Let’s face it – we all love some fun in the sun, but not some of its effects. We’ve all made our fair share of skincare mistakes sins like spending those carefree teen years basking in the summer sun while glistening in a coconut-scented tanning oil…such a blunder, right?
NEW Post: The Best Sunscreens to Wear Under Makeup 2019 (Drugstore to High-End)
With more than 90% of premature skin aging caused by sun’s harmful rays, today’s tan could be tomorrow’s wrinkles, or much worse – skin cancer. I know you’ve heard it all before, but it’s totally worth repeating!
If you’re like most people who spend time outdoors (even for a short time), there’s no leeway when it comes to applying your daily dose of SPF. And yet many of us still make excuses for not using a sunscreen every day, one of the most common one being “My sunscreen feels tacky on my skin and makes it hard to apply makeup”. So, wouldn’t it be great to find a sunscreen that feels elegantly light and wears well under your makeup?
Today I have a roundup of the best sunscreens to wear under makeup which offer the necessary UV protection with a lightweight & non-sticky, silky sheer finish that plays nicely with makeup. And remember, the key to making your makeup play nice with your sunscreen is to wait for your SPF to absorb completely before putting makeup on top of it. Turns out makeup and SPF can be BFFs after all!

Great list. I wear powder after my sunscreen. Some of them don’t really “mesh” with sunscreen. I’ll be bookmarking this list.
