The review: Suncare is a daily practice, but a one-and-done approach doesn’t quite cut it. You need to have a good touch-up option on standby — especially if you’re getting direct or lengthy exposure. Experts recommend reapplying every two hours, so if you’re hitting up a patio or a picnic, it’s best to be prepared. This totally translucent stick makes the task a breeze, even if you’re wearing makeup. Perfect for warm weather, the formula boasts technology that senses heat, water and sweat to create a stronger barrier on the skin while remaining invisible. The pint-sized stick is ideal for on-the-go use, and beyond the face, the compact shape manoeuvres all kinds of small areas effortlessly. Swipe it over tops of ears, backs of hands, an exposed scalp … you get the idea.
