Summer is around the corner, but regardless of the season, it’s always important to wear sunscreen. You’ve probably tried SPFs that leave a white cast behind, turn you into a greasy mess, trigger a breakout or all of the above. Finding your perfect sunscreen is no easy task, but we found one that provides both skincare and sun protection benefits. Plus, it gives you the most stunning glow, which is something we could all use in this transition from spring to summer.

The Sun Shield Body Glow SPF 50 Sunscreen is one of Kopari’s more recent launches. Upon first glance, you’d probably mistake it for a tanning oil, but it’s actually a clear gel sunscreen that also contains a touch of shimmer. With this sunscreen, you shield your skin from ultraviolet (UV) rays, nourish it with skin-loving ingredients and illuminate it with natural pearlescent minerals. 

The brand kindly sent me the product a while back, and I’ve been using it ever since. It feels comfortable on my skin and doesn’t leave me all slippery and greasy. It’s also just so aesthetically pleasing, my friends always ask to use some when I whip the golden bottle out at the beach or park. With summer right around the corner, I definitely plan to continue protecting my skin with this sunscreen.

I’m not the only fan of this glow-inducing formula. “Hands down the best body SPF,” wrote one reviewer who gave the new product a five-star rating. “Quenching hydration that rubs in seamlessly, while providing SPF 50 protection. Texture is more gel-like, and isn’t oily.”

The sunscreen usually costs $39 a bottle, but is marked down during Kopari’s friends and family sale. Everything on the site is 20 percent off through April 16, so be quick! This particular product is down to $31.20, and considering how a little goes a long way from my experience, it’s certainly worth the splurge.

This is especially true because it’s technically doing three jobs at once: protecting your skin from the sun, adding a luminescent glow and hydrating your whole body. And there’s obviously nothing more important for keeping your skin in tip-top condition than protecting it from the sun.

To make sure you’re not only shielding your skin from UV rays, but also keeping it hydrated, Kopari packs a ton of skincare ingredients into this product’s formula. Macadamia and hibiscus oils reduce UV irritation, protect and repair. Meanwhile, vitamin E, avocado oil and coconut oil protect, calm, moisturize and nourish. Your skin certainly shouldn’t feel tight or dry after rubbing this SPF all over your body.

Besides sun protection, superfood oils, antioxidants and natural pearlescent minerals, the formula is lightweight, applies clear, absorbs fast and doesn’t make your skin sticky. Providing broad-spectrum (UVA and UVB) sun protection, it’s water-resistant for 40 minutes, which means you should reapply it 40 minutes later.

Not to mention, it’s vegan, cruelty-free and reef-safe. Unlike many other shimmer products, this sunscreen does not transfer onto your clothes and leave behind stains.

“This sunscreen is really different! It gives my skin a nice glow and it’s not greasy,” wrote one reviewer. “This will be great to use every day as it’s very lightweight and doesn’t transfer at all to my clothes. Plus it smells amazing! Love it!”

In addition to looking and feeling good with your new glow, you’ll also smell like paradise thanks to Kopari’s iconic coconut milk scent that’s included in the sunscreen. 

“It feels like a gel that really hydrates and leaves skin glowy (NOT glittery). I seriously felt like a model wearing it,” wrote another shopper. “It wasn’t sticky at all and because it’s clear you don’t have to worry about crazy white casts.”

To look like a beach goddess, spread Kopari’s sunscreen over every inch of your body. Your skin will look and feel much more nourished, hydrated and glowy. And that is how you start your hot girl summer.

In an article for Sixty and Me I talked about how naturally occurring patterns in nature, also called fractals, are perfect for relieving stress. And that is important for you to know because your health care provider usually does not have enough time or resources to focus on anything other than medications, diagnostic testing, and perhaps a single piece of advice.

Getting an Unexpected Diagnose

And that’s the situation I found myself in when I was retiring as a nursing professor and was diagnosed with a serious autoimmune disease. Lupus erythematosus is a chronic illness, with no cure, where the body attacks itself. I was put on medication and told to avoid the sun.

At first, I was the perfect patient. I took the medication and stayed inside for almost a year. But I was feeling miserable. My emotional and mental health were suffering. It was only when I saw a comment on a forum for other lupus patients, where a fellow sufferer said that she felt so much better by going outside, that I decided I was going to give it a try.

My Outside Mindset Treatment

Almost immediately, once I stepped into the woods, I began to feel my old spark for life again. I even felt free and happy – like I did before the diagnosis. I realized that once I was outside looking around, the scary thoughts in my mind drifted off, I stopped trying to figure out how to get better, and just let things be.

This state of mind, this love and trust for life again is what I began to treasure and call my outside mindset. As I spent more and more time outside walking, nothing on paper changed. My specialized bloodwork (anti-nuclear antibodies) in my medical chart still showed that my particular lupus condition was at the serious end of the lupus severity of illness continuum.

But in terms of my attitude and what I could do with my life, everything had changed. My thinking loosened up. I wasn’t trying to control my disease anymore. I felt good about myself and my world around me. I started to live my life again rather than fighting what happened. My life felt transformed.

Why Outside Mindset Works

The first green space research on outside mindset was done by Gregory Bratman at Stanford University. His work showed that time in green space quells “negative rumination” or overthinking. Negative rumination is when worries or thoughts keep coming up in your mind. Your phrases often start with “what if,” “if only” and “why”.

You keep this to yourself because you are sure that you will figure out the answers. But there is no solution. What’s worse, turning these thoughts over and over again makes you more stressed. And to top it off, because you keep these thoughts to yourself, you won’t seek help about them.

It was amazing to me to find out that there is a place in the brain where these researchers measured negative rumination thought waves (in the subgenal prefrontal cortex by MRI). And more amazing to find out that this negative repeating thinking got quiet in green space. Discovering this was the reason I decided to write my first book, Take Back Your Outside Mindset: Live Longer, Stress Less, and Control Your Chronic Illness.

I Choose to Go Outside, Every Day

In my life, bad things have happened where I spent hours dwelling on problems. I realize now that I could have short circuited that pain by going outside. That’s the problem with us human beings, when things like illness or loss happen we go into negative rumination.

But this kind of thinking is like quicksand unless you can pull yourself out or someone pulls you out, you sink. Basically, getting outside is like someone giving you a helping hand out of that quicksand.

My tip for you today is to notice worries that keep coming up in your mind when you are inside. See what happens to these when you get outside. Try to see an extended tree branch as your helping hand to get out of your rumination quicksand… as you take back your outside mindset.

Let’s Have a Conversation:

How often do you go outside? Have you noticed improvement in your mindset when going outside? Do you tend to ruminate on past choices and life decisions?
