More, Please: Why You Need All 3 of These Sunscreens A sunscreen for every situation.

A sunscreen for every situation.



We’ve all heard that sunscreen should be an everyday necessity (seriously, it’s the most essential step in your skincare routine!) but sometimes it just doesn’t mesh with our plans. Maybe we’re going makeup-free and a sunscreen could leave a not-so-subtle white cast, or we’re wearing makeup and don’t want to reapply SPF for fear of messing with things. In other words, it can be a hassle to find one sunscreen formula that checks every box every single day.


"
So, our fix: the more the merrier. We all have multiples of some things in our routines — I, for one, own about 15 different nude lip glosses, but they’re all good for different things! So, why not share the love with your sunscreen?"


We’re obsessed with all of these formulas, but just like how you’d wear a different outfit for different events, sometimes you need to switch up your sunscreen! We rounded up three formulas we use throughout the week, depending on the situation, and we’re making the case for why you need all three in your routine, too.

The Daily Essential Sunscreen

Looking for a sunscreen you can wear every day with added skincare benefits? This is the one. A holy-grail type of sunscreen, this lightweight, mineral-based formula feels hydrating and silky, formulated with niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and ginseng root extract. It provides vital UV protection with no chemical SPF filters or white cast. Plus, it melts into the skin without leaving a residue, so it’s the perfect final step to your skincare routine before applying any makeup.

The Invisible Hero Sunscreen

Perfect for bare-faced days and reapplying anywhere, no mirror needed, this invisible sunscreen from Supergoop! goes on totally clear. Formulated with red algae to protect against blue light and infrared radiation, along with UVA/UVB rays, to shield skin from the full spectrum of light and other environmental stressors. It’s an ideal pick for days spent in front of the computer, going to the gym, or throwing in your beach bag.

The All-Day Refresher Sunscreen

You applied your SPF this morning, but now you need a refresh. (Reminder: you should be reapplying every 2 hours!) This spray-on mist gets the job done and then some. Featuring a blend of antioxidants and Indian Jasmine plant stem cells, this mist helps keep you hydrated, refreshed, and protected with broad-spectrum SPF 18. You can even spray it on over your makeup without worrying about compromising your look.
