The Functional & Chic Approach to SPF
Rethink the way you apply sunscreen with these beauty hybrid applications
Written by Jessica Fields
In the past we’ve squeezed and slathered, or sprayed and rubbed sunscreen in before venturing out into the day’s heat. It’s a drill we’ve gotten used to, when the summer months hit, but it’s not the only way to protect yourself from the sun’s harmful rays. Like many products in beauty, sunscreen has evolved and these 2 brands in particular have made SPF application innovative and even chic.
With skin care lines dropping left and right, Habbit chose to launch their brand with one very necessary product – SPF. But don’t get it twisted this isn’t your typical squeeze, slather and repeat sunscreen. Habbits No.41 sunscreen mists your face, neck and upper body for an application that’s more relatable to your favorite essence or setting spray then the aerosol cans of sunscreen you’ve grown up with. The ultra-fine spray is formulated with SPF 41 and is scented with natural botanicals to further that refreshing feeling you get from your midday face mist break.
Looking back a few years, Petiue changed the way we look at SPF and contouring with its 2014 launch and release. Though the brand now has a near cult like following, it’s one of the pioneers when it comes to beautifying sunscreen. The simple idea of using sunscreen to create a naturally tanned contour and highlighted face quickly took off with the less is more makeup trends of summer. The unique highlighter has a broad spectrum of SPF 45 that protects without leaving a white cast or residue behind, and the application is fool proof. Simply glide the stick where you would normally add highlighter, i.e. your nose, cheekbones and cupids bow, and go about your day. Just like SPF, a good highlighter and a refreshing mist is a must for summer. And just like the old days of application, SPF works best when reapplied throughout the day, so no matter what your summer plans hold these game changing products have got you covered.
