Preventing

“I absolutely love this product. I’ve tried other SPFs, but they were too oily. This one is so nice and light with a tint that gives my skin a nice glow and keeps it protected. For the first time ever, I stopped wearing makeup.”

Must have!
I’ve been using this SPF for several years and cannot go without it! I love how it nicely evens out my skin while also giving me sun protection. There is also no white cast!

Love it!
Also, when the pump no longer gives product, open it up and there is still plenty you can get out with a clean Q-tip each day.
