No matter the weather, your location or your skin tone, sunscreen is always a skincare must-have. Besides preventing sunburn, it protects your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays. Some sunscreen products even work as moisturizers or makeup primers to prep your face before applying foundation and concealer.

One product that checks all of those boxes (and more) is this Black Girl Sunscreen Face and Body Moisturizing Sunscreen, which happens to be on sale for under $10 right now. After slathering on numerous sunscreen products over the years, I’ve concluded that this one is my favorite. Here’s why.

This SPF 30 sunscreen doubles as both a primer and a face and body lotion, and it offers protection against harmful UV rays. Infused with natural ingredients like jojoba oil, cacao and avocado, it also helps prevent premature aging, fine lines, hyperpigmentation and dark spots. To top it off, Black Girl Sunscreen is a Black- and women-owned company, and its products are formulated specifically for melanated skin.

One of my favorite features of this sunscreen is that it goes on smooth and doesn’t leave a white cast like many other brands do. It’s sheer and lightweight, and I love applying it before starting my makeup routine. This sunscreen is also water resistant, so it’s perfect for a day of exercising or relaxing at the beach or pool. It only requires reapplication every two hours, or after sweating.

Amazon reviewers and skincare experts are hooked on this sunscreen and use it in their daily skincare and makeup routines. “My beautician was always glowing but without the greasy look. She told me about [this sunscreen] and I ordered it immediately,” says one reviewer. “I get more compliments now than I ever had before. I can literally wear it with no makeup.”

So, whether you have dry, oily or combination skin, apply this Black Girl Sunscreen year-round and watch how your skin transforms.
