Beauty journalist Twiggy Jalloh rates Green People Sun Lotion SPF 30, $33. โI would be willing to spend more on the product if it has science behind it, for example, if it has an oil-free formula or helps with fading pigmentation and [minimizing] texture,โ she says. Only a couple of people who responded said that they would spend more on sunscreen, but like Jalloh, theyโre willing to pay more for skin-boosting ingredients and cosmetically elegant formulas. โI think because [sunscreen] is already so hit and miss with white casts, Iโm always willing to spend the money to find an SPF that ticks all the boxes,โ says beauty writer Ata Owaji-Victor. She adds, โAhead of a special occasion or an event where Iโd be more conscious of my skin texture in photos, Iโll wear the more expensive options I own, as Iโve found that they tend to be more skincare focused. I like Chantecaille, Dr. Barbara Sturm and La Prairie. Murad Correct & Protect Broad Spectrum SPF 45 is also excellent.โ Owaji-Victor says that she leans towards mid-range brands like Supergoop! when sheโs feeling less conscious about her skin.
