Ask + you shall receive! This is one of my most Frequently Asked Questions… Personally, I only wear sunscreen when I’m going to be in the sun for a prolonged period of time. I do not wear sunscreen daily or under my makeup. Most makeup already has it built in anyway, which I believe is enough protection for the hour or less a day that I’m actually in the sun. Just to be clear, I’m not downplaying Sun protection… I totally think it’s a must, but I don’t live on a Tropical Island – I live in New Jersey, where it’s summer for only a few months a year… therefore, I only slather Sunscreen on when necessary!
