This brings me to perhaps one of the most interesting sunscreen products that I consider key to my daily UV defense. It’s so unusual because it fulfills a real gap in my sun protection — and because I don’t use it as directed!

I work from home a lot and by mid- to late-afternoon, I want to wipe the palette clean and throw on a soothing sheet mask. So, I do a double cleanse and remove all traces of sunscreen and whatever else has accumulated on my skin — like city grime and damaging, free-radicalized pollutants.

You can’t imagine what it’s like standing on the subway platform. If you haven’t experienced the filthy rush of wind that envelopes you ahead of an oncoming train, you haven’t lived.

Though I’ve washed it all off, several times a week I find myself popping back out while the summer sun is still shining brightly — and that means I’m still susceptible to UV damage.

I’d feel guilty and like a total hypocrite if I went outside for 20 minutes or longer without sunscreen. But while I’m hesitant to go out without any sun protection, I also don’t really want to apply a heavy, all-day sunscreen moisturizer either.

I just need something quick, something effective, something I can wash off with a light cleansing foam!

Like a mist.

Like the Supergoop! 100% Mineral Sunscreen Mist! This stuff is pure perfection. It’s funny, though, Supergoop! markets this spray as a sunscreen for the body. It comes in a huge 6 oz. / 177ml can for the price of a body product, just $34 on Sephora.com. And this is why it’s so beneficial to know your ingredients.

The 100% Mineral Sunscreen Mist is an excellent formula for skin anywhere on your body — including your face. Antioxidant rich, skin-replenishing marigold, safflower, and sunflower extracts are ingredients I love in my facial skin care. As well as soothing Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Jojoba Esters and Calendula Flower Extract.

I mist it on and go! When I get back after an hour or so, it washes right off. It does the job of preventing incidental exposure to UV and I've taken the important step of protecting my skin from the aging effects of even a small amount of sun exposure.
