While the vacay season is still on, wearing sun protection is a must for your skin and hair. The same goes for the scalp – the most sensitive area when it comes to prolonged sun exposure. For those of you who hate applying sunscreen spray to the roots as they get oily and hard to wash out, Hawaiian Tropic Sunscreen Powder is a great alternative. Here’s why you should try it ASAP.
Hawaiian Tropic Mineral Translucent Sunscreen Powder Brush is a one-step SPF packed with naturally sourced sea minerals and fruit extracts. The product is a lightweight, non-oily broad-spectrum sunscreen that provides a translucent and matte finish to your skin. And the best thing about this dermatologist-tested and vegan beauty find is that it’s basically a 2-in-1 goodie that can be used as a face and scalp sunscreen. Though the powder brush might seem pricey (16.99$ for 0.15 oz), it performs multiple functions that will surely pay off.
Hawaiian Tropic Sunscreen Powder contains a built-in brush for easier product application. Just remove the cap, slide down the plastic sleeve around the brush, and then tap it against your hand to start the flow of powder. Before sun exposure, apply the product to the sensitive skin area. Don’t forget to reapply at least every 2 hours for safe sun protection.
The powder is designed as a sunscreen product, so you can use it on your scalp before heading off to the beach or a pool party. Of course, there’s always a chance to throw a cap on, but just in case you’re a middle part girlie, wearing sunscreen is your best way to avoid red scalp and heat damage. Apply the product gently to your hairline and blow off the excess product with your fingers for a more natural look.
Yes, you heard it right, the sunscreen powder by Hawaiian Tropic can also be used as a dry shampoo as it gets your scalp clean by absorbing oil and sweat. The powder leaves a white trace on your hairline that looks exactly like dry shampoo. So, if you need to get rid of the grease after spending hours under the sun, this product is for you!
Hair devotees are obsessed with the sunscreen powder and rate it with 4.2 stars on the Hawaiian Tropic website. “Love this product! Perfect over makeup or around eyes/mouth and in hairline,” one reviewer shares. “This powder is amazing. It eliminates the shine without falling in the lines on my face. The SPF is a bonus,” another person shares.
However, some nay-sayers claim the product is messy and hard to apply. “My one flaw for this is that it’s messy. Once you open it and use it once it will make a mess in your makeup bag or purse. Because powder doesn’t stay in the tube,” a user explains.
As always, there’s only one way to know whether the product is worth the money – try it yourself!
