I never thought I’d be the girl who sprayed sunscreen for the scent. But here we are.
As a beauty editor for over two decades, I’ve tested more SPFs than I can count—sticky ones, chalky ones, overly citrusy ones that somehow gave “cleaning spray” more than “clean girl.” So when I heard that Skylar launched a fragrance-infused SPF mist called Scent-Screen, I was intrigued—but skeptical. I love a multitasker, but I’ve also learned the hard way that “fragrance + function” can go very wrong.
But this? This was something else entirely.
From the very first mist, I was transported. The scent—Skylar’s Boardwalk Delight—is like a summer dream bottled up. Think: cotton candy melting in the sun, a little coconut milk creaminess, and soft vanilla wrapped around warm, salty skin. It doesn’t smell like sunscreen. It smells like a memory. A hot July afternoon at the beach, the boardwalk, that little moment when the sun starts to dip and you don’t want the day to end.
And then… I read the label. SPF 30. Water-resistant. Layers beautifully over makeup or glitter (yes, glitter). Made for sensitive skin. Vegan. Clean. Packed with skin-loving ingredients like red algae and copper peptides that hydrate while they protect. Honestly? It’s like your face and body mist had a baby with your favorite beach perfume and your dermatologist approved it.
The best part? It doesn’t leave that tacky film or strong sunscreen smell that lingers all day. I’ve used it for errands, brunch, and pool days. I’ve even misted it on before bed because I just wanted to fall asleep smelling like that.
It launched as a limited-edition drop, and (unsurprisingly) it’s already starting to sell out. So if you’re like me and want to smell like summer and stay sun-safe without compromising either—run, don’t walk.
