The weather has been so nice for the past several weeks, that we’ve spent every weekend outside, by the pool. Feels a little as if we’ve skipped spring and headed right into summer, but temps will be cooling this week for a few days, so it’s back to pants and long-sleeves over here.
To be honest, I’m slightly embarrassed as to how negligent I was regarding sunscreen application in my 20’s…. I mean, I’d literally lay out in the sun without sunscreen. I literally cringe at the thought of that now (and all the damage I was doing to my skin…). So given my lackadaisical approach to sunscreen in my naive years, I’ve stocked us up with all of our go-to sunscreens and after sun care so that we’re always prepared, and protected, for a spontaneous pool or beach day. Nordstrom is a go-to for all things beauty, and they have an excellent selection of my favorite sun skincare products and I wanted to share them with you here today since skin protection from the sun is so important (despite what my 20 year old self might say…)!
Supergoop Play Body Mist Sunscreen: We started using Supergoop last summer and I quickly became a huge fan… a non-toxic skincare that works is always a win in my book. This particular sunscreen is non-aerosol and water-resistant.
Supergoop Glow Stick SPF 50 Sunscreen: I quickly became a fan of this sunscreen glow stick at the beginning of last season. It’s basically a dry oil sunscreen stick for the face, shoulders, and neck that leaves my skin protected and hydrated without an oily residue. It also leaves a really nice glow.
Supergoop Sunny Sunscreen Face + Body for Kiddos: I love this sunscreen for the girls because it stays water resistant for up to 80 minutes… and those girls can stay in the water for that long so it’s reassuring to know that I don’t need to pull them out every hour to reapply. It’s also non-toxic which has always been important for me when thinking about what I’m putting on their bodies.
Herbivore After Sun Mist: For days that we’ve been in the sun for a really long time, I love spritzing my skin with this after sun mist. It’s a super hydrating and soothing aloe water, combined with mint and lavender oils to bring moisture to the skin. I keep it in the refrigerator for an extra cooling punch.
Necessaire The Body Serum: I always consider the Necessaire body serum am mega boost of hydration, which is always what my skin needs after being in the sun. I apply this all over my body, post shower, and then follow it up with the Necessaire body lotion. I’ve found this combo to really hydrate sun drenched skin.
Alo Radiance Serum: This is a new to me product that I just started incorporating about a week or so ago. It’s a super serum, that uses vitamin C rich amla superberry to brighten skin complexion and reduce fine lines. I’ve really been liking it so far!
Those are our go-to products right now, but as the season continues on I’m sure we will discover new ones and I’ll be sure to share! Hope you all have a great day.
