National Sunscreen Day: Why SPF is the Step You Should Never Skip

May 27th is National Sunscreen Day, and while that might sound like just another wellness holiday, it’s actually a powerful reminder of something simple that can protect your skin for a lifetime: daily sun protection.

We often associate sunscreen with summer vacations or beach days, but the truth is—SPF is essential every single day. UV rays are present year-round, even on cloudy days or when you’re indoors near windows. Over time, unprotected exposure can lead to premature aging, fine lines, sun spots, and increased risk of skin cancer.

So why do so many people still skip this step? One big reason: they haven’t found the right sunscreen.

That’s why today, we’re spotlighting two industry favorites that deliver powerful protection without the greasy feel or chalky finish:
SkinBetter Science SunBetter Tone Smart SPF 68 and Alastin Hydratint Pro Mineral SPF 36.

Why We Love These Sunscreens 

Both SkinBetter and Alastin have redefined what sunscreen can feel like. These aren’t your average formulas—they’re intelligent skincare backed by science and designed for real, everyday wear.

SkinBetter Tone Smart SPF is a mineral-based sunscreen with a sheer tint that adapts to your skin tone, offering a soft, even finish while protecting against UVA/UVB, blue light, and pollution. It’s rich in antioxidants, easy to apply, and doubles as a primer under makeup.

Alastin Hydratint Pro SPF offers broad-spectrum coverage with a gorgeous, glowy tint. It not only shields your skin from sun damage but also hydrates and nourishes with a lightweight, breathable feel. It’s especially loved by those with dry or sensitive skin—and anyone who wants a healthy-looking radiance without heavy layers.

What Makes These Formulas Stand Out: 
  • Broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection
  • Antioxidants to fight environmental stressors
  • Mineral-based and reef-friendly
  • Tinted options for a natural finish (no white cast!)
  • Non-comedogenic and safe for sensitive skin
The Bottom Line: Sunscreen Is Self-Care 

Think of sunscreen not just as protection—but as preservation.
Your skin works hard for you every day, and a daily SPF is one of the easiest, most effective ways to care for it.

Whether you’re spending the day outdoors or just commuting to work, applying sunscreen is a small habit that makes a big impact over time.

This National Sunscreen Day, commit to making SPF a non-negotiable part of your routine—and choose formulas that truly support your skin’s health.
