Sun Bum Original SPF 45 Broad Spectrum Sunscreen Mist - Travel Size, 3.4 oz

This is my go-to running out of the house face sunscreen. I really like this sunscreen because I can use it over or under make-up and when I use it over, it doesn't mess up my face or make me look greasy. I've used this a ton in the summer when I'm going for a quick walk and just need a little quick protection. I've taken it to soccer games and ended up spraying the faces of all the nieces and nephews who arrived without sunscreen (I'm fairer skinned so I tend to think of sunscreen when sometimes their parents don't). Everyone who has used it comments on the banana smell - better than most sunscreen smells. I like that it's small enough to fit in a purse or bag and I take it with me everywhere I go. I do use a solid or cream if I'm going to be out all day, but this has worked really well for a quick spritz when I'm on the go!

As a parent, there’s nothing worse than struggling to get sunscreen on wriggly little faces—until now. The Sun Bum Original SPF 45 Sunscreen Face Mist is an absolute game-changer.

I bought this to use on my face after recently adding tretinoin to my skincare routine, and honestly, I’m really impressed. I’ve tried a bunch of sunscreens before, but this one checks so many boxes for me. First off, the mist application is amazing. It’s quick, even, and so easy to use, especially when I’m in a rush or reapplying throughout the day. I don’t have to rub anything in, and it doesn’t mess up my other skincare layers. Plus, it smells like banana pudding. I know that sounds a little strange, but it’s actually so refreshing and nostalgic in the best way. The scent doesn’t linger, so if you’re worried about walking around smelling like dessert all day, don’t. It fades fast. Now, it does leave a bit of a slippery feel if you rub your face a lot, but honestly, that doesn’t bother me. Plus I sweat quite a lot. My skin is very dry and sensitive (psoriasis and all), so my routine is already packed with rich creams and oils. This sunscreen mist melts right in and feels like an extra layer of goodness. I have had zero breakouts, no irritation, and my skin still feels soft and hydrated. One thing I can’t speak on just yet is how it wears over makeup, since I don’t currently wear any foundation or skin tint. I’m still on the hunt for one I actually like and that doesn't react funky with my current skincare regimen and separate. Once I find my holy grail product, I’ll definitely come back and update this review with how this mist sunscreen plays with it. Fingers crossed it’s as good over makeup as it is on bare skin. The bottle is also super convenient. The 3.4 oz size fits perfectly in my smallest purse, and even the little pocket on my car door when I am out and about. And for how often I reapply (which is a lot, since I’m outside in all kinds of weather), it’s lasted me a surprisingly long time.

really like the Sun Bum Original SPF 45 Sunscreen Mist for the face. It provides excellent sun protection while feeling lightweight and comfortable on the skin. The mist application makes it quick and easy to apply, especially when reapplying sunscreen throughout the day. The formula feels moisturizing without being greasy, and it absorbs nicely without leaving a heavy residue. It’s perfect for everyday use, outdoor activities, beach days, and travel. I also appreciate the convenience of the spray format, which makes sunscreen application much easier. Overall, this is a great facial sunscreen that combines protection, hydration, and convenience. A must-have for anyone who spends time outdoors and wants reliable SPF coverage without the hassle of traditional lotions.

Overall, it’s pretty good. It smells nice and is easy to apply, but it leaves a greasy residue that I don’t really like.
