Okay….so we all know that we should be protecting our skin with spf daily….yes daily…all seasons and all weathers. But if we’re really honest not many of us do…do we? It’s ok, you can own up….it’s just you and me. Now, full disclosure I’ve only just made the jump to wearing spf pretty much daily and that’s because spfs are much slicker and sleeker than ever before: there are some really skin enhancing formulas available.
So here goes, I guarantee that you’ll find a formula here that will compliment your skin…whether you want a matte, satin, luminous or highlight effect.
Oh and most importantly, all of these work for all skin tones!
First up is Supergoop Play Everyday Lotion SPF 50 – This has a delightful texture that leaves your skin with a subtle sheen plus it’s waterproof!

Next is Supergoop Glow Stick SPF 50 – This is an extremely portable and easy to use SPF stick – perfect for sun protection on the go, especially for your face, neck, and shoulders! The finish is kind of moist and dewy, so you can actually use it as …well a glow stick.

Lastly is Supergoop Glow Screen SPF 30 – If you love to shimmer and shine then you’ll love this! This has a subtle shimmer and looks great, providing long-lasting radiance plus protection….you can use it as a makeup primer too! This includes hyaluronic acid, ferulic acid and cacao seed extract.
