Sunblock
SPF protection that I have tested over and over as these are my actual faves! I consider protection factor, scent, spreadability, and how it makes my skin look and feel.
Perfect for spritzing throughout the day by the pool, beach, etc! Great for oily skin, doesn’t cause breakouts and dries down non oily.
Vacation® Super Spritz | SPF 50 Sunscreen Face Mist
Though not waterproof, I love this for lounging poolside! Keeps my skin protected and moisturized and doesn't pill when using vacation super spritz as a touch up.
DreamBeam SPF 40 PA++++ - Kosas Cosmetics
This spray is moisturizing and smells like a pina colada!
SPF 50 Spray Sunscreen - Florida Glow
Love this mineral milk for instant protection. Smells like cucumbers and gives a dewy glow.
My absolute fave because it feels buttery and doesn’t taste bitter like most lip spf.
SPF50 Lip Oils - Naked Sundays
The scent is amazing and the texture is great, doesn't pill or get sticky.
