The most important product in your skincare routine should be SPF. Whether you’re 21 or 50, SPF is needed in your life. The sun is your enemy. Make no mistake about it. And for the love, stay out of the tanning beds. I get it, I’ve been there. I used to manage a tanning salon. And let me just tell you my forehead wrinkles are super pissed at all the time I spent trying to bake myself. So now I am basically neurotic about the sun. I mean just look at the hat I use on the beach. So SPF is something I wear daily. Even in the winter when you think you don’t need it. Hell if I’m sitting too close to a window I am wearing SPF.
I wanted to share a bunch of SPF options for every budget and skin type. Highly rated SPF options. All different formulas as well from sticks to sprays, I’ve got everyone covered.
