If you're dying to look like an albino vampire like me, THIS IS YOUR ANSWER! Or, if you want to just be a smart person, lather yourself up in these sunscreens then get a spray tan. (I've tried that and just look like Tan Mom/a lunch shift stripper, and also I'm just lazy, so I stay my natural translucent shade of pale.) There is NO REASON not to wear sunscreen on a daily basis.

But if I don't leave enough time to take care of my skin, I break out like I'm in high school again. (Frosting is a big enough portion of my diet that I'm already not doing myself any favors in the acne department.) Here's how I prep for my daily battle against zits, the sun and aging...View Article
