...
Bright-Eyed Mineral Eye Cream SPF 40
I thought lip SPF was optional until a dermatologist pointed at my lower lip and asked how much time I spend outside. This one is glossy enough that I wear it as an actual lip gloss and forget it is sunscreen. It is sticky in wind and my hair sticks ...
Lipscreen Shine SPF 40
This is the big bottle that goes in the pool bag every June and is usually empty by August. It holds up through swimming and sweating on my kids better than anything else I have tried, and I do not have to fight them about it. It is a classic white l...
PLAY Everyday Lotion SPF 50
I bought this for the days I am wearing a dress to something and do not want white streaks on my legs or grease marks on the fabric. It goes on clear and dries down fast enough that I can get dressed almost right away. I would not trust it for six ho...
Unseen Sunscreen Body SPF 40
I put this on my legs and shoulders when I want them to look good in photos, and the SPF 50 is almost a bonus. It smells like being on vacation and my skin stays soft for hours afterward. It is still an oil, so be careful getting out of the shower wi...
Glow Oil SPF 50 Body Oil
My younger one goes red and blotchy from chemical sunscreens, so this mineral one is what goes on her face. It is gentle enough that I steal it on days my own skin is angry about something. It does leave a faint white cast, which on her pale face is ...
