Drunk Elephant Umbra Tinte Sunscreen Review

Plus, a few skincare regimen tips I learned from Sephora's free 15-minute mini-facial.

I was recently lured into getting one of Sephora’s 15-minute mini facials. My inner frugal Asian lady is generally pretty suspicious of “free” treatments, but my facialist didn’t pressure me into buying anything that day—and she actually recommended something that I already own, thanks to the Sephora Sun Safety Kit: Drunk Elephant Umbra Tinte Sunscreen.

Best sunscreens in Sephora's Sun Safety Kit 2018

Only six of the 14 sunscreens in Sephora's Sun Safety Kit offer protection against UVA1, UVA2, and UVB rays, but all of them are still considered 'broad spectrum.'

Sephora sells a Sun Safety Kit every year, which includes a ton of sample- and full-sized sunscreen and sun-related products, neatly packaged in a cute, reusable bag. It’s a great way to try out a bunch of sunscreens that have been popular among Sephora’s customers, without having to buy expensive, full-sized packages. You can also throw these mini-sized products in your bag, which makes them really great for retouching your sunscreen when you’re out and about.
