One of the best beauty advice I’ve ever received in my early twenties was to use sunscreen ! Especially having moved to LA, getting sun damaged skin was a real problem. As you guys know, I’m a beauty junkie and I’m obsessed with the latest skincare products, but fact of the matter is .. it definitely way harder to repair your skin than simply just to protect it. & that starts with having a strong sunscreen for daily wear. Even if it’s not sunny like LA, there are still UV rays during the day that can cause premature aging! So today I’m sharing 5 sunscreens that can help protect AND nourish your skin!
1. Chanel UV Essentiel
In my 5 favorite foundation post, I mentioned that I loved using the Chanel foundation for its light coverage. But what I didn’t tell you guys was that I layer the Chanel sunscreen under for complete coverage! Unlike most sunscreens where they’re greasy and creates an awful white cast, this sunscreen is absorbs easily and smells amazing. It also has properties that protect against urban pollution and free radicals that can cause early aging!

2. Clinique Broad Spectrum w SolarSmart
So I’m not a skin expert or anything but I did do some research, and when we talk about UV rays.. there are UVA & UVB rays that we get exposed to. UVA makes up for most of the exposure, and its what causes the premature aging. This is what we have to protect our skin from because whether or not it’s “sunny,” UVA rays are always there. (It makes up for 95% of the rays that reach Earth.) UVB is the intense heat rays that causes sunburn and sun reddening! So this Clinique sunscreen protects against both these harmful rays AND has anti-aging repair process!

3. Supergoop Sunscreen Serum
This is an amazing sunscreen that doesn’t even feel like a sunscreen. It feels closer to a moisturizer more than anything! But that’s why I love this product because it’s light and non-greasy. For hotter days, I like to use this as a base to layer on a heavier sunscreen with a more powerful SPF. It not only has anti-aging properties but it provides antioxidants E & B5 to keep your skin healthy and hydrated! I love products that have multi-purpose, so for me, a sunscreen that not only protects but nourishes is a definitely must!
Shop: Supergoop Sunscreen Serum
4. Dior Sunscreen
DiorSnow products are made from Edelweiss, which is a flower that blooms pure white even despite harsh weather conditions (like -10 degrees and strong UV rays reflected in the snow). Aside from the fact that I love that concept and hope my face can be like the Edelweiss flower, this is a great overall product to protect your face. Aside from externally protecting against harmful rays, it also nourishes inner cell protection within your skin!

5. Supergoop Sun-Defying Sunscreen Oil
Supergoop is going strong on their sunscreen game with this oil! As I have a love for oils, this sunscreen definitely caught my eye. This product has meadowfoam oil and argan oil, both of which has antioxidant and skin softening benefits. (I also love using argan oil for my hair!) It’s hard to believe that this is a strong sunscreen, but it’s very lightweight and my skin feels very nourished after! It also has a light citrus scent to it that makes me feel very refreshed!

Talking about sunscreen?! I had to read this post! Since my skin has become sensitive because of my skin care products, I’ve become more adamant about using sunscreen daily. I’m currently using Shiseido’s “Urban Environment,” and I love how it feels! Next up, I probably would want to give Chanel a try. The sunscreen oil is very new to me, it’s a unique concept and I would like to see how effective it is. 🙂

Hi Chriselle,
I have been following your snapchats and blogs very religiously recently. I remember seeing on your snapchat that you were using a charcoal jelly like eye mask with your hubby, mind sharing where is it from? Is it good for dark eye circles?
Thanks in advance,
Michelle
Don’t forget to reapply about every two hours!

Hi chriselle! your photos always look so amazing! Could you share how you edit them? or what editor you use for your blog photos? cuz they’re soo HD, but they still have that afterlight/VSCO cam feel to it.
Hi Lynie,
I have no idea how my photographer edits her photos! But thank you for your compliments!
Thank you for the information! I have been looking for a new sunscreen that does not block my pores. I think I will try the Chanel UV Essential. Your skin looks always radiant and young.

This post is great! Sunscreen is a must for any summer outing. You have to keep your skin moist, and out of harm’s way! My favorite is the Chanel. It doesn’t come on heavy like most other sunscreens, but I still feel like I get full coverage.

I love the smell of the Chanel one!! I feel like it’s not sunscreen because it smells so good.
Thank you for the tips, I’d love to try the Supergoop oil.
I love this new serum from La Roche Posay, called Anthelios AOX. It’s super light and non greasy.
