“What’s my #1 skincare secret” you ask? Simple babes – I ALWAYS WEAR SPF. Now I love soaking up the beautiful California sun as much as the next girl, but when it comes to protecting my skin I don’t mess around. The sun is the number one aging factor for skin and we’ve got to protect it with SPF (especially in the summer!). That’s why the final step in my morning skincare routine is always sunscreen. And babes, it should be an everyday part of your routine too! Yes, even on cloudy days or when you’re staying indoors. Yes, even if you don’t burn or have a deeper skin tone. You should be applying sunscreen everyday and reapplying throughout the day.
FIND THE SPF THAT’S RIGHT FOR YOU AT SEPHORA
Now I know all the reasons you might hate wearing sunscreen. SPF breaks you out, it leaves a white cast, it doesn’t wear well under or over makeup, it makes your skin look oily… any of these sound familiar? Well, babes I got you! I’ve just added 3 new sunscreens to my arsenal that I love and had to share.
Daily Sunscreen Under $20
Innisfree Daily UV Defense Invisible Broad Spectrum SPF 36 Sunscreen is the perfect everyday sunscreen. At only $16, you’re going to want to keep this one stocked in your beauty cabinet.
Here’s why I love it:
- It wears beautifully under makeup.
- It doesn’t leave a white cast.
- It doesn’t clog pores and works great for my oily skin.
- It has natural ingredients like green tea, cica, and sunflower oil to sooth and hydrate skin.
- And of course, I love the price!
Tinted SPF
You already know how much I love Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen so it’s no surprise that I’m obsessed with Supergoop! Glowscreen Face Sunscreen SPF 40. It’s a tinted SPF and the new sunset shade is the perfect match for my summer glow.
Here’s why I love it:
- It’s great for days I don’t want to wear lots of makeup – it adds the perfect golden glow.
- It’s fun and versatile. Don’t be afraid to use more than 1 color at a time (e.g. apply 1 color as your base and use a 2nd color to highlight)
- It doesn’t leave a white cast.
- It looks great over foundation.
- It doesn’t clog pores and works great for my oily skin.
- It’s hydrating and made with skin loving ingredients like hyaluronic acid and niacinamide.
- It has the Clean at Sephora seal.
SPF for On-The-Go
And the TTL Beauty Award for my Favorite New Product of 2023 goes to…Shiseido Clear Sunscreen Stick SPF 50+🥳🥳. I don’t know what hocus pocus magic they put in this product but my jaw literally dropped to the floor the first time I tried it. If you thought you can’t wear SPF over makeup, think again!
Here’s why I love it:
- It works well over makeup and doesn’t shift my makeup. Even my blush stays in place! Crazy right?!
- It works well under makeup.
- It’s perfect for on-the-go! The stick applicator makes it easy to apply without getting sunscreen on your fingertips.
- It goes on clear and doesn’t leave a white cast.
- It doesn’t clog pores and works great for my oily skin.
- It’s free of parabens, phthalates, oxybenzone, hydroquinone, and sulfates SLS & SLES.

Thanks for sharing. I have tried some sunscreens before and they were very oily. And I didn’t like that on my face. I haven’t tried Sephora but sounds great. I have a sun burn spot on my face from 2 years ago. Been to the dermatologist got cream it didn’t total work. Used it 3 months, faded some but still there. Cream very expensive. Any help you give me for this. Thanks
