SPF has long been one of those things the younger generation kind of laughed at (me included). I remember sitting in tanning beds, spraying tanning oil all over my skin and skipping the sunscreen altogether on pool days as a teen and in my early 20s. By the time I turned 25, I was FINALLY realizing just how important sun protection is. Better late than never! BUT being as I am now a gigantic SPF advocate – I want to show you JUST how easily you can be adding SPF into your daily routine so your skin stays protected all year long, without any extra steps. Let’s dive into this.
How To Easily Add SPF Into Your Daily Routine

Add SPF into your…
SERUM.
Put this on before you put any makeup on for the day. This serum is invisible on every skin tone (we love to see the inclusivity!), has SPF 60+ to prevent sunburn AND skin aging, and it also protects against environmental aggressors. It’s lightweight and uses ginger extract to improve skin radiance. It’s a quadruple-threat product that deserves to be front-and-center in your morning line up!
LOTION.
If I know my skin is going to be exposed (like my arms / shoulders, especially), I will throw on a little bit of lotion sunscreen on over top of my moisturizer for the day. This one specifically smells INCREDIBLE – none of that typical tell-tale sign of sunscreen scent. It’s fruity, just like my favorite lotion. It’s also super moisturizing because it boosts the skin’s natural moisture barrier. It’s also face and body appropriate so you can use it without worry of clogging pores! It’s quick drying, and rubs in invisibly on all skin tones (aka: no white sunscreen streaks).
FACIAL SPRAY.
This has become a part of my summer routine I can’t live without. This spray is SPF 50+ and is SO EASY to apply during the day. I do my makeup, use my setting spray, and then top this spray right overtop! And when I’m out during the day, I toss it in my purse for reapplication as I go. Perfect for the pool, outdoor walks with my toddler or just hanging out in the sunshine. It doesn’t clog pores OR mess your makeup up.
…and of course: Use your sunscreen. 😉
Obviously, the best thing you can do is to remember to regularly wear your sunscreen. If you plan on spending all day in the sun (or even just a few hours) – I recommend applying this spray sunscreen liberally prior to soaking up the rays! It goes on clear, smells amazing and is sweat and water resistant for up to 80 minutes. This sunscreen is also more than JUST SPF – it also provides broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection to help fight against signs of aging due to UV exposure, such as wrinkles, dark spots, fine lines, and sagging.

These products are available in Walmarts everywhere – so they’re affordable and accessible to everyone! There are SO many ways to get SPF into your daily routine. You don’t have to upheave your entire step-by-step process to include it, and you don’t have to smell like you are on your way back from the pool, either. SPF is important year round, but ESPECIALLY in the summer.
