Hey! Though autumn is just around the corner, we still have plenty of outdoor plans on the calendar, so a reliable sunscreen is still an absolute must-have. My favorite face SPF cream for the last couple of years has been MISSHA All Around Safe Block Essence Sun SPF45 PA+++ . Over a month ago I found myself in need of a new sun protection product and, during a quick trip to Target, I spotted the Neutrogena Beach Defense Kids Sunscreen Spray with Broad Spectrum SPF 70 on sale. It was exactly what I was looking for—a high-SPF product that I could use for both myself and the kids. I’ve been a fan of higher SPF sunscreens for a while now, so this seemed like a great option. I've put this product to the test over the past month, even though we haven't made it to the beach yet.
