Despite my skin's aversion to any products containing SPF, I still continually search for the perfect face sunscreen. I've found that sunscreen lotions just do not work for me when I wear them underneath my makeup. For this reason, I have extended my search into the world of stick sunscreens, which I use over top of my makeup and only in certain spots of my face. Sure, this is obviously not the dermatologist recommended method, but I've found they work perfectly for a girl like me who only spends a few minutes in the sun every day. Most of my summer days are spent in an office, so before I head outside I do a few quick swipes of sunscreen over my nose and cheeks. Thus far, I've gotten 0 sunburns this summer, so I must be doing something right!

My stick sunscreen of choice is Sun Bum's Sunscreen Face Stick, not only is this sunscreen oil free, but it's also hypoallergenic, waterproof and sweatproof. Did I mention it's banana scented? As a girl who normally prefers fragrance free products, I can see how some may find this to be a little off putting, but it's really a pleasant smell. You can buy Sun Bum products at
Ulta, but I'd encourage you to also check out
Sun Bum's own website, as they have a pretty cool brand/ philosophy. Cheers to great summer sunscreen finds!
