There are very few beauty products I repurchase without thinking. Sunscreen is one of them.
Over the years I've tried what feels like hundreds of SPFs—from cult favorites to dermatologist recommendations. These are the ones that became staples. The ones I've emptied, repurchased, and packed into nearly every trip.
What I love about this lineup is that it's not one sunscreen trying to do everything. It's four, each doing one thing really well—daily wear, travel, glow, coverage. Here's the breakdown.
The One That Lives In My Bag: BLOOMEFFECTS Tulipscreen Shield SPF 50
Whether I'm hiking or at the beach, I love having a sunscreen stick that's effortless to reapply. No messy hands, no excuse not to do it.
It's one of those products that makes sun protection feel easy—which means I actually remember to use it.
The Everyday Staple: OSEA Marine Screen SPF 50
My everyday mineral SPF. Finding a mineral sunscreen that blends in sheer on skin isn't always easy, but this one gets it right. It wears beautifully and feels comfortable all day long.
The One That Doubles As A Primer: Ciele Prime & Protect SPF
This has become my favorite sunscreen because it doubles as a beautiful primer. It leaves skin looking healthy, radiant, and a little more dewy. If you prefer something more natural, their original primer has a softer finish.
The One With Coverage:CIELE Tint & Protect SPF 50
A tinted sunscreen that gives medium coverage, feels hydrating on skin, and blends in effortlessly. My go-to when I want a little more coverage. I use shade 03 Light.
I've learned that the best sunscreen isn't necessarily the most expensive or the trendiest—it's the one you'll actually look forward to putting on every morning.
