Going for Glowy, Not Glittery Skin: The Best Face and Body Highlighter

Nothing I like more than giving the illusion that my skin is glowing from the inside out, especially during the summer. Traditionally, I have avoided highlighters because they tend to accentuate fine lines and wrinkles. I recently tried Unsun Cosmetics Face and Body Highlighter with SPF 15. Read on for my full review. Behind The Clean Beauty Brand Unsun Cosmetics Face and Body Highlighter ($34.00 1 FL OZ). The brand was founded by Katonya Breaux (mother of singer/songwriter Frank Ocean) in 2016, after her years of frustration with the limited amount of clean sunscreen products for women of color that didn’t leave a white cast, particularly for women with darker skin tones. Breaux created her own clean, inclusive sunscreen without a white cast. To ensure it meets clean standards, Unsun has banned 1700 ingredients and works only with US-based manufacturers to reduce its carbon footprint. The brand has earned a spot for its Mineral-Tinted Sunscreen on Allure’s Best in Beauty list for Best Sunscreen to use with Makeup. Unsun Cosmetics Face and Body Highlighter The Face and Body Highlighter is available in two shades, Golden Angel and Bronze Goddess. Both shades are intended to give you an additional glowy layer of protection on top of a bare face with sunscreen or after applying makeup. The highlighters reflect light, which helps to brighten the face and accentuate facial structure like the cheekbone area or other high points on the face. It can also complement your skin tone by creating a dewy effect. The formula is cruelty-free and vegan and contains linoleic oils, known for repairing the skin barrier and protecting it from environmental stressors. What I Like About Unsun Cosmetics Face and Body Highlighter Mineral sunscreen formula, better for sensitive skin and safer for the environment Lightweight formula, feels emolient and hydrating Multitaksing product that can be used on the face or body Created with melanin-rich skintones in mind Encourages year-round, daily use of sunscreen through a traditional makeup product Good for mature skin that needs a little help to glow What’s Worth Noting Strategic application is key to creating a makeup free look Available only in two shades Overall Review The Face and Body Highlighter is a must have for your skincare or makeup routine. It works to counteract harmful sun rays that accelerate signs of aging while providing the extra boost mature skin of color needs to achieve a radiant (not glittery) glow.
