Secret Agent Sunscreens

According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, 90% of aging (yes 9-0!) is caused by sun damage. If you don't wear sunscreen every single day, changes in your skin can begin in your 20s. Protecting your skin while you’re out and about is a must, whether you’re hitting the beach or running errands. The easiest way, sneak it into your daily routine. Below you’ll find a list of our favorite, secret sunscreens. Beach beauties Jessica Biel and Kate Hudson are fans of the antioxidant rich B. Kamins Day Cream SPF 15, $68.00.



Face Wash
The First-Ever Wash-On Sunscreen with SPF 15 and UVA/UVB Protection in a Facial Cleanser Ice Sheild Face Wash SPF 15 by Freeze 24, $48 is a great option for those who can't seem to remember the SPF. It cleanses skin and protects with SPF 15 from everyday UVA and UVB exposure in one easy step. Fresh, super fast, and it doesn’t leave a greasy residue like a traditional sunscreen. What a better way to feel protected from everyday incidental sun exposure.

Every Day Moisturizer
SPF 30 Sheer Moisturizer, $29 by Juice Beauty also hydrates skin. The chemical-free, full spectrum SPF 30 sun protection combines certified organic white grape and pomegranate juices, vitamin antioxidants, and essential nutrients to replenish and protect for optimum antiaging benefits.

Makeup with SPF
Urban Apothecary Mineral Sheer Tint SPF 20, $38 contains advanced skin-matching pigments to truly cover imperfections and enhance your own natural skin tones as it blocks rays.

Bronzer
Murad Firming Bronzer SPF 15, $48 has a shimmer to help hide imperfections and cornflower and rosemary to help tighten skin. The active firming complex actually increases skin firmness by 32% in 15 minutes.

Spray Tan
If easy application is what your after, try the Continuous Spray Sunblock, about $10 by Coppertone. Available in a wide array of SPFs ranging from Dry Oil SPF 10 all the way up to Kid's Sunblock Spray SPF 50, the constant mist gives you quick protection, and it even sprays when it’s upside down -especially handy for hard-to-reach places (and flailing children).

Eye Cream
Shiseido Sun Protection Eye Cream, $30 minimizes the appearance of wrinkles and enhances skin's radiance while providing exceptional protection against UVA/UVB rays. Contains rose apple leaf extract, an antioxidant that prevents the production of free radicals. Better yet, it's recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation as an effective UV sunscreen.

Lip Balm
Lip-balm junkies take notice: This SPF 15 treatment glides on your lips, imparting delectable, dependable moisture. The natural formula protects and restores with a blend of vitamin E, essential fatty acids, and sugar. Sugar Lip Treatment, $22.50 provides long-lasting protection that feels and tastes too good to be good for you.

Spot Check
California Baby's Sunblock Stick SPF 30, $13 is a convenient non-chemical, fragrance-free sunblock stick that pops easily into into your pocket, purse or diaper bagp. It provides a high-level, full-spectrum UVA/UVB sun protection ideal for lips, eye-area skin, nose, ears, scars. And with skin-defending vitamins, helps prevent signs of premature aging.


Nails
Find that polish fades or turns yellow in the sun? Try Seche Vite, $10. This profusely patented, top coat dries nail polish quick to a glossy finish that’s guaranteed not to yellow.
