Pamela Anderson and Hailey Bieber Love This $36 Sunscreen From Summer Fridays

Stx– February 16, 2023

What do Pamela Anderson and Hailey Bieber have in common? It might sound like a riddle, but it's a serious question—and one we have the answer to. First, there's the shared celebrity status. Second, there's the affinity for creating iconic and trendsetting beauty aesthetics (Pamela Anderson ushered in the grungy-glamorous look that was so popular in the '90s. Hailey Bieber, on the other hand, is a purveyor of recent trends like "glazed donut nails"). And third, there's the fact that they both swear by the same sunscreen.

That's right—the Baywatch star and supermodel turned skincare-brand founder uses the exact same $36 sunscreen from Summer Fridays—a brand known across Instagram and TikTok for its efficacious formulas and minimalist aesthetic. While everyone is likely familiar with the brand's iconic Jet Lag Mask ($49), the sunscreen is just as good, albeit less hyped up. Keep scrolling to see the exact sunscreen and learn why they love it so much.

This sunscreen has a mineral formula, meaning it contains physical blockers instead of chemical ones. In this case, that's zinc oxide, an ingredient known for shielding the skin from UV rays while being gentle enough for sensitive skin types. There's also squalane, which is a hydrating ingredient that makes the skin soft and smooth and has an antioxidant complex to protect the skin from free radicals. As for the texture, it has a thin, serum-like consistency.

Bieber took to Instagram to share her love for this mineral sunscreen. She posted a picture of the bottle on her Instagram Story, tagging the brand and its founder and writing "empty," with a crying emoji. You know it's good if she used it to the very last drop…

Anderson, on the other hand, waxed poetic about this sunscreen in a video for British Vogue. She pulls the sunscreen out of her bag and says, "I should have used more sunscreen when I was little. I counted my freckles the other day. I have like 137 just on my nose. Should have worn this." The video moves quickly, but if you look closely, it's clear she's holding the Summer Fridays sunscreen. She also shares some other beauty product favorites, including an intensively moisturizing lip balm and a couple of products from her preferred makeup brand, Ilia Beauty.

In the video, Anderson also flashes a small, near-empty jar of this deeply nourishing lip balm that contains calendula, St. John's wort, silk, and wheat germ oil to smooth and soften lips.

This is actually the first product Anderson displays, simply saying, "It's good." With a unique serum consistency, this concealer covers imperfections while vitamin C helps brighten the skin and fend off free radical damage. We love a skincare-makeup hybrid.

"I love Ilia," Anderson says. "Ilia is really beautiful. This is their little highlighty thing. We didn't know about this in the '90s, but this is good."
