Skincare is super important, for everyone. Taking good care of your skin not only helps prevent the appearance of aging (who wants to look older than they are?) but also, it’s just good for your overall health. Especially when it comes to sun protection. Of course nobody expects you to spend every second of your life inside, hiding from the sun, but when you are outside it’s so important to take proper care of your skin and apply sunblock.

As a naturally fair skinned person, with two extremely fair skinned babies, and a pretty fair skinned husband, I like to think I’ve tried a lot of different sun protection products. Sure I love the look of a good tan, and I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t spend most of my teen years toasting my skin in the sun and tanning beds. (Shame on me.) Of course I can’t undo the damage I’ve already done from the sunburns of my past, but I can do everything in my power to prevent any more. I know now that there are so many amazing sunless tanning products out there to give me the look I’m going for without damaging my skin and increasing my risk of skin cancer.

I’ve been so happy with everything that I’ve tried from Supergoop, so I wanted to share all of my favorites with you guys. As well as a list of the things I’m dying to try!

I love that Supergoop is a better brand with better ingredients. Of course there is a price difference, but I will gladly pay a little bit more for a better product that I know works. Click here to see a list of ingredients that Supergoop doesn’t use, and what ingredients they are working to eliminate!

Let’s talk about the kiddos first. I’m trying to get my kids into the habit of never going outside without some type of sunblock on. We’ve tried so many different kinds and have liked a few and disliked a ton. So far, the Supergoop products I’ve tried out have been my favorites by a landslide.

This Sunnyscreen lotion is amazing! It’s SPF 50 and water resistant up to 80 minutes. I can apply it to the boys and know that they’re safe for over an hour, even in the water. It’s fragrance-free, silicone-free, and paraben-free, so I’m not worrying about what I’m putting on their little sensitive skin. The best part is that a little goes a LONG way! This stuff is super thick and it seriously spreads out! I’ve even used it on myself! I love it and will absolutely repurchase over and over again!

Another product the little ones love is the Super Power Sunscreen Mousse. I honestly bought it for them because its a foam and I figured that they would love it. It’s also SPF 50 and water resistant for up to 80 minutes. I love this because it isn’t drying. None of the Supergoop products are, but this just feels good on your skin. Especially if you’re reapplying after being out in the sun! It’s cooling and just feels amazing! I love it! Definitely a favorite in the Smith household.

A problem that I was having with some of the sunscreens I was using was that they were making my skin feel SO DRY! I have seriously dry skin as it is, and I moisturize like crazy, but after using some sunscreens I would feel like my skin was so dry and itchy I’d have to shower almost immediately after coming back in the house. Because of this, I decided to try out the Sun-Defying Sunscreen Oil with Meadowfoam. I’m obsessed with this stuff! It makes my skin glow and it protects me from the sun. I’ll take ten bottles please! It has a super light feel on the skin but it WORKS! I applied this before going on a bus tour in Nashville. We were outside for about 4 hours in direct sunlight and I never even reapplied. No sunburn here! I will never stop loving this product! Supergoop actually recommends applying this at the end of your shower, which is not something I’ve tried, but it definitely will happen soon!

Something that is newer to my collection, but also super important is the Poof Part Powder. I am not a hat wearing person at all. I want to be, but I just cannot find any that flatter me. So, when I’m out in the sun, my part has a tendency to burn. I think our part is something we don’t think about, because we don’t realize how much sun exposure it is actually getting. I will say that this does leave a slight white cast on my hair, and my hair isn’t the darkest, so that is something to keep in mind.

I’d actually gotten a sample of this Unseen Sunscreen and loved it before ever trying anything else from Supergoop. It works so well under my makeup, doesn’t break me out, and doesn’t have any smell or color. That means that I can wear it with or without my makeup! Win-win. It also has that little red Allure Best of Beauty Award Winner which means a lot to me when I’m choosing a product.

I’ve mentioned before that I have fairly dry skin, so I was pretty excited to try the Glow Stick. I’d also seen a few people talking about it and definitely became more interested in it. I love that it’s a stick and I can just glide it all over my face. When they say glow, they mean GLOW. This product gives me a seriously dewy appearance, which I really like, but can become a tad bit frustrating in extreme heat, only because I wear glasses, and they tend to slide off. I have no issues with the way it wears under my makeup, it works perfectly for a no makeup day as well, it just makes my glasses slide down a little more than normal. I still use this almost every day.

I’m really happy with the Lip Shield as well. Lips are another thing I think that are frequently forgotten in the sun. I always have chapped lips in the winter and I’ve been noticing they get super dry when I’m outside in the sun. I’ve been keeping this in my kitchen and using it when I’m out in the sun and just in my kitchen. It’s a great lip balm. It’s also the highest SPF I’ve found for a lip balm, I seem to find SPF 15 a lot more. I am all about the extra SPF.

I can’t say enough good about Supergoop. I haven’t been disappointed by anything I’ve tried. They definitely are a pricier brand, but they’ve got great ingredients and their products work.

I’ve got a wish list about a mile long of products I’m wanting to try, but I’ll pick my top 5 wants to share with you.

First up, the Forever Young Body Butter. It’s currently out of stock, which is one reason I’ve not tried it, but I’m dying to give it a go. What is better than skipping a step in your routine? I always moisturize my skin and then put sunscreen on to go outside. This would be amazing for days I’m absolutely sure I’m heading outside. It would save me so much time!

Second, the Healthy Glow Sunless Tan, is a product I’m super curious about! It has great reviews, and honestly the only reason I’ve not tried it is because I literally don’t need another single tanning product probably until next year. But I’m definitely interested in trying it!

Third, is the Superscreen Daily Moisturizer. I’ve got plenty of facial moisturizers that I love and need to use up right now, but I’m definitely interested to see how this works under makeup. As with everything else, the reviews are awesome, so I’m sure it’s just as good as the rest of their products!

Fourth, is the Shimmershade Eyeshadow. My eyelids are honestly the only part of my skin that don’t get SPF applied to them. I’m super interested in trying these. Maybe once I work through all of my current eyeshadow collection? Yeah right. I don’t think I’ll make it through all of that in my lifetime.

The last item on my list of products I want to try is the Antioxidant-Infused Sunscreen Mist with Vitamin C. I’m all about convenience and a spray is the ultimate convenience when it comes to sunscreen. It’s non-aerosol, which is so much better! Definitely adding to my cart the next time I’m shopping for sunscreen!
