From radiance-boosting abilities to oil-busting benefits, it might surprise you to know that your trusty skin savior goes beyond just SPF. Brace yourselves, beauty junkies, because we’re about to reveal the hidden talents of our favorite SPF multi-taskers.
SPF And Then Some
Hidden Talent: Moisturizes
Thanks to the lush trifecta of shea butter and olive and avocado oils, this airy mousse with an SPF of 50 leaves skin soft, supple and protected.
Hidden Talent: Acts as a Foundation
This multi-tasker lives up to its “Perfector” name, defending against sun damage while also delivering a flawless finish to your complexion that rivals your tried-and-true favorite foundation.
Hidden Talent: Fights Multiple Causes of Photoaging
UV rays aren’t the only stressor on this does-it-all formula’s radar. It also defends against pollution and damaging free radicals that can come from your smart phone and computer. Its power lies in a potent blend of antioxidant-rich ingredients, including Echinacea GreenEnvy™ and Black Chokeberry extract.
