In skincare, sunscreen is one of the most important steps—but finding one that feels good enough to wear every single day is another story. If you've been on the hunt for a formula that doesn't leave your skin feeling greasy or interfere with your makeup, Alex Drummond may have just found your next favorite.
During a recent Instagram Q&A, one follower asked for an SPF that Alex recommends. Alex admitted that making sunscreen part of her everyday routine wasn't always easy. "Okay YES this was a struggle for me for a long time," she shared. "But I've recently made it a resolution to wear SPF every day on my face and finally found this one that I like."
Now, the sunscreen she swears by is Summer Fridays ShadeDrops Broad Spectrum Mineral Milk Sunscreen SPF 50.
According to Alex, this mineral sunscreen checks all the boxes. She says it's "great under makeup or on its own," making it an easy addition to her routine whether she's wearing a full face of makeup or keeping things natural. She also appreciates that it doesn't irritate her skin or sting her eyes—two common complaints with many formulas.
Another feature she especially loves is that it doesn't pill, meaning your makeup won't roll or bunch up after application. Instead, the formula goes on smoothly and feels "super lightweight," making it much easier to stick with the habit of wearing SPF every day.
Beyond Alex's glowing review, there’s a lot of upside to this product: ShadeDrops is as a lightweight, broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen with SPF 50 that protects against UVA and UVB rays while doubling as skincare. The fast-absorbing, milky serum is infused with antioxidants, ceramides, and glycerin to help hydrate and support the skin barrier, leaving behind a soft, natural finish. It's also fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, and designed to be gentle enough for sensitive skin.
As if one recommendation wasn't enough, Alex recently shared another reason to check out the sunscreen. She spotted a discounted bundle featuring both the ShadeDrops SPF 50 sunscreen and the brand's tinted Lip Butter Balm—another favorite she calls her "go-to summer lip."
So, if you're looking to refresh your warm-weather beauty routine, this bundle is a simple way to stock up on two of Alex's current favorites.
