By now we all know that wearing sunscreen year-round is absolutely imperative, even when it’s gloomy out. But as spring approaches, it becomes even more important to slap on some SPF before stepping outside. When choosing what works best for you, there are a few things to take into consideration, including your preferred texture, formulation and price point. If you’re looking to switch up your sunscreen routine, there’s one in particular that celebrities have been loving lately.
Both Pamela Anderson and Hailey Bieber are fans of Summer Fridays’ ShadeDrops SPF 30 mineral sunscreen, a great option for anyone looking for a lightweight, naturally radiant finish that protects from UV rays while also providing nourishing ingredients to the skin. And best of all, it’s reef-friendly, so you can rest assured that nature isn’t being harmed while you take a dip in the sea.
Made with vegan and cruelty-free ingredients, this sunscreen is formulated with zinc oxide, squalane, chamomile and an antioxidant blend of vitamin E and ethyl ferulate. They work together to shield the skin from sun damage and to hydrate, soften and smooth the skin and protect against further damage from free radicals. The drops create an ethereal glow that isn’t slick or oily, leaving the complexion with a silky, youthful texture.
It’s one of Anderson’s daily essentials — so much so that she apparently carries it around with her all day long.
She pulled it out of her Stella McCartney bag during an “In The Bag” YouTube video for British Vogue, noting that she wishes she had used SPF more often when she was younger.
Hailey Bieber used so much of the sunscreen that she posted a photo of it on her Instagram stories, with a caption reading “EMPTY.”
