I received a sample of this Life Brand Sunscreen Continuous Spray SPF 30 in Coconut Lime ($11.99) yesterday. Perfect, I thought–continuous spray sunscreens are my favourite (so quick to apply) and the scent sounds delicious.
In reality, the scent is too yummy, as it turns out. I sprayed some on today and this is all I can think about when working out:
Needless to say, it’s kind of torturous.
This sunscreen will have to be reserved for beach getaways and non-workout days.

Do you put on makeup to head to the gym? One PR girl recently guiltily confessed to me that she puts on blush before heading out to exercise.
Now I don’t think you should do your whole face, but I know I need more on my face than just sunscreen to feel presentable to the world, so I usually slick on a soft lip colour.
What’s working for my workouts lately: Smashbox O-Gloss Noir. It goes on black but then reacts to your skin to create a perfect bespoke berry.
Bonus: it’s jam-packed with antioxidants such as Goji Berry-C Complex. Downsides? Gloss can muck up your water bottle spout more than a lip balm does. Oh, and O-Gloss Noir doesn’t have any SPF (but my everyday balm does so I’m covered).
As a side note, as I mentioned I’ve been donning D.J.V. Beautinizer Fiberwig LX daily and have put it through the workout test and it didn’t smudge whatsoever during my oh-s0-sweaty evening runs.

With high temps and the moderate to high UV index forecast for the rest of the week, don’t leave home without a hat to shield you from the sun’s rays. Haven’t yet picked one up? Nab one of these chic options from
Joe Fresh or
Banana Republic (if you can still find one–fall merch is already in stores!), or hit up
Tilley for their always classic hemp hat.
Banana Republic, $62
