At Lumina Insight, we believe in intentional living—even with skincare. You don’t need 5 different sunscreens gathering dust in your cabinet. After testing and intensive research, we found the 3 truly versatile sunscreens that replace your entire collection.

The Minimalist’s Sunscreen Philosophy

"One Bottle to Rule Them All"

The Problem:

• 63% of Americans own 3+ sunscreens but only use 1 regularly (2024 Skincare Habits Report)

• Most “specialized” sunscreens (e.g., “beach,” “daily,” “sport”) are marketing gimmicks

Our Solution:
Find your skin soulmate—a sunscreen that:
✔ Works for 90% of your life (work, workouts, weekends)
✔ Layers well under makeup (in case you use it)
✔ Feels invisible (so you’ll actually reapply)

The Only 3 Sunscreens You Need

1. EltaMD UV Clear SPF 46 (The All-Rounder)

Why It’s Minimalist:

• Doubles as a primer (niacinamide smooths skin)

• Safe for acne-prone and sensitive skin

• 3 oz tube lasts 3 months with daily use (approximately)

Best For:

• Office days → Gym → Errands

• Skin types: Combo, oily, rosacea

Where to Buy:

2. Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40 (The Invisible One)

Why It’s Minimalist:

• Silicone-based → Blurs pores like a primer

• Travel-friendly size (1.7 oz)

Best For:

Use this instead of buying a separate “glow primer.”

How to Choose Your One-and-Only

The 3-Question Test

1. Where do you spend 80% of your time?

   • Desk job? → EltaMD

   • Outdoors? → Blue Lizard

2. What’s your biggest sunscreen hate?

   • Greasiness → Supergoop!

   • White cast → EltaMD UV Clear

3. Do you wear makeup daily?

   • Yes → Supergoop! Unseen

   • No → Blue Lizard

Minimalist Sunscreen Habits

1. The “Two-Finger Rule”

• Squeeze sunscreen along index + middle finger → Perfect amount for face/neck.

2. Reapply Without Ruining Makeup

• Keep a SPF powder (e.g., Colorescience Brush-On) in your bag.

3. Skip the “Specialty” Sunscreens

• That “post-gym mist”? Your daily sunscreen works if you pat (don’t rub) it over sweat.

FAQ

Can I use the same sunscreen in winter?
Yes! UV rays exist year-round. Blue Lizard’s mineral formula is excellent for snow reflection.

What’s the cleanest sunscreen?
Try Pipette Mineral SPF 30 ($12 at Target) for reef-safe options.

How much sunscreen do I really need?
One 3 oz bottle should last 2-3 months with daily use.
