Budget-Friendly SPF Facical Sunscreens.

We all recognise that sunscreen is essential to our skincare routine, protecting our skin from direct sunlight and UV rays. It should be applied year-round, regardless of the weather. With spring and summer just around the corner, it seems like the perfect time to write a blog post about affordable facial sunscreens that effectively shield your skin from sun damage, fine lines, and wrinkles.

Every dermatologist or skincare specialist will tell you that applying sunscreen is crucial for your skin’s long-term health, regardless of age or skin type. So for today’s blog post, I’ve put together a mini guide with the best facial sunscreen, for sensitive, tinted and mineral SPF.

The e.l.f. Sun Touchable is a lightweight and non-greasy gel enriched with aloe and meadowfoam. It leaves no white residue and also serves as a face primer, making it an excellent choice for smoothing your complexion and helping your makeup adhere for long-lasting results. Lastly, it’s water-resistant and great for all skin tones!

e.l.f SKIN Suntouchable! All Set for Sun SPF30

I never came across a sunscreen setting spray, which is completely new to me. This product is easy to use and designed to be applied over your makeup. Not only does it help keep your makeup intact throughout the day, but it also provides sun protection. You can reapply it during the day for a refreshing boost and added sun safety.

The spray contains watermelon fruit extract and prickly pear seed oil, dries quickly, feels weightless, and doesn’t leave a greasy residue or a white cast. After applying the setting spray, there needs to be 15 minutes before sun exposure, whether you’re applying before makeup applications (as a primer) or over the makeup (as a setting spray).
