I’m very picky with sunscreen because I want it to sit well under makeup, feel light on the skin and never make my routine feel heavy.

These two formulas caught my attention for different reasons, but both fit easily into an everyday skincare routine.

Vely Vely Bakuchiol Super Mild Sun Screen SPF 50+ PA++++

I like this one when I want a softer, more minimal finish. It is a mineral sunscreen with bakuchiol, and the texture feels smooth and lightweight rather than thick or overly creamy. On my skin, it gives a more natural finish that works well when I want my base to look clean and understated.

What I especially appreciate is that it feels comfortable enough for daily wear. I usually apply it as the final step of my morning skincare and give it a few minutes to settle before moving on to makeup.

Bliiv:u Collagen Bouncing Sunscreen SPF 50+ PA++++

This is the one I choose when I want my skin to look a little fresher and more luminous. The texture feels more moisturizing, so I personally like it on days when my skin looks tired or slightly dry.

It leaves my complexion looking smoother and more radiant without making it feel overloaded. I also find that makeup sits nicely on top, which makes it an easy choice for mornings when I want skincare and makeup to blend together seamlessly.

For me, choosing between the two depends on the finish I want that day. I reach for the first when I want something light and natural, and the second when I want extra glow and a more moisturized look.
