I've been wanting to get a body lotion with sunscreen in it for everyday use, but I was surprised that there weren't any on the shelf at Target or the drugstore. So I'll have to order from Amazon. Do you have a favorite to recommend? Bonus if it has a little tint or airbrushing element to it.

Following this... I always wondered why Aveeno or whoever doesn't just put sunblock in all of their daily lotion. I've thought about adding some/making some myself!
-
Eucerin makes one, I would probably go with that.
Last year there was a company that marketed a daily lotion with SPF but now I can't recall the brand! I thought it was coppertone, but it doesn't seem to be.
-
So, Hawaiian tropic has a sunscreen that is "hydrating". I loooove it. It goes on like lotion, not sticky or greasy. I could totally use it as an every day lotion to put on out of the shower.
I also mentioned it in the "products that live up to the hype" thread.
Hawaiian Tropic Sunscreen Silk Hydration Moisturizing Broad Spectrum Sun Care Sunscreen Lotion - SPF 30, 6 Ounce https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00639DLV2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_E3kOxbHD60FFZ -
@psw27: aveeno used to make one that had SPF 15 or so, maybe they still do- but it felt like sunscreen. Like I always had that slightly sticky city grime is going to stick to my arms feeling that you get with some sunscreens. I was disappointed.
Alba botanica has one that I have wanted to try but havent yet.
-
Following. I haven't found one that didn't have that sticky sunscreen feel...
-
@SweetiePie: I'll look for it, thank you!
Interesting that so many of us are seeking this out. Maybe it's impossible to have the perfect lotion feel and good sun coverage...
-
I second @SweetiePie: this is my favorite sunscreen as well. It doesn't feel sticky at all to me!
For one that's more of a bb cream situation, there's the Jergens BB Protect with SPF 15 (https://www.amazon.com/Jergens-Protect-Perfecting-Sunscreen-Spectrum/dp/B00Q23KMKW). Dermadoctor used to carry one at Sephora (called Brazilian Bombshell) but I think it's been discontinued.
-
@jape14: have you tried the Jergens one? It seems like what I want, but I'm worried about stickiness!
-
@MoonMoon: I only have a travel size one so I've only used it a few times, but I don't recall any stickiness. It's definitely thicker than the Hawaiian tropic one. I think I got the travel size one at Target so maybe check there instead of the regular lotion aisle?
-
@psw27: I know aveeno used to have one just like it! @MoonMoon: I just take my favorite lotion and mix in half and half with a body sunscreen I like. Try to use higher spf since its diluted. It absorbs so well that way!
-
@jape14: good idea, thanks!
@junebugsmama: I might have to try the mixing, but I'm kind of going for mindless convenience so I'll see if one of the other products might work first!
-
I bought the Hawaiian Tropics Lotion today, my Target didn't have the Jergens in trial size. It feels pretty pleasant, so I'm looking forward to a daily SPF routine. It smells pleasant but strong so I hope the scent faces a bit with wearing. Thanks again for all your responses!
-
@MoonMoon: glad you like it so far! It is a strong smell, I do think that it wears off a bit as the day goes by. But at least it smells like the beach
-
@SweetiePie: used it today for a beach trip, loved it! It's what I look for in a sunblock, it works and actually feels good to put on, and the scent wasn't very strong when out and about, and I love the iridescence. Thanks for the recommendation!
-
@MoonMoon: I was in a pharmacy today and saw this! Looks like it's even lighter.
If you are interested but can't find it and want me to grab one for you let me know! I don't mind sending it. -
@SweetiePie: wow cool! Thanks for offering to pick it up, I'll check for it at the store next time!
