Sun`s out, SPF on
Okay besties, let’s be real for a second — if you still skip SPF because it’s “too sticky” or “makes your makeup weird” … it’s 2025, babe. We have options now.
I know, I know — sunscreen talk sounds like that one health lecture you ignored in high school.
But let me drop this stat: Over 90% of premature skin aging comes from UV exposure. That means the wrinkles, the spots, the dullness — mostly preventable.
So no, SPF isn’t just for beach days or when you “remember.” It’s literally the anti-aging product you already own.
And before you roll your eyes — yes, even when it’s cloudy, even when you’re indoors scrolling TikTok for hours, you still need it.
UVA rays don’t care that you’re in bed, babe — they go through windows.
Let’s get to the fun part. Sunscreen formulas in 2025? They’re not giving “greasy lifeguard nose” anymore.
We’re talking hybrid formulas that feel like skincare.
Let me put you on to a few types:
- Tinted SPF: evens skin tone, gives that no-makeup-makeup vibe. Perfect for lazy days.
Glowy SPF: yes, the dewy finish is back, but in a good way — think “your skin, but radiant.”
Matte SPF: for my oily-skin besties — blurring, pore-smoothing, makeup-friendly.
Mineral/chemical blends: no white cast, no weird flashback.
My personal fave? The ones that double as primers — that’s how you get your glow and your protection in one. Because if it feels like skincare, you’re actually gonna want to use it.
Okay, it’s myth-busting time — because the internet is full of SPF misinformation.
Myth #1: “I don’t need sunscreen if my foundation has SPF.”– Nope. You’d need like 10 pumps of foundation to hit the protection level on the label. That’s a full TikTok transition’s worth of product.
Myth #2: “Dark skin tones don’t need SPF.” Absolutely false. Melanin does offer some protection, but not enough to prevent sun damage or hyperpigmentation. Everyone needs it. Period.
Myth #3: “I don’t go outside that much.” Girl, you went to get coffee. You scrolled on your balcony. You opened your blinds. Boom — UV exposure.
Myth #4: “SPF makes me break out.” Try a mineral or gel formula. Most modern sunscreens are non-comedogenic and way lighter than before.
So no excuses — just find your match.
