Travel-Friendly SPF, to the Rescue
For city sightseeing…
You’ll want to have a solid SPF base on for a full day of exploring your new favorite city, and thankfully, we’ve got plenty of options that will slip perfectly into your makeup bag or dopp kit.
If you have drier skin, Superscreen Hydrating Daily Cream SPF 40 is a great pick. This hydrating moisturizer does double duty by quenching dry skin and protecting it with SPF 40. For more oily or sensitive skin, Zincscreen 100% Mineral Lotion (also with SPF 40 and pollution protection) is your pick. It’s a lightweight lotion that uses zinc oxide as its sunscreen active.
If makeup is part of your city chic look, you can create the perfect base by wearing an SPF primer on top of your favorite moisturizer. Our 100% invisible Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40 goes on clear on all skin tones, leaving behind a natural finish. Mineral Mattescreen SPF 40 is a mineral sunscreen that uses zinc oxide and titanium dioxide as its sunscreen actives. It leaves a matte finish and helps visibly blur pores.
Finally, don’t forget to reapply your SPF if you’re out and about for the day. We love (Re)setting Powder SPF 35, a mineral SPF powder that sets your look, mattifies oil and shine and makes it easy to reapply sun protection over makeup.
For beaching it…
We have lots of carry-on-friendly options for your beach vacation!
Our original sunscreen, PLAY Everyday Lotion SPF 50, comes in a 2.4-ounce tube and is a great SPF base layer for face and body. It’s also sweat- and water-resistant, fast-absorbing and smells great!
For reapplying at the beach (or even for a quicker base layer step), our PLAY Antioxidant Body Mist SPF 50 is perfect because it sprays from any angle and applies on wet or dry skin. Just make sure to get the travel-sized version!
Another popular SPF for beach travel and reapplication is our Glow Stick SPF 50, which gives skin a gorgeous glow while protecting against UVA and UVB rays. Since it’s a stick, it’s also spill-proof and perfectly made to throw into your handbag.
One more tip…
