Martha Stewart is the queen of many things — TV, the home, cooking and CBD — and well, now it’s time to add beauty to the list. The entrepreneur is somehow 81-years-old and still looks fab. If you ever had any doubt, allows us to remind you of her gorgeous “thirst trap” photos. So naturally, when Stewart recommends a skincare product, we just can’t help but listen.
Luckily for us, she spilled the beans on her entire routine, which includes a lot of must-have products from brands like Clé de Peau Beauté to Mario Badescu. But one skincare essential she told Woman’s Day that she “always, always, always” uses is SPF. As Stewart said, “SPF has to be in something when I put it on in the morning. I like SkinCeuticals.”
Now that it’s finally spring and many of us will be spending a lot more time outdoors, there’s no better time to shop for a new sunscreen for the season. After all, products with SPF can help prevent skin cancer, skin inflammation and premature aging. All of those reasons are enough for me to slather on a coat on my face in the morning and to re-up it several times per day — because SPF only lasts for a specific amount of time, depending on which option you choose.
Stewart herself opts for the SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50. According to her website, Stewart doesn’t slather on the sunscreen until she’s about to go outside, which makes sense, as SPF does wear off. She also enjoys how lightweight the formula is and that it’s tinted. Meaning, you won’t get that white cast as you apply this sunscreen. The magic of this sunscreen is, it matches nearly every skin tone, thanks to the iron oxide in the formula which uses color-match technology. The sunscreen will even give you a little bit of that fresh glow, which we can all use a little more of.

Heavy-Duty SPF
The sunscreen manages to walk the tightrope of having a strong protective formula while also feeling so lightweight that you’ll barely notice that you’re wearing it. It’s also shopper-loved with over 1,770 five-star reviews.
As one shopper wrote, “Wow this feels incredible going on. It really felt like silk. I love that it has a little tint to it too, to even out skin tone. It makes getting ready in the morning quick and easy.”
Another reviewer wrote that it works very well. “I recently went on a day trip and decided to try this cream on my face,” they said. “I didn’t apply it on my hands because I wasn’t assuming it to be super sunny when I reached home. My hands were burnt but my face was in a way better condition. I must say this worked incredibly well for me. As someone with sensitive skin that gets tanned and burned easily, this product worked sufficiently well.”
One shopper loved the way it made their face look and feel. “I was worried that it was going to leave my skin with another skin tone, but it didn’t happen,” they said. “It didn’t leave my skin looking or feeling greasy. And it is not sticky either. Also, it had a little bit of coverage on my acne scars.”
