I’m ashamed to admit that I have only taken daily SPF application seriously for the last year or so. And not for lack of trying—I spent years experimenting with countless brands to find one I could stand to keep on my face, but nothing stuck. However, Kate Somerville's new Illuminating SPF 50+ Drops have changed everything I thought I knew about facial sunscreens.
My idea of the best facial sunscreen is lightweight, sinks in quickly, sits well under make-up, has no white cast, and gives me ample protection no matter the weather. It's a bonus if that sunscreen can double up as a complexion product or even a make-up primer.
