As I’ve gotten older, I’ve definitely become more diligent about protecting my skin from the sun’s rays. I’ve always been super cautious when we’re out playing in the sun or on vacation – I even invested in some amazing rashguards last year that have become my must-haves at the beach. But I had been slacking on my daily routine in terms of SPF protection. Sure my foundation has some SPF protection in it, but skin care experts agree that the best protection for your face requires the application of a separate sunscreen BEFORE you apply your foundation or any other makeup. So I’ve been on the hunt for a facial sunscreen product that wasn’t too greasy but still gave me the protection I need.
I actually stumbled upon Garnier Clearly Brighter Sunscreen and Moisturizer while perusing a magazine – there was a little sample in the insert and I decided to give it a try. And then was hooked. This sunscreen goes on smoothly and absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy shine. And it smells AMAZING! Like a beach getaway with a hint of citrus. I can’t really speak to it making my skin look ‘brighter’ as my pregnancy skin was pretty dull to begin with, but now that I’m postpartum, maybe it will start to perk up. I will say that this has become a part of my daily routine, before I put on any makeup in the morning. It’s so refreshing and I feel great about the added sun protection. And it’s affordable – click here to get $2 off your purchase!
