Dermatologists nation-wide are raving about CeraVe products and their sunscreen is no exception. Offering both face and body lotion, CeraVe sunscreen is an oil-free, 100% mineral sunscreen that will provide FULL coverage from the sun and help retain your skin’s natural moisture. This formula is ideal for effective sun protection and minimal risk of irritation for sensitive and all other skin types. It has our seal of approval, as well as the National Eczema Association and the Skin Cancer Foundation. We love CeraVe because it gets the job done while you soak in a little extra sunshine.

If you know you have sensitive skin, this mineral based Sun Bum formula is just right for you! The Sun Bum SPF 50 Premium Moisturizing Sunscreen Lotion will protect you from harmful UVA/UVB rays while enriching your skin with vitamin E at the same time. Sun Bum sunscreens are tested, approved, and even recommended by The Skin Cancer Foundation. You’ll definitely get full coverage from the sun. If you haven’t had the chance to try Sun Bum yet, we recommend it! We love it because it never bleeds into your eyes and won’t come off during your adventures in the sun and water! 

Products with sunscreen are IN. Gone are the days of tanning beds and harmful skin fads. Using sunscreen daily simply can’t be emphasized enough. Incorporating this into your routine helps you reduce wrinkles, avoid sun spots, and protect against skin cancer. So, if you’re looking for the perfect sunscreen product, Dermalogica Skin Perfect Primer can be used before putting on makeup each day (or by itself) for a flawless look. With SPF 30, it keeps you protected underneath your daily makeup. Your ideal facial sunscreen has between 30-50 SPF in order to provide full coverage from the sun. 

This one’s for you athletes out there {or mommas with athletic kids}! The Neutrogena CoolDry Sport sunscreen is sweat-resistant and even keeps skin cool while the sun protection stays on. It’s designed for those with an active lifestyle, and we know that’s you and your kiddos! With micromesh technology, this lotion is lightweight, non-greasy and will resist water and sweat for 80 minutes. Plus, it’s oil & PABA-free so it’ll really protect your skin while you get out there and make some memories!

Designed with dermatologists, Blue Lizard Australian mineral sunscreen provides head-to-toe sun protection when you’re out an about making memories! Their SPF 30+ sensitive sunscreen doesn’t contain skin-irritating chemical ingredients and is free of parabens and fragrances. Their motto is “We love the reef!” and we here at Kortni Jeane wholeheartedly agree. Their formula is made with the fragile reef ecosystems in mind and helps to protect it so you can play in the ocean, worry-free! 

How’s that for a sunscreen line-up?! Just remember to reapply sunscreen additionally every 1-3 hours if you’re outdoors to ensure that your skin stays protected on those long summer days. And don’t forget that sunscreen doesn’t completely block the sun from reaching you, no matter what the SPF is! Take advantage of those other protections like light clothing, cute hats, trendy sunglasses, and shady spots (especially between those peak exposure hours of 10am-4pm). Well, which sunscreen do you think you’ll lather onto your beautiful skin?
