Here are four smart sunscreen options to add to your daily sunscreen plan:
Dye time
From the French brand La Roche-Posay, this “ultralight” sunscreen formula has a universal tone to combine with most skin tones. Until then, face makeup. The Anthelios Mineral Tinted Ultra Fluid has a sun protection factor (ie SPF) of 50, thanks to 100% mineral filters. Suitable for sensitive skin, the broad-spectrum sunscreen: it blocks UVA and UVB rays, is resistant to sweat and water for up to 40 minutes.
