Under-$20 Products A Longtime Beauty Editor Swears By

We all need sun protection, but unfortunately, not all sunscreens are made with all skin tones in mind. Black Girl Sunscreen is an amazing moisturizing product with SPF 30 that works on all shades. I’ve been using it for years, and it’s a staple in my skincare routine. My skin is always protected from the sun, and it’s easy to reapply with your hands or a makeup sponge if you’re outside for long hours. It’s a clean formula, free of parabens, fragrance, oxybenzone, octinoxate, silicone, and aluminum, and it’s infused with jojoba oil. There’s a matte option, but I like a dewy finish, so I prefer this one.

Promising review: “Love it, it leaves my skin moisturized, protected with a healthy glow, and it doesn’t leave a white-purplish ashiness on my skin. I believe it is great and universal to all skin tones and types. Just remember to do a skin patch test with any skincare products if it’s your first time using it, especially when it comes to your face. I love it, and my daughters, son, and husband love it too.” — Serenity
