SAFE FUN Sun protection for every kind of action

From the invisible protection to lightweight solutions that pack a punch, the editors share their preferred sun product

OFFICE BOUND

"Summer isn’t really my season—I like being cool and dry so you’ll find me in the shade while everyone else is out in the sun. But even then, I like to make sure that I protect my skin. I love LAURA MERCIER Pure Canvas Primer Protecting (P2095), which offers broad spectrum sun protection and SPF 30, all housed in a cool, gel-cream formulation that feels featherweight even on the hottest of days. This is enough protection for a typical day at work, and in a pinch it’s easy to reapply should you need it. It contains vitamin C and E to keep skin moisturized, but not oily because it doesn’t contain silicone.” —PEEWEE REYES-ISIDRO, Editor-In-Chief

WORK IT OUT

"Working out and staying active are some of my favorite activities, especially in the summer when I can do them by the beach. Because I like to work up a good sweat, my sun protection needs to be sweat-resistant and easy to apply. FRESH Sugar Sport Treatment Sunscreen SPF 30 comes in a cool stick formula that can be easily applied and is also safe to use on my lips and delicate eye area. It goes on clear and doesn’t feel tacky at all, so I can focus on keeping my balance on the surfboard or on breathing right when practicing yoga.”—MARELLA RICKETTS, Beauty & Features Associate

BEACH BUNNY

"I’m at the beach half the year, thanks to my seaside-loving family. SHISEIDO Perfect UV Protector (P3200) is my go-to when I know I will be under the sun the whole day. From brunch at the terrace to frolicking by the shore and enjoying a late afternoon aperitif, this popular, award-winning product protects my skin from UVA and UVB rays with SPF 50+. This year, the brand is introducing SynchroShield technology, which makes the sunscreen work harder when it’s wet and when the heat is turned up high. It’s weightless, has a mild, fresh scent and best of all, goes on invisible on the skin. No wonder it’s ranked #1 in the Prestige Suncare category.”—TRINA EPILEPSIA BOUTAIN, Managing Editor

DAILY PRETTY

"BELO Sunexpert Tinted Sunscreen SPF50 AND PA++++ is one of the best sun sunscreens around—period. Not only does it dry matte, but its subtly tinted formula is enough to cover minor skin issues like redness or even the occasional spot. I love using this for everyday—it lends polish to my look and I don’t have to use two separate products. Oh, and thanks to its high SPF rating and the Belo name behind it, you can bet it works. No sun damage here!”—LYN ALUMNO, Fashion Associate
