I didn’t start wearing daily sunscreen until I was in my 20s. I know, I know..I should have known better. Actually, I did know better. I just wasn’t focused on that (very important) part of my skincare routine yet. Instead of applying it each day, I would reserve it for languid beach days, long hikes, and any time I knew I’d be out for an extended period of time. Basically, I did that bare minimum.
Until recently, I mended my ways, and I apply SPF 30 or higher every single day. In hindsight, I have a sunscreen gel to thank for this improvement. Luckily for me and my sunscreen-despising psyche, a new formula has made its way onto the sun-protection scene. Enters this POPxo H2O Booster Sunscreen Gel. Holy moly, this sunscreen is everything. If there were a competition for sunscreen formulas, this one would get the gold. It’s safe to say that the crowds have gone wild. The product has five stars at MyGlamm, making it a bonafide hit. As someone ultra picky when it comes to sunscreen, this is hands-down one of my favourite finds and will be by my side all year round. It’s hydrating and silky but melts in leaving a subtle glow behind. If you are in the market for an SPF soulmate that ticks off all the boxes, keep swiping for all the tea.
Trust me, this one’s like liquid gold.
What Is It?
The sunscreen gel uses a mix of Kakadu plum and hyaluronic acid to boost water levels in the skin, providing a plumping effect. Wear it alone or layer it under moisturiser for dewy (and protected!) skin. Broad-spectrum SPF 30 protects the skin from sun damage and blue light, all while hydrating thirsty skin with a smooth-as-velvet finish. Pack this for your next vacay and we bet every single girl on the trip will ditch whatever they have packed to use this instead. It sinks in easily, smells great, lasts forever, and doesn’t eat into my beach snack budget.
Why Do We Love It?
This is the first sunscreen gel I ever used, and it’s been a rom-com love story ever since. Its lightweight, water-like texture is downright yummy and sinks into my skin every morning, giving it that supermodel-esque glow. The formula has excellent SPF 30 protection and it actually feels silky and comfortable all day. Plus, the sunscreen-yellow colour just puts in me a cheery mood by looking at it.
