Skin protection from the sun has to be all year, not just in the summer! During the other times of year I want a light sunscreen that still gives me high protection. I get both with Neutrogena’s Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen with Heliopolis 360! It’s got 100 broad spectrum SPF with antioxidants. It blocks up to 99% of UVB rays.
