2026 Sunscreen and Sun Protection Guide
With Memorial Day Weekend approaching, this guide is about protection in the sunny days ahead! Supergoop is running their biggest sale of the year! There is a sitewide discount, incredible deals on the bundles and gifts! I’m a Supergoop partner and will share some of my favorites. Plus there are a few other tried-and-true sunny day favorites on big deal that are perfect for stocking up before the days at the pool! As a Physician Assistant and skin cancer advocate, this topic is near and dear to my heart!
Supergoop SPF Favorites
Unseen Sunscreen – their #1 seller and my favorite! This is a primer and sunscreen in one! Goes on smoothly, has an invisible finish and non-acnegenic formula. Perfect to layer under makeup. You will LOVE this!!!
(Re)Setting Powder – the mineral setting powder that is perfect to keep in your bag. Sets makeup and comes in four shades (I get translucent). I also love this for the scalp and apply it to my hair part line and my daughter’s scalp before school!
Play Lotion – the perfect everyday lotion! Water and sweat-resistent (80 minutes) with no white cast, this is a great SPF 50 option for anything and everything outdoors! Highly recommend the large value option if you spend a lot of time outside.
Lip Gloss – we love this and it includes SPF 40 protection! Available in a few options, my favorite is peppermint and my daughter loves the strawberry!
Don’t forget, many SPF products (typically over SPF 15) are HSA/FSA eligible! When not on sale, you can use my discount code ASHLEY10 for 10% off!
Sun Hat Favorites
Sun hats with scarves are very in style for summer, and I love the practicality and functionality of added sun protection! They also cover areas that are harder to get good sunscreen application. Here are a few options:
Drug Store Sunscreen Favorites
For Kids: Blue Lizard Sensitive Lotion and Stick
This mineral formula is safe on kids and babies ages 6 months and up. Great for sensitive skin too! Right now, if you spend $20, get $10 CVS ExtraBucks back.
For Face: La Roche Posay
This has an ultra light application and can layer well under makeup. It’s water resistant, has SPF 50 coverage and a wonderful every day option.
Sun Protection Clothing
Wearing UPF 50 clothing is one of the easiest ways to apply an extra layer of protection. From dresses to shirts to swimsuits, I opt for UPF 50 pieces as often as I can!
Dresses: Hayden | Kathy | Love
Tops: Alice | Swim Tee | Casey
Swim: SpanxShape | Swim Dress
Summer Hair Care
Between the ultraviolet radiation and chlorine effects, our hair needs a little extra TLC during the summer months! I aim to “protect and prevent” when it comes to hair care!
UV Protectant Spray: protects against ultraviolet ratiation, pollution and color fading
Leave-in Conditioner: rehydrates hair, protects from heat and promotes long-term hair health! Highly rated. You can use code JOYFULLYSO15 for 15% off.
Hope you loved this year’s Sunscreen and Sun Protection Guide! Let me know your favorites!
Live your life joyfully so,
Ashley
