Ladies. We know that most of you have incorporated some kind of SPF into your morning routine, but you still need to reapply! This becomes a seriously complex task once you’ve applied foundation and setting powder right? So what is a girl to do? How can we protect our skin without smudging off our makeup and ending up a mess? Well, we’ve got you covered with the best routine ever to keep your skin protected and safe from sun damage!

1) Use a CREAM SPF in the Morning

In the morning, before putting on makeup, I opt for a HARDCORE SUNSCREEN. SPF 50. We like to use one that’s made specially for your FACE and that’s ONLY a sunscreen and not a foundation with SPF etc etc. Our absolute favorite face sunscreen is hands down from Dermalogica. They call it a Skin or Solar Defense Booster and it has SPF 50. It also MIXES really well with foundation and moisturizer if you want to apply it that way. It also has Grape Seed and Green Tea soothe and which help defend against free radicals that cause premature aging.

STEP 2: Re-PROTECT With a Mist in the Afternoon

Mist sunscreen is LEGENDARY. For re-application throughout the day, what you want and what you NEED in your life is a light mist format of sunscreen. What is KEY here, is avoiding rubbing on any creams over your makeup which will end terribly. FORTUNATELY, there are products out there today that have been formulated with this situation in mind! We have two options for you, both of which are great. Pixi is a brand we love and there mist is a pure sunscreen. The one from Kate Sommerville doubles as a setting spray and it’s called UncompliKated SPF 50 Soft Focus Makeup Setting Spray.
