Sunscreen is the one thing you should always apply before heading out the door and keep handy in your go-to summer bag. So consider this your sign to stock up on SPF before the season starts.
Whether you’re into water sports or more of a poolside lounger, these sunscreens protect you against the sun’s harmful rays from head to toe.
Makeup lovers will appreciate a two-in-one SPF and primer that blurs for the perfect base while those who spend lots of time out on the ocean will love a heavy-duty SPF that’s water-resistant up to 40 minutes.
You can also opt for silky sunscreen drops with skin-loving ingredients or a unique SPF balm that leaves behind a luminous glow.
