I’m getting my hands on it ASAP.

Spring has sprung and beauty routine reconfigurations are in order. A good place to start is with incorporating as much SPF into your routine as possible. I know it’s not the sexiest product, but it is one of the most important. Many active ingredients are photosensitive, meaning they oxidize and lose their benefits in the sun and/or make you burn quicker in the sun. Plus, sun damage greatly accelerates signs of aging. All that being said, you don’t have to add another step into your routine to get sun protection; simply swap out your primer for Kopari’s Sun Shield Soft Glow. It’s as impressive of a primer—if not more so than—sun protection.

Sun Shield Soft Glow Primer is a super hydrating, SPF30-infused primer. Although I’m saving it for my upcoming trip to the Algarve Coast (brag), I’ve played around with it and can attest that it has a really thin, water-gel-like texture, plus a slight sheen and subtle glitter that dissipates into an overall radiance. It completely absorbs, so much that if it weren’t for the glow, you’d forget you applied it.

There are only two brands in the world that make me genuinely excited about sun protection and Kopari is one of them. (The other is Vacation Inc—how could it not be with that packaging?) Kopari’s products are multi-purpose and feel like an indulgence rather than a chore to apply.

Sun Shield Glow primer, the facial follow-up to the brand’s much-loved body version, protects from both UVA and UVB rays, providing defense from both the sun and blue light damage. It’s also formulated with vitamin E, a moisture-rich antioxidant that fends off uneven skin texture and tone.

Kopari’s SPF primer has nearly 200 five-star reviews on its website alone. A shopper on Ulta said this primer “blurs” skin without any “dry time needed” to avoid leaving any “tackiness.” Another reviewer called Sun Shield “smooth and soothing,” adding that it “gives a subtle glow.” It also has a “soft” and not “cakey” finish, per another commenter. Plus, many shoppers with sensitive skin say they didn’t experience any irritation or breakouts from it.

I can’t wait to slather Sun Shield Soft Glow SPF Primer on my skin during the coming long sunny days. Head to Kopari to shop.
