"If I could offer you one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it." -Baz Luhrmann

There is a magical beauty product that works instantly upon application to protect your skin from wrinkles, skin cancer and dark spots. Surprise! It's sunscreen.

Many people, both men and women, don't understand the harmful effects of UV rays, rain or shine.

You read that right! Clouds do not protect your skin from UV rays. Cancer-causing ultra violet rays are always present, even when the clouds are blocking the visible rays.

So why doesn't everyone wear this magical potion on their skin every day? Many, myself included, find sunscreen to be either too thick or leaves their skin greasy and sticky.

After some digging on the internet, I've found that there are a wide array of products that are lightweight and don't leave behind a sticky film after application. Here are my favorite sunscreens that you can wear every day to protect your skin from the sun, no grease included. MLF Prepping at its finest, here!

1. Farmacy "Green Screen" - $36, Sephora. According to the reviews on Sephora's website, users wrote that, "it doesn't even smell like sunscreen" and, "it absorbs well and isn't greasy at all." There is absolutely no excuse to step the sunscreen step in the A.M. with this product in your inventory.

2. Clinique "Mineral Sunscreen Fluid for Face" - $27.50, Ulta.

Being a Clinique junkie, I've used this brand's sun protectant products for years. This one is by far my fave! It's lightweight, rubs in well and I've never experienced a break out from it. Clear, protected skin for the win.

3. Bare Republic "Mineral Sunscreen Face Lotion" - $14, Target. This product contains algae extract, which contains anti-aging properties and heals UV damage. It goes on matte, so it doubles as a primer, too.

Keep in mind that a minimum SPF 15 is recommended for an everyday sunscreen product (I use SPF 30), and if it's marked "water resistant," you're guaranteed to have more long-lasting coverage.
