I know firsthand that finding the best sunscreen is a daunting shopping journey. At baseline, I need an SPF product to protect my skin from UVA and UVB rays, defend against Skin Cancer, and prevent sun spots, wrinkles, and fine lines. But I’m a big believer that you shouldn’t have to sacrifice formula for function, so I selfishly also want a Sunscreen for acne pron skin that won’t break me out, a Body Sunscreen that will give my legs a gorgeous glow, and a tinted moisturizer SPF that will replace my need for foundation in the summer heat.
