Top 3 Sunscreens I Reach For Again and Again ☀️
Share
There are so many sunscreens on the market and honestly, it can get confusing. As an esthetician, I carry and work with several different SPF formulas because every skin type has different needs.
While I truly love all of them for different reasons, these are the 3 sunscreens I find myself recommending over and over again depending on your skin goals, finish preference, and lifestyle.
If you love a hydrated, healthy glow, this one is beautiful on the skin. It’s lightweight, acne-safe, and works especially well for sensitive or breakout-prone skin types.
Why I love it:
* Gives the skin a natural dewy finish
* Feels lightweight and comfortable
* Acne-safe and non-pore clogging
* Layers beautifully under makeup
* Great everyday sunscreen
This is one I often recommend for clients who want simple, reliable daily protection without feeling heavy or greasy.

This is one of my favorite sunscreens for clients who want lightweight protection that still feels luxurious on the skin. The texture is silky, blends beautifully, and leaves the skin looking healthy and radiant without a heavy or greasy feel.
Why I love it:
- Ultra-light fluid texture
- Beautiful under makeup
- No white cast
- Packed with antioxidants and niacinamide
- Helps support and brighten the skin barrier
- Great for daily wear and Las Vegas heat
This is the sunscreen I often recommend for someone who says, “I hate the feeling of sunscreen,” because it feels so elegant and weightless on the skin.

SkinCeuticals Future Mineral UV Defense SPF 50
This is one of my favorite mineral sunscreens for clients who want higher SPF protection without the heavy, chalky feel that mineral sunscreens sometimes have. It blends beautifully into the skin without leaving a noticeable white cast while still giving strong broad-spectrum protection.
Why I love it:
• 100% mineral SPF 50 protection
• Blends beautifully without a heavy white cast
• Helps protect against premature aging
• Contains niacinamide and soothing ingredients
• Great for sensitive or post-treatment skin
• Ideal after procedures and for daily protection
I especially love this sunscreen for clients looking for strong protection with a softer, more refined finish. It feels protective while still keeping the skin comfortable and healthy-looking throughout the day.

My Honest Thoughts On Sunscreen
The “best” sunscreen is the one you’ll actually wear consistently. Texture, finish, skin type, and lifestyle all matter - which is why I like having different options available for my clients.
Daily SPF is one of the most important steps for:
* Preventing premature aging
* Protecting collagen
* Preventing hyperpigmentation
* Supporting healthy skin long-term
If you’re not sure which sunscreen is best for your skin, I’m always happy to help guide you toward the right fit for your goals and skin type.
With love + glow,
Silvie ✨
