You know the drill: Before enjoying a day out in the sun, be sure to arm yourself with the right SPF product. As a rule of thumb: never go out during the day when the sun is at its peak without any sun protection on, and reapply as often as every two hours, or even more often when you're swimming. Don't forget to slather on the SPF even while you're outdoors or facing screens, because blue light has the ability to promote premature skin aging as well.

Use it in the beach or out in the city, as it has a nice matte finish.
