When a product is this good, it's hard to stop talking about it! That's why Kyle Richards and I can’t keep quiet about this tinted sunscreen — Sofia Richie Grainge loves it too.

It has also been recommended by several other A-listers such as Richie-Grainge, Hailey Bieber And Kourtney Kardashian — so I knew it had to be good. After three months of testing, the sunscreen has become an essential part of my beauty routine, not only because it protects my skin so well, but also because it goes so well with my makeup.

Everyone knows they should wear sunscreen every day, but that doesn't mean everyone does. Thick, heavy, pore-clogging sunscreen formulas are partly to blame. Many of us still suffer from the nasty SPF our mothers told us to wear as children, but new sunscreen innovations are bringing about a change. There are many sunscreens that […]

Given the massive celebrity endorsement, I had high expectations when I first tested the EltaMD UV Clear Tinted Face Sunscreen earlier this summer. I mean, Richards rarely goes on one of her Amazon Lives without talking about it in some form. That includes her most recent livestream about her beach day essentials and her Spring Break Haul livestream where she called it “the absolute best.”

This facial sunscreen has kept my skin sun-free all summer, as its SPF is 46 and its micronized zinc oxide base protects my face from UVA and UVB rays. But it does so much more. In a celebrity-endorsed mineral formula, it contains skin-healthy ingredients including 5% niacinamide to combat blemishes and discoloration, hyaluronic acid to moisturize, and vitamin E to smooth wrinkles and fine lines.

But that's not all! What I like most about this sunscreen, and which puts all my others to shame, is its face-smoothing tint. It literally acts like an IRL filter for the skin, color-correcting, smoothing, and adding some color to bring it to life. It goes well with my foundation, but it's also given me enough confidence to go makeup-free on some days.

Another aspect that I love about this sunscreen, and that I have to assume celebrities love too, is its safety. It doesn't contain any harmful ingredients like parabens, dyes, fragrances or oils and is hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic and dermatologically tested. It's even recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation for daily use. The brand recommends applying it every two hours when you're out in the sun, which I found to be pretty accurate for my use as well.

Take one look at Christie Brinkley and you wouldn't guess for a second that the former supermodel just celebrated her 70th birthday this year. In fact, she looks so good that she helped Sports Illustrated celebrate its 60th anniversary, posing for the cover alongside many other icons. So when she comments on the sunscreen, […]

The sunscreen costs $45 for the 1.7 oz bottle, which is a little more expensive, but its effectiveness and celebrity and editor endorsements make it worth the money. A small amount goes a long way, so the bottle is sure to last a few months before you need to refill it. Soon enough, you'll be joining the rest Us and recommend it to everyone you meet.
