I get so many questions about makeup and skincare and the one thing I tell every single person is, SUNSCREEN! If I could go back and tell my younger self one thing, it is to WEAR SUNSCREEN! As we head back into the world, on vacations, and in the sun, we have to remember to protect our faces, lips, and bodies, especially because most of us have been inside all year! Here is a list of my go-to sunscreens for different skin types and protection, I have used some of these for years now and they are all affordable!
