Summer is officially just days away and that means it’s time to stock up on sunscreen and SPF-infused beauty products! Protecting your skin from the sun is not only one of the best ways to prevent aging but is also the best defense against cancer and skin damage. With that being said, I have rounded up a list of 5 must-have SPF beauty products for Summer 2018!
The Products
1. Vertere Dramatic Transformation Cream SPF 18 ($135)
The first must-have SPF infused beauty product on the list is the Vertere Dramatic Transformation Cream SPF 18. This cream is actually 5 products in one – a moisturizer, wrinkle smoother, imperfection minimizer, dark spot brightener and sun protector. The patented, high-performance formula contains more than 60% of clinically active ingredients including: lactic acid, salicylic acid, Alpha Arbutin, multiple peptides, antioxidants, vitamins and botanicals. To use, apply a dime-size amount to forehead, nose, and the tops of cheeks, chin, and neck and blend thoroughly with fingertips. I use this cream both morning and night, and started noticing an improvement in my skin’s overall texture in just 10 days. Buy at VERTERESKINCARE.
2. La Bella Donna LBD-WOMEN SPF 50 ($65)
One of my newly favorite sun-protection beauty products is the La Bella Donna LBD-WOMEN SPF 50. This all-natural, pure mineral translucent sun protection intercepts ultraviolet rays while allowing just the right amount of light needed for healthy development of skin to pass through the visible ray region. Free of dyes, oils, fragrances, and other chemicals, this sun protection can be used on allergy/rash-prone skin, eczema, and sensitive skin. Available in three shades: Fair, Medium & Dark. Buy at LABELLADONNA (*USE CODE “BLUSH4LBD” FOR 10% OFF YOUR PURCHASE*) or DERMSTORE.
3. Australian Gold Mineral Lotion Non-Greasy SPF 30 ($14.99)
My favorite everyday sunscreen is hands down the Australian Gold Mineral Lotion Non-Greasy SPF 30. This non-chemical sunscreen lotion is rich in vitamins and antioxidants derived from native Australian botanical ingredients, delivering protection with a powdery-clean feel. So many sunscreens leave skin feeling greasy and sticky, so I especially love that this sunscreen is able to absorb into skin without those unpleasant conditions. This lotion is also lightly scented with a refreshing citrus oasis essence. Buy at ULTA or WALGREENS.
4. La Roche-Posay Anthelios 60 Sport Lotion Sunscreen ($29.99)
If you’re like me and spend a lot of time outdoors but aren’t a fan of the humidity, then you need the La Roche-Posay Anthelios 60 Sport Lotion Sunscreen. Ideal for anyone who spends time outdoors and exposed to heat and humidity, this body and face sunscreen helps to absorb moisture and provide a dry, lotion texture. Formulated with Cell-Ox Shield, Antioxidants, and Vitamin E, this sunscreen also helps to neutralize free radicals and deliver broad-spectrum protection. Buy at ULTA, DERMSTORE or WALGREENS.
5. PCA Skin Protecting Hydrator SPF 30 ($36)
PCA Skin has always been a favorite brand of mine, so it was no surprise I fell in love with their Protecting Hydrator SPF 30. Formulated with panthenol and vitamin E, this SPF-infused hydrator provides broad-spectrum protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays in addition to nourishing skin with lightweight moisture for a smooth, matte finish. Some of the other active ingredients include Titanium Dioxide, Aloe Vera, and Vitamin C. This hydrator is suitable for dry skin, combination skin normal skin, and sensitive skin. Buy at DERMSTORE or SKINCARERX.
