WHY SHOULD I CARE?
When I was younger I felt pretty indifferent about sunscreen. I *falsely* assumed that because I lived in England I didn't need it – even on holiday I would scrimp on the lotion as I naively chased a tan. The only associations that came to mind when I thought of sun lotion were nice beach smells and memories of the blue waterproof stuff reluctantly being slapped on me as a child.
Luckily in my late teenage years, my mum started imparting her skin based wisdom on me and I eventually took it in. This education from my mother only increased as she (a woman with vitiligo) moved to a sun-soaked California where the need for sunscreen was immediate, and thus it was her who tipped me off about this product!
I love that Glowscreen glides on, sits so well under make-up and provides a natural glow. I can be a tad bit lazy when it comes to skincare and make-up, so the fact that it is a two in one product is a bit hit for me. It covers both my practical and aesthetic needs, meaning I can head out the door protected and looking slightly less drained (which is a real feat in these pandemic times).
QUICKFIRE QUESTIONS
If this product was one of the astrological signs it would be… A Leo 100000000 per cent, because it’s extra. It could have just stuck to being a sunscreen but had to add a little bit of spice and glow. It commands attention and I love it.
Who would use it... A Disney princess, I feel like they all have a good glow to them!
If this product was a meme what would it be... It would be a warning against this meme.
