It’s hardly a secret that we here at Refinery29 love sunscreen. And while I usually reach for silky lotions and airy mists for everyday use, on days when I want to show off some skin, a tinted or shimmer-infused SPF lotion always does the trick. The only catch? Most formulas I’ve tried either transfer onto white clothing (bad news for my linen sundresses) or feel like I’m wearing a heavy layer of body makeup — not exactly the vibe during hot girl summer.
So when I got the chance to try Vacation’s new Orange Gelée SPF 30, I was immediately intrigued. The innovative gel formula has a sheer tangerine tint (don’t worry — it rubs in clear) suspended in a hydrating, balm-like base. It’s not meant to perfectly match your skin tone (unless you’re an Oompa Loompa), but rather give skin a warm, sun-kissed glow. It’s unlike any sunscreen I’ve tried before — which is why it just might become my new summer go-to
