My Favorite SPF Products 2024

May 9, 2024

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month, and it is the perfect opportunity to share my favorite spf products and to remind everyone about the importance of wearing SPF daily. Now, you might be asking, “Do I really need to use sunscreen every single day?” The answer is a resounding “Yes!” Here’s why: the sun emits harmful UV rays all year round. Even on a cloudy day, up to 80% of these dangerous rays can penetrate your skin, leading to premature aging and raising your risk of skin cancer. That’s no laughing matter considering skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States.

But fear not, there’s a simple solution within reach, and that’s sunscreen. Wearing SPF daily not only protects against skin cancer, but it’s also the best thing you can do to keep your skin looking youthful and healthy. It acts like an invisible shield, blocking harmful ultraviolet rays from penetrating the skin, which prevents premature wrinkling, discoloration, and sagging.

I’m sharing some of my favorite SPF products today to keep you protected from head to toe.

Lips

Don’t forget to protect your lips when out in the sun. This is non-negotiable for me. I keep extras in my car and my backpack so I can reapply all day long.

SPF for the Face

We’ve all been told that part of our anti-aging skincare routine is using SPF on our skin daily, rain or shine. These are some of my tried and true favorites for wearing under makeup on sunny days. These are all mineral sunscreens and are safe for all skin types. For Beekman 1802 products, use code Stacie20 for 20% off.

Foundations and Tinted Moisturizers with SPF

I will tell you that during the dog days of summer I rarely wear full coverage foundation. I prefer to wear cc creams, tinted moisturizers and tinted sunscreen to protect the skin on my face. It Cosmetics CC Cream and Yensa Superfood Foundation have a nice amount of coverage with skincare ingredients in them. The Kosas is newer to me and gives a nice glow to the skin. True Botanicals is also tinted and a clean beauty product that gives enough coverage to keep me feeling confident and protected.

SPF for the Body

The skin on my body is so damaged from years of sun worshipping when I was younger. Unfortunately, we didn’t know better back in the day. Now that we’re educated on this, there’s no excuse. These are two of my favorite spf products for the body. I slather it on my neck and chest because no matter what I do the sun gets me there. I also like to clothing that has UPF  protection in the fabric. If you buy from Cabana Life, use code STACIE15 for 15% off your order. They have some beautiful upf clothing options.

Let’s all pledge to make sunscreen a non-negotiable part of our everyday routine. Your skin is your body’s largest organ, so let’s protect it in the best possible way we can! And remember, SPF isn’t just for the beach or pool. Whether you’re working from home near a sunny window, going for a jog, or simply stepping out for grocery shopping, slather on that SPF.

Remember, sunscreen isn’t just a summer fling, it’s a year-round commitment. And like any commitment, consistency is key. Wear your SPF daily, reapply it every two hours, and live with healthier, happier skin.

Remember this pretty navy strapless dress? I can change up the look in the blink of the eye with my accessories. 

Today I added a lightweight olive color sweater wrap over my shoulders and a neutral cane wristlet. 

I find the little half sweater wrap to be the perfect touch. It adds interest, extra color and a tiny bit of warmth. It comes in dozens of colors and stripes too.

I patiently waited (and stalked) the website and brick and mortar stores until I finally found these cute (and extremely comfortable) suede sandals in my size. 🎉

They’re the perfect pairing with my new Lysse New York outfit! I’m feeling like I should be going somewhere warm and fun now.

Well this pretty dress does that for me!☺️

And yes, it has pockets! To be honest, the only thing I ever put in the pockets are my hands. But when a dress doesn’t have them, I don’t feel as comfortable. Anybody else feel the same?😅

One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack-It Jacket. It’s a great option, especially when I’m on the go! #ad

It has adjustable elastic to cinch in the waist, a hood when I need it in the rain (this hair is a lot of work so I have to protect it)!😅

And the best part is that it can be rolled up into its zipper pouch and tossed it into my bag so I have it when I really need it! It came in handy on my boat ride yesterday!

It comes in several different colors as well as inclusive sizing, so there’s a jacket for everyone! Oh, and it makes a great gift too!

Just comment SHOP and I’ll send the link to your messages or use the link below to shop the Pack-It Jacket from @coldwatercreek 💖
