Try These: Sunscreens
We’re all aware of how important it is to wear sunscreen these days. With statistics about skin cancer and our current awareness of its role in skin aging, we know that sun damage is something we can’t take lightly.
What many people still don’t know though, is how sunscreen has changed over the years. Formulas are no longer heavy, greasy, sticky or smelly- they have improved dramatically and are now comfortable, hydrating, cooling and lightweight.
