Face the sun with these foundations
04.02.2019
Say it with us: Foundation is the first essential ingredient for a flawless face of makeup. What's even more important though is an excellent foundation with some good old SPF (Sun Protection Factor).
Yeah, we understand the feeling of sweating off a correctly applied foundation isn't the greatest feeling: in fact, it's downright gross!
As much as we want a face free of makeup from time to time, it's crucial to add a layer of protection to your precious complexion - even if it’s just a thin layer of SPF infused foundation. Remember, sunshine is the most significant factor to increase signs of ageing and skin cancer. We want you staying beautiful!
