My Go-To Daily Drugstore SPF Moisturizer: Olay Whips with SPF
Sponsored by Olay. All opinions my own.
Sun’s out, skin’s out. Now that the sun’s making its grand entrance, you’ll probably find yourself spending more time outside. You know what that means… while SPF is important year-round, you definitely can’t ignore it when you’re getting those rays.
I’m about to spill the tea on myself: I was so terrible at daily SPF until recently. Using “sunscreen” on my face? With that heavy, greasy feel and strong scent? Wasn’t gonna happen, especially under makeup. But my personal sun protection has come a long way, and now I’m a daily devotee. I know that keeping my skin shielded is not only going to help my skin texture and appearance now but will help prevent damage and early signs of aging. If I’m not wearing makeup on a particular day, I make sure my morning moisturizer has broad spectrum SPF to cover me. If I am going for a full face, I double up my moisturizer with an SPF foundation for even more protection.
Having SPF built into the products I’m already using is the easiest way for me to stay on top of my game. So, when the new Olay Total Effects Whip with SPF 25 was released, I was literally squealing. I went through my original jar of Whips moisturizer so fast, using it nightly. Now that there’s protection in the formula, I can incorporate it into my morning routine too!
The Olay Total Effects Whip with SPF 25 has the same great texture as the original: lightweight, fluffy but super moisturizing. It dries down to a demi-matte feel, so you never have a heavy residue. This also makes it perfect for layering under other products like makeup. It’s personally been my favorite for my combo skin since I can feel the instant hydration without seeing it translate to shine— something that’s usually impossible with other sunscreens. There’s also no noticeable smell, which is super important to me.
Whips with SPF uses Active Rush Technology, which means it holds and releases one thousand times its weight in hydration while instantly absorbing into the skin, keeping it super lightweight. It also blends in with all skin tones, never leaving me with an ashy tint.
Not only does the Whip Total Effects with Sunscreen protect, but it has 7 other skin benefits including: replenishing moisture, evening skin tone, enhancing brightness, smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, minimizing the look of pores, restoring firmness and reducing dark spots. That means it’s tackling literally all of my skin concerns in one throughout the day.
If you struggle with remembering to wear SPF daily, get on the Whips with SPF train! It’ll streamline your summer beauty routine while doing good for your skin. Grab it at your local Walgreens, and you’ll be ready for all your fun summer plans.
How often do you wear SPF?

That last pic is adorable! Enjoy that sun with the safety of olay!
I think this is the one that I saw a sample of at the store! I haven’t worn Olay in YEARS but I’m seriously wanting to check this out!
This sounds awesome, especially for summer. I always forget to wear spf.
It’s definitely time to add some SPF to my routine! This sounds awesome 🙂
This sounds like it’s perfect for summer!
I have been LOVING their Whip line, but I haven’t tried this one yet!
Going to check this out! Even though I wear IT Foundation with SPF 50 I want a moisturizer with SPF in it too. I know that the foundation is not enough sunscreen coverage as I don’t apply it that heavily.
You’re so right Sandy! Even foundation that has SPF in it, usually we don’t apply enough to actually make it effective. Layering up is the best way to go!
This sounds great, I do need to find a new sunscreen thing for this summer I can put on daily, the one I had made me too oily.
Whipped textures are great! I love how they melt into your skin. I am horrible about sunscreen, I need to sneak it in without knowing!
I love anything with a whipped texture so i would soooo get this!!
I love moisturizers with SPF in them! I’m pretty bad about remembering to wear sunscreen, as well, so it’s so convenient to have it right in my face cream!
It’s great to find SPF at the drugstore in a staple moisturizer!! My Grandmom used Olay when I grew up. I recently picked up the sun care set from Sephora and I’ve been wearing a separate sunscreen everyday but like the idea of moisturizer and sunscreen in one.
I still need to try this, so glad they added SPF!
It’s great that they added this in an SPF formula. I wish I could drum this into the head of every teen and young adult I know. A tan is pretty but can be faked. Good skin lasts your whole life.
SPF is a must! I usually use a facial dedicated sunscreen after I finish up my morning moisturizing routine.
SPF in moisturizer is SO good for people like me who forget to put on sunscreen all the time! Must get this!
I love Olay Whips! I had this same one you showed and oh my gosh, it’s amazing!!
I am so bad about wearing sunscreen !! But I know I need to. I just hate the way it feels. Definitely going to give this one a try.
I like the Whip formula so glad to know there’s one with SPF. Love that photo of you at Grand Canyon!
