National SPF Day is tomorrow. They find a holiday for everything don’t they.

SPF is largely overlooked but should be the holy grail of every skin routine for both men and women alike. Aside from preventing skin cancer as an obvious reason, wearing SPF daily (yes in the winter as well) will keep your skin tone even avoiding dark spots or redness, stops DNA damage to the skin, and also prevents premature aging and wrinkles. However, as important as it is, sunscreen is notorious for clogging pores and leading to break outs. Chemical sunscreens can also be harsh and irritating. Some that do end up working well have other downfalls like leaving a white cast or clumping up under makeup. 

The Elta MD Broad Spectrum SPF 46 does none of the above and is my HOLY GRAIL sunscreen. I have back ups and back ups of this and feel 0 need to experiment or look any further than this product. For someone who has very sensitive skin and does tend to break out from SPF, I have never had an issue with this product. It does what it is intented to do protecting the skin from the sun, avoiding sun burns and damage, provided you’re diligent reapplying when needed and in addition I notice tons of other benefits. Before I get to my experience, here is a little more info about the product.
