Sephora Sun Safety Kit 2018

If you are planning to get the Sephora Sun Safety Kit please check all available Sephora Favorites kits at Sephora Favorites or new skincare 2018. It can go live online anytime (last year it was available on 4/11)!

Every year Sephora releases their Sephora Sun Safety Kit in spring. It is a multibrands set contains tons of decent sunscreen, sun care and SPF beauty samples and full size products. There is no subscription required. This set is always the greatest value and the most popular of all Sephora Favorites kits. This set always sells out really quick. Every year Sephora will donate part of the sale to charity. Here’s the Sephora Sun Safety Kit 2017 (my review post here!):

I was lucky to grab this new Sephora Favorites Sephora Sun Safety Kit 2018 at my local Sephora store. Call ahead before you make a trip if they have it in-stock. There are two versions: Sephora Favorites Sephora Sun Safety Kit 2018 at Sephora.com and another one at Sephora inside JCPenney. I never came across the JCPenney kit.

This year 2018 Sephora Sun Safety Kit contains 16-piece and Sephora will donate $25 from the sale of this kit to the Skin cancer research and education. Kudo Sephora!

It comes in a big beautiful cosmetic bag. Net contents of kit 284.60 mL/ 9.62 fl oz & 2.20 g (way bigger than last year kit: 135 mL/ 3.91 fl oz). I don’t see the price tag for Canadian dollar, Sephora.ca may get one this year but not this particular set. Please share if you have more information.

A Quick Sunscreen Buying Guide

Sunscreen is the best anti-aging skincare we must own. If you are prone to breakouts or have sensitive skin, you will likely know from experience that finding the right sunscreen can be a challenging task. Some sunscreens break you out, wear off, leave some ugly white-ish cast, ball up and etc.

How to pick the right one from those with weird labels: SPF thing, PA thing, mineral, chemical or physical thing, UVA, UVB thing? What ingredients in sunscreen to avoid?

I will try to conclude it in a few lines so that we can enjoy the new Sephora Sun Safety Kit together even more!

UVA, UVB?

UVB = Burn (cause sunburn + blocked by window glass)

UVA = Aging (we can’t feel it but it can cause all aging problems + and can pass through window glass)

SPF?

SPF is an indication for UVB or sunburn protection. Minimum requirement by FDA is SPF 15. American Academy of Dermatology recommends at least SPF 30 (as of June 2016).

Board-spectrum?

Broad-spectrum protection means it will protect against both UVA and UVB rays.

Waterproof?

Recently, they will use these terms: Water Resistant (effective for up to 40 minutes in water) or Very Water Resistant (effective for up to 80 minutes in water).

PA+++?

PA followed by plus signs are Japanese rating of the UVA protection of a sunscreen. PA+++ indicates the highest level of UVA protection. PA+ means some UVA protection. North Americas do not have indication for UVA yet. But you can look for the ingredients below.

UVA active ingredients?

Look for zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, avobenzone, Mexoryl SX, butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane, or Tinosorb.

Mineral Vs Chemical?

Classic sunscreens use chemical (non-mineral, traditional, syntactic) active ingredients designed to absorb and dissipate UVA/UVB rays.

Mineral sunscreens use mineral (or physical) active ingredients such as Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide to scatter and reflect UVA/UVB rays.

Sunscreen ingredients options for special needs?

Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are preferred for sensitive skin, rosacea, or children.

People concern about?

May be Retinyl palmitate and Oxybenzone?
