9 affordable beauty products with SPF that will make you look fabulous
Is there anything more tragic than having your perfect summer look ruined by streaky white sunscreen all over your face? Luckily, gone are the days of having to use thick sunblock at the expense of our makeup and clothes—there are plenty of affordable products that have SPF, and you can get them at any drugstore or makeup shop near you. No need to sacrifice your skin for your makeup and vice versa, because you are a summer goddess.
It’s a myth that you have to break the bank to get good products that contain SPF and will make you look great.
Plenty of makeup is available at a relatively low price-point, and many also contain sunscreen!
Speaking of the sun, if you think you don’t need SPF because you have a darker skin tone, think again. People with darker skin are especially susceptible to skin damage because they often incorrectly believe that they aren’t in danger of getting skin cancer, which means they don’t take preventative measures like using sunscreen. Which means everyone better be using SPF this summer, and we don’t want to hear any complaints!
So, to make it a little less painful and annoying, we’ve come up with a list of 11 affordable products that have SPF in them and will also make you look fabulous.
