When it comes to makeup and skincare products, going viral on TikTok is the greatest honor a brand can receive. After all, there’s nothing like having thousands of users raving about a once-unknown blush, shampoo, or Vitamin C serum to help cut through the marketing noise. Unfortunately, many of us have fallen for the hype in the past — buying a product we assume will change our lives, only to be met with meh results, or worse, a breakout or even damage/irritation.
Luckily, Naked Sundays’ newest tinted SPF lives up to the hype: It’s approved by Gen Z influencers and yours truly. Meet the BeautyScreen SPF50 Peptide Foundation Tint, which is part sunscreen, part skincare, and part makeup. It’s created by Australia’s number one SPF brand, and since that country has some of the most restrictive sunscreen regulations — and the most punishing sun rays — in the world, you can trust that this product delivers real protection from harmful UVA and UVB rays (both of which are the leading causes of skin cancer).
And this isn’t just lip service: I’ve personally tried the BeautyScreen SPF50 Peptide Foundation Tint and it’s currently at the top of my roster of daily products. I always rotate between 5-10 sunscreens, based on my everyday needs (tinted vs. dewy vs. mineral vs. moisturizing, etc.), so the fact that BeautyScreen is my tinted SPF go-to is a big deal. The formula is also packed with peptides and antioxidants, so it doesn’t just protect your skin, but actively improves it over time. This product is also pimple-safe and therefore won’t cause a flare of unwanted zits — a lifesaver for unfortunate souls like myself who now deal with adult acne.
As your personal lab rat, I can attest to the fact that the BeautyScreen SPF feels like a luxury moisturizer combined with a barely-there foundation. I often struggle to find an accurate shade match, but this product’s tint gave me the look of my skin, but way better. I’ve also had issues around dryness, so I’m typically wary of mineral sunscreens — zinc can be naturally drying — but that hasn’t been an issue with this product. And if you’re looking for a hydrating mineral SPF or one that has a subtle sheen for a summery, bronzed look, Naked Sundays has you covered there, too.
And here’s a bonus feature: Naked Sundays uses non-nano zinc oxide, which is considered to be the safest option for marine life and coral reefs, making it a win for your skin and the planet.
Naked Sundays’ BeautyScreen SPF50 Peptide Foundation is available now in 13 shades for $38.
