MUST-HAVE Sunscreen Sticks
MUST-HAVE Sunscreen Sticks ๐
And why you should use one. If youโre spending time in the water ๐โโ๏ธ or at altitude up in the mountains ๐ตโโ๏ธ youโll need extra sunscreen protection. A stick formula grabs onto your skin and wonโt budge, even if you swim or sweat. Here are some of my faves this Summer:

๐ Water-resistant for up to 80 minutes

FOR DISCOLORATION/MELASMA: Babo Botanicals Tinted Mineral Stick SPF 50
