I don’t know about you, but it seems summer’s coming to an end here on the East coast. Despite this, SPF will forever stay! For all skincare enthusiasts and beginners alike, sunscreen is an absolute must-have in anyone’s routine, no matter rain, cloud, or shine. UVA and UVB rays can absolutely penetrate through clouds and overcast skies, so it’s all the more reason to ensure you slather on some protection before heading outdoors. Luckily, many sunscreens nowadays make application easier so you can be one step closer to glowing, healthy, and youthful looking skin. Read on to find a few of my sunscreen recommendations!

The AXIS-Y sunscreen is formulated with Mugwort, Niacinamide, and Squalane. The product is perfect for those with sensitive and acne-prone skin!
