It’s nice to — occasionally — catch a whiff of your drugstore sunscreen of yore. The mix of sweet (insert tropical fruit here) and floral notes recalls innocent days spent building sandcastles and sucking down ice pops. But now that we’re grown and have skin proclivities and makeup routines and more refined olfactory senses to consider, the whole sun protection process becomes infinitely more nuanced. And as trying — and expensive — as it can be to find an SPF to suit all your tastes and demands, it’s essential that you do so.
