It’s the perfect blend of both sun protection and foundation coverage in one, and I can’t get enough of it.

What I Love About ZO Skin Health’s Daily Mineral Sunshade Broad Spectrum SPF 45
I am not a huge makeup girl to begin with and during the summer months I morph into a strictly no-makeup girl. The combination of the heat and carefree nature of summer is the perfect excuse for me to skip out on foundation. That said, I still like to even out my skin tone, albeit minimally, so I always use a tinted sunscreen as a means of multitasking—I get coverage while protecting my skin from the sun at the same time. Also, tinted sunscreen helps protect my skin from melasma, while also evening out any hidden patches.
I wear ZO Skin Health’s Daily Mineral Sunshade Broad Spectrum SPF 45 in shade light medium. I truly love that it’s a physical sunscreen that deposits an ounce of color so that I don’t look too pale. Not to mention, the sunscreen is extremely lightweight, is super easy to reapply throughout the day, and doesn't cake—at all. Plus, if there’s a night when I really need makeup, it makes for a perfect canvas for blush and bronzer.
