NEW @peachandlily Sun Cover Mineral Sunscreen SPF

NEW @peachandlily Sun Cover Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30

Inspired by world-renowned Korean SPFs, it’s an elegantly textured face sunscreen that uses 100% mineral sun filters (without any hidden chemical SPF boosters like butocyl salicylate)

Key Ingredients

🌟Zinc Oxide 15.98%

🌟Oxidative Defense Complex™
A proprietary blend of 10+ antioxidant-rich ingredients that defends against environmental damage, reduces visible signs of inflammation and premature photoaging for more radiant skin over time.

🌟Nourishing Barrier Support
Ceramides, squalane, niacinamide and panthenol visibly soothe, hydrate and brighten.

🌟Astaxanthin & CoQ10
Support the skin barrier and visibly revitalize skin.

🌟Korean Artemisia & pine bark
Visibly calm and restore skin.

I love the silky, lightweight texture of this sunscreen that spreads easily, absorbs quickly and feels hydrating. It dries down to a smooth, satin finish that looks natural and there’s absolutely NO white cast.

This sunscreen is perfect on its own for no-makeup days but it also layers beautifully under makeup without pilling. It leaves behind a smooth, hydrated base—prepping skin like a primer while still feeling breathable and not at all greasy or sticky.

Also, the formula is non-comedogenic, fragrance-free and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

What I love the most about this sunscreen is how skincare-forward it is! Beyond providing UV protrection, the formula is also chock-full of nourishing ingredients (niacinamide, ceramides, panthenol and a whole lot of antioxidants) that provide anti-aging benefits and support skin resilience.

Available at @ultabeauty for $34. Definitely worth trying!

All of these serums are formulated with L-ascorbic acid, the most biologically available form of vitamin C clinically proven to brighten skin and boost collagen production.

Also, they use a low pH and extra antioxidants like ferulic acid and vitamin E that help to stabilize Vitamin C and increase its potency. And they all have a fragrance-free formula with a cosmetically elegant, lightweight texture that’s suitable for all skin types.

Daily screen exposure is the modern environmental

Daily screen exposure is the modern environmental stressor we don’t see, but our skin does! High-energy visible (HEV) blue light emitted from computer and cell phone screens can contribute to oxidative stress in the skin, leading to dullness and loss of firmness over time.
That’s where @matterofmonday skincare products help to deliver daily defense against blue light and stress…

🌟Anti-Blue Light Brightening Serum

This antioxidant-rich serum is powered by Pepha®-Age, a patented ingredient from micro-alage that helps provide blue light defense. Consider it as your Digital “SPF”(screen protection factor). Plus, the formula contains antioxidants vitamin C and E, hyaluronic acid and rice bran seed extract.

Lightweight and easy to layer, it absorbs quickly and protects your skin from blue light while brightening skin tone. It comes in an airless pump packaging that minimizes product oxidation and bacterial exposure, keeping product most potent throughout use.

🌟Anti-Fatigue Restorative Eye Cream

Daily screen time and fatigue show up first around the eyes—where skin is thinnest and most delicate. This powerhouse formula contains a potent blend of peptides and proteins that work together to firm, smooth and revive tired-looking eyes. It helps reduce the appearance of puffiness and dark circles while deeply hydrating and stimulating collagen production. It has a velvety-smooth texture that absorbs quickly without any heaviness.

🌟Anti-Stress Renewal Moisturizer

Formulated with skin-loving ingredients like micro-algae extract, hyaluronic acid and chamomile extract, this moisturizer boosts hydration while soothing stressed, dry, overworked skin. It has a very lightweight texture that melts in quickly and layers weightlessly under sunscreen and makeup without pilling.

🌟Pore-Refining Exfoliating Cleanser

This exfoliating cleanser combines microspheres with papaya and pineapple enzymes that gently buff away dead skin cells, lift excess oil and decongest pores while removing daily buildup and SPF. It leaves skin feeling refreshed, smooth and soft.

Just a quick post to show my love for the new @palladiobeauty Skin Tint😍

Infused with nourishing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, agave, aloe, vitamin E and squalane, this skin tint hydrates and evens out my skin tone beautifully with a dewy-fresh finish that looks natural.

The formula is lightweight and blends effortlessly with a hydrating feel (not at all heavy or greasy) I just love how this skin tint gives me a healthy, hydrated glow and the coverage lasts almost all day long! Perfect for a quick & easy no-makeup, makeup look. Not to mention, it comes with an affordable price tag ($16) 🙌

The only drawback is that this skin tint comes in only 6 shades. Considering that the formula has buildable sheer-to-medium coverage, Palladio should seriously consider expanding the shade range to accommodate a wide range of skin tones. But for now, if you can find a suitable shade that works for you, it’s sure to please!
