Fun in the Sun
Sun Bum
Did you know that 1 in 6 Canadians will develop skin cancer over their lifetime? Sun Bum wants to ensure that sun care is a top priority for Canadians, and they’re here to help us enjoy some safe fun in the sun this season! I recommend investing in Original SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion ($18), Original 'Face 50' SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion ($13), Original SPF 50 Sunscreen Spray ($20).
Vichy 
One of my favorite sunscreen option is Vichy’s Ideal Soleil Ultra Light Lotion SPF 50. This innovative dry-touch lotion feels like your daily skin care. It’s non-oily, lightweight formula is quickly absorbed and does not leave skin feeling sticky or greasy for optimal comfort. Furthermore, it does not leave any white residue on the skin. $28
Ombrelle
SPF is one of the best preventatives of ageing and protecting our skin. With Ombrelle's Face Mineral Hydrating Lotion Sunscreen with SPF 50, you’ll be actively hydrating your face with hyaluronic acid while protecting with 100% mineral filters.
