There was a time when my morning skincare routine ended with moisturizer and not an ounce of SPF. As a person with melanated skin, it didn't feel particularly crucial, but in reality, my skin was begging for daily sunscreen. Thankfully, I've unlearned the many stereotypes about SPF, and now, it's become a nonnegotiable in my routine, even when I'm not spending time outdoors. (Fun fact: Your computer screen emits blue light that can cause damage to your skin.)
I've tested all kinds of sunscreens from mineral to chemical, tinted to sheer, and everything in between. As of now, there's one claiming the top spot: Neutrogena's Ultra Sheer Face Liquid Mineral Sunscreen. To put it simply, this invisible finish is elite. Finding SPF products that don't leave a white cast is no easy feat, but this is truly a sunscreen that you can't see. It's lightweight, non-greasy, and easy to apply at your vanity or on the go. This won't be the first or last time you hear about the importance of sun protection. I've enlisted Dhaval Bhanusali, M.D., to give us more insight into sun care below.
