We all love staying out in the sun and getting a tan, but staying out in the sun isn’t always the best for us. Premature aging and even skin cancer can be caused by going out in the sun without any form of protection on your skin, so unless you just want to become a social recluse or go out every day under an umbrella, it’s important to find a sunscreen that you can wear daily without it being too much of a hassle. If you like wearing makeup, this can be a problem as some sunscreens end to be heavy, oily or sticky – not the best base to be putting makeup on. However, we have picked out the best sunscreens to wear under makeup, that will protect your skin all day so you don’t have to search high and low for your perfect sunscreen.
Supergoop’s formula for this sunscreen is completely clear, so you can be assured that it will not show up under your makeup – it completely disappears as you rub it into your skin, so it won’t make darker makeup shades look ashy, and it won’t leave residue on deeper skin tones like other sunscreens will. It has an SPF of 40 and its completely oil-free, so you can put it underneath your makeup and know that you’ll stay protected and flawless all day. This is definitely one of the best sunscreens to wear under makeup!
This sunscreen is completely free of fragrances and other irritants, is not heavy or greasy, and is both waterproof and mattifying, meaning that pretty much anyone can use this sunscreen, and you can easily put makeup on top of it without worrying about it coming off suring the day or reacting badly with your foundation. In addition, it has an SPF of 50, so you can stay out in the sun all day, and not worry about burning beneath your makeup.
This is a full coverage and colour correcting cream with a super hydrating formula and anti-aging serum, so, as the name says, it is literally your skin but better. This will not only help you cut down on time in your beauty routine as you won’t need to bother with foundation, sunscreen and concealer individually, but it will protect your skin all day as it has a SPF of 50+, so there will be no need to re-apply during the day. This is one of the best sunscreens to wear because it basically has foundation built into it! Two for the price of one!
If you have oily skin, or pores that tend to get clogged, then a sunscreen that you love may be hard to find. However, this lightweight gel will give you full SPF 50 protection whilst not leaving any sticky or white residue on your skin, so you can carry on as normal and not worry that you’re going to break out. This brand has been recommend by both dermatologists and doctors, so you’re putting your face in capable hands.
When you have dry skin, finding a foundation that will moisturise and not irritate your skin can be difficult, especially if you want to wear makeup without your skin looking greasy of flaky. This moisturising lotion is perfect if you have dry skin as it is easily absorbed and has a light formula that won’t leave any kind of residue or unwanted texture on your skin. Plus, the moisturiser contains SPF 30 so you can put your makeup on top, safe in the knowledge that you’ll be protected from the sun.
