We will repeat ourselves till this is completely drilled into all of our collective minds - SPF is not just for sunny days or going out in the sun. While we all apply sunscreen, this UV protection month we've gathered a base-to-lip routine with all products that have some sun protection. This routine in no way means that you can SKIP sunscreen - but it will help supplement the protective layer. Shall we?
