The #ProductEmpties We Loved to the Last DropFrom new finds to longtime favorites, these are beauty products that our editors use until the bitter end (of the tube) |
The Moisturizing SPF That Saves My Skin Year-Round I've written about dozens of great SPF products over the years, and I currently have three or four I'm happy to switch between on any given day. But the more I use Karyng Complete Broad Spectrum SPF50, $75, the more I find myself going back to it, and the better my skin looks. It's quickly eclipsing my other favorites.
I think the biggest reason this sunblock is so amazing is it's seriously moisturizing, yet it's not a moisturizer with SPF (an important distinction in my book) -- it's a sunblock first and foremost. It contains coconut oil, glycerin and lecithin to keep skin hydrated all day, as well as a high-tech anti-inflammatory complex and an echinacea extract for antioxidant protection. The texture is fantastic and mousse-y with a slight tint, and it sinks in incredibly fast despite being a mineral sunblock (with titanium dioxide and zinc oxide -- my sun-protection ingredients of choice because they create a physical barrier from UV rays). As an added bonus skin care dorks like me will appreciate, it also has iron oxides to protect skin from visible light. All that and it's almost completely natural and free of parabens, phthalates and synthetic fragrances.
It shouldn't come as a surprise that this sunblock was created by a brilliant dermatologist, Dr. Karyn Grossman. She knows a thing or two about skin aging, and this product fights it in multiple ways, which is why it's my current go-to -- and probably will be for a very long time. --Dawn Davis
