Despite all the advancements in the beauty world, sunscreen is still one of those things that most mainstream brands haven’t mastered. I’ve always thought, more people would use sunscreen on a daily basis if it wasn’t so gross and awful to apply. Who wants to rub that thick, sticky stuff on their skin only to be left with an ashy white residue that’s literally impossible to wash off?
As an African-American woman who works with lots of beauty experts, I know how important sunscreen is. And I’m diligent about applying it every day. But the fact of the matter is, the best sunscreens for people with darker skin tones are often really expensive. And I get it. Those brands have worked really hard to design a formula that offers truly sheer protection. But grief, $30+ for sunscreen is a hard sell.
That’s why I’m so excited to share my latest find:
CVS’ Live Better Body Mineral Sunscreen. It’s part of the
wellness line CVS launched last month and it’s been my saving grace the last few weeks in the sweltering NYC heat.
This super affordable
sunscreen is made from natural zinc actives that provide hypoallergenic sun protection for up to 80 minutes of swimming or sweating. Even better, this sunscreen is made using only mineral actives and contains no oxybenzone, octinoxate, parabens or phthalates.
Best of all, though? How silky, smooth and sheer this
sunscreen goes on my skin! I like to spray the sunscreen into the palm of my hand, then apply all over my body. When applied this way, the sunscreen not only goes on nice and sheer, but it also give my skin a gorgeous dewy glow. This
sunscreen is so good, in fact, that I even use it on my face! That’s how sheer it is!
So no more excuses, right? The 6.3oz bottle of
CVS’ Live Better Body Mineral Sunscreen is only $11.99, which is a steal for sunscreen that works without making you look like a ghost. Stock up for summer!
