It has taken what seems a lifetime for me to realize that wearing sunscreen is kind-of important. Admittedly so, I subscribed to the assumption that black women need not wear it because our melanin somehow magically protects us from skin cancer and other sun-related illnesses. Hilarious, right? Obviously, I was very wrong because the statistics prove otherwise and this year’s new sunscreen products are hardly in short supply.
Up until a few years ago, SPF newness was limited to smelly sunscreens that don’t mesh well with makeup, thus encouraging us to go without. But these drops are the skincare-makeup hybrids we’ve been dreaming of. Plus they almost force you to wear SPF without really trying. Products with that require less work and double the benefits are the only ones I’m trying to use all 2019 because, well, why not? Marie Kondo taught us well and we’d be crazy to not extend her time-saving lessons to our beauty routine. Prepare to feel next-level joy when you get into some of the most innovative products–good old fashioned sunscreen included–for shielding against UV exposure below.
