Question of the Week: How do you protect your face from the sun? Do you use a moisturizer or foundation with SPF, or do you use a separate sunscreen for facial sun protection?
Answer: All of the above! Depending on my plans (a day poolside calls for a face-centric sunscreen, but on a normal work day I might only use a SPF packed foundation). This summer I have a few cruelty fave SPF products, with our friends at it Cosmetics leading the way! I am a big fan of their CC+ Cream SPF 50+, for it’s smooth, even coverage and maximum sun protection. (I also am loving their Sunshine in a Compact for a faux sun-kissed glow.)
For a day at the beach, I turn to MyChelle Dermaceuticals, who offer cruelty free sun protection products for both face and body. And since I always want a pop of color on my lips, I make sure to pack my LipDrink SPF 15 Lip Balm from Jane Iredale. These hydrating balms keep my lips protected from the sun, add a little color and they smell divine – like sugared lemons!
