If there's one step I'm consistent with when it comes to my skin-care routine, it's applying sunscreen. Whether I'm working by a window, sunbathing on the roof, or going on leisurely strolls, I somehow always remember to put it on (trust me, it took a lot to get here).
My dedication really started when I discovered Supergoop!. I've long been seeing the brand on my go-to skin-care influencers' feeds, so I figured I'd give it a try. The Supergoop! Glow Stick SPF 50 ($32) has quickly become a permanent part of my beauty shelf. The glow stick, along with several other cult-favorite Supergoop! products are 20 percent off on TikTok Shop from Sept. 1 to Sept. 9.
What I Like About the Supergoop! Glow Stick SPF 50
From the first test, I knew it would become a personal favorite. The formula has a smooth texture and barely visible shine that perfectly complements my moisturizer. As someone whose skin type hinges on the dry side, it's important that the products I use don't make me look oily. After swiping and blending the sunscreen on my arms, legs, chest and shoulders, I noticed a dewy finish that conveyed a natural glow to my skin. Within hours of the application, I was pleasantly surprised to find no white cast or powdery residue (thank God).
The lightweight bottle seamlessly fits in any bag, making it an essential for leaving the house. I'd recommend keeping one in your everyday bag so you don't forget to use it when outside, and another somewhere with easy access in your apartment. I've tested the broad spectrum on many occasions, during sunny park hangs or sun-drench bike rides, and I'm happy to report that it effectively protects against UV rays. While having more melanin already affords me some natural protection, the sunscreen adds a layer that serves as an essential buffer. No burns, no damage, no problem.
What's Worth Noting About the Supergoop! Glow Stick SPF 50
I'd recommend the Glow Stick in a heartbeat, but I only wish it was sweat-resistant. I jump on every opportunity to have some fun in the sun, so that would've been a big plus. But it's perfect for those days when I'd rather be in comfy sweatpants and be a homebody with my husband. Luckily, Supergoop! also released mousse and oil versions that are sweat-resistant, and I know I'll eventually buy the whole line.

Editor Quote: "Show me someone who hates sunscreen, and I'll show them the Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40. It goes against all the negative preconceived people have about SPF — white casts, chemical smells, thick or hard-to-smear formulas — and instead goes on completely translucent and feels like nothing on skin, so you can stay protected without feeling like you did anything at all." — Kelsey Castañon, editor-in-chief

Read her review of the Supergoop! Every. Single. Face. Watery Lotion SPF 50 for more details.
Editor Quote: "I apply a generous amount of the Every. Single. Face. Watery Lotion SPF 50 onto my fingers (and by generous, I mean the recommended two fingers-worth amount) and rub it onto my face and neck to ensure I'm getting maximum coverage. It doesn't take much effort to blend in like many sunscreen formulas. The finish isn't as glowy as some of the brand's other products, but it's definitely not matte — it'll give you some shine that'll slowly fade as it absorbs. . . . I've worn it under makeup and on its own and love the finish it provides in both scenarios." — Jessica Harrington, beauty lead
Supergoop! Glow Oil SPF 50 ($40)
I love this glow oil because it's water-resistant for 80 minutes, and it's made with an antioxidant-rich formula. Add it to your regimen while it's 20 percent off on TikTok Shop from Sept. 1 to Sept. 9.
