I’ll give it to you straight: Whether you hate sunscreen for the feeling it leaves on your skin or because its an extra step to take before leaving for work, it is not an excuse for you not to wear it. Most dermatolog­ists and beautician­s will tell you it’s a non-negotiable necessity for protecting your skin from harmful damage especially during these sunny days we are having in recent times. It’s a must wear to protect your skin from the harsh UV rays of the sun and just also to generally keep your skin looking smooth and healthy. ELTA MD UV PURE BROAD SPECTRUM SPF 47 EltaMD UV Pure Broad Spectrum SPF 47 is an excellent option if you’re seeking a sunscreen for a less active daily life in humid weather.
