SPF On-The-Go

Most products with SPF lose their efficacy after 6 to 12 months. As the world begins to slowly reopen, it’s time to refresh our beauty pouches with new on-the-go products for spontaneous days in the sunshine. This selection of sun-protecting gems is perfect for the spring/summer season, whether you are walking in the city or taking a weekend getaway!

Untinted

Crystal Clear

After a long winter, I was able to escape the city for a break. I had to protect my skin well, as I was so pale after so much time indoors. Supergoop!’s Unseen Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 40 PA+++ delivered efficiency, practicality and safety with clean ingredients. The packaging is small enough to fit inside a small purse or even in the pocket of your denim jacket!

French Pharmacy Favorite

For French women, La Roche-Posay is a staple of our beauty vanities. Decades of research and some of the best patents in the world keep this brand at the top of our selection. The SPF 60 has a liquid texture that is easy to apply. Even better, it does not leave your face looking white. It comes in a mini version that we can’t get enough of at the office.

Soft & Sensitive

We know that the trickiest part with sunscreen is finding one that doesn’t break you out. Thankfully, there’s EltaMD. The UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 is as protective as it is moisturizing. Lightweight, smooth and anti-shine, it’s no wonder this product is a favorite amongst celebrities like Hailey Baldwin Bieber.

Pocket-Sized

I know how easy it is to get caught up sitting on a sunny terrace for lunch. When we let our guard down, we can unwittingly get a bit too much sun. As such, these products come in convenient small containers that fit easily inside your purse. My on-the go faves are: Clarins UV PLUS Anti-Pollution Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Tinted Sunscreen, Shiseido UV Protective Liquid Foundation, or Chanel UV Essentiel Multi-Protection Daily Defense Sunscreen Anti-Pollution Broad Spectrum SPF 50.

Tinted

New Favorite

Avène Solaire UV Mineral Multi-Defense Tinted Sunscreen SPF 50+ is the brand’s latest addition in the suncare category. The 100% mineral sheer SPF is safe for sensitive skin. Further, it has a Multi-Defense Shield Complex™ that boosts antioxidant protection by up to 200%. I tried and loved the water-resistant tinted version!

Super Sun Protection

One of my favorite additions in my selection of tinted SPF products comes from mesoestetic. Mesoprotech melan 130 Pigment Control SPF 50+ is a lightly tinted product that focuses on protecting your skin from sun pigmentation. The light and tiny container makes it easy to slip into your makeup bag.

Glow To-Go

Erborian CC Crème High Definition Radiance Face Cream Skin Perfector SPF 25 is a multitasking product ideal for women on the run. When you put a drop of the Erborian Skin Perfector on your hand, it shows up initially as white. Then, the product becomes a tinted moisturizer with a high SPF as soon as you rub it in.
