How many times have you skipped reapplying your sunscreen just so that you don’t mess up your makeup? Although I hate to admit it, I too am guilty of doing this. Many liquid and cream formulas smear my foundation and often, leave a white cast on my skin. Luckily, I’ve discovered a foolproof way to reapply sunscreen… via powder formulas! These innovative sunscreens make it easy to touch-up your sun protection throughout the day, without disturbing the makeup beneath. If you are keen to try them out, here are 5 that are worth the investment!
1. Paula’s Choice On-The-Go Shielding Powder SPF 30
If you have combination or oily skin, you should definitely consider picking up this product. Not only does the loose powder protect your skin from the harsh effects of UV rays, but also mattifies any shine. Plus, it contains vitamin C & E, which help strengthen your skin’s barrier whilst dealing with hyperpigmentation.
2. ISDIN Isdinceutics Mineral Brush
Formulated with titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, mica and iron oxides, this brush-on formula safeguards your skin from both, UV rays and the blue light emitted from your electronic devices.
3. Tarte Sea Set & Protect Mineral Sunscreen Powder Broad Spectrum SPF 30
This vegan formula works on every type of complexion! The translucent powder goes on smoothly to provide sun protection, without settling into the fine lines of your skin or leaving behind a chalky finish. You can even dust some on to your scalp to keep it from getting burnt!
4. Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Brush-On Shield SPF 50
Recommended by dermatologists across the globe, this sunscreen is one of the best formulas out there. Apart from the traditional ingredients such as titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, it also features sodium hyaluronate, which helps the skin retain moisture. Since the formula is non-comedogenic, it can safely be used by those with acne-prone skin.
5. Supergoop 100% Mineral Invincible Setting Powder
Available in 4 shades, this luxurious product is quite the multitasker. From setting your makeup and reducing shine to shielding your skin from the sun’s rays, this powder does it all. You can even refill the formula once you are done with the bottle!
Remember to always reapply your sunscreen every 2 hours to adequately protect your skin. If you do happen to try any of these powder formulas out, do let us know how you like them!
