I love skin care [1], and my morning routine [2] is pretty simple but consistent. I have sensitive, combination skin with pores that clog easily, so I have to be very discerning about the products I use. While I get excited about finding a great vitamin C serum or nourishing moisturiser [3], to be frank, I've never been all that enthused about sunscreen. Don't get me wrong, I know it's an essential (I'm a California girl), but all the products I've tried are either too thick and feel tacky or leave a white cast that I don't love. But, I've finally found a product I actually look forward to applying: the Dr. Loretta Urban Antioxidant Sunscreen SPF 40 [4] ($50).
How do I love this product? Let me count the ways. Firstly, the texture is ideal. It's lightweight, not too thick, and glides on top of the skin. I can wear it seamlessly under makeup, and it also sits beautifully on its own. Plus, there's no white cast. The product has a slightly pink hue out of the bottle, and when you apply it to the face, it gives a little glow. Think your skin but better. Also, as someone with sensitive skin, this product has not clogged my pores. That in and of itself would be enough for me to keep it on my vanity, but it's also comfortable, easy to apply, cruelty free, and vegan. Basically, there's nothing not to love. Sunscreen is the one product that everyone needs in their morning routine, and if I were you, I'd try this one.
