An Everyday Staple!
I love this sunscreen! Finding an SPF that works well for my skin can be difficult, especially because I’m very particular about ingredients. Sheer Defense checks all the boxes for me. It feels lightweight, comfortable on the skin, and wears beautifully. I also love that I can wear it under my makeup without any issues. Knowing that it’s fungal acne safe makes it even better! 🙌🏼
