Sunscreen is the most important part of a skincare routine - I’ve heard it said that your skincare is pretty much ineffective if you don’t finish with a sunscreen. If you’re anything like me, you hate the smell of traditional sunscreen, the stinging eyes and the white cast.
I've tried many different sunscreens either from the drugstore or stores like Sephora and I've rounded up a few of my favorites. The thing I look for most in a sunscreen is how easy it blends - I do not want to be sitting there trying to blend it into my skin for 5 minutes. I also tend to lean more towards SPF 50 for more protection but during the winter, when I'm mostly indoors, SPF 30 works just fine.
